The Syracuse Orange and the Pittsburgh Panthers will both be gunning for a victory on Saturday when they meet at Heinz Field.

ABOUT SYRACUSE (4-7, 2-5 ACC): Junior Zack Mahoney was 16-of-36 for 196 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and was sacked eight times last week in place of injured starter Eric Dungey, and Mahoney is expected to start again this week. Senior Amba Etta-Tawo caught a 46-yard touchdown, his ninth of the season, tying Clemson’s Deon Cain for the most in the ACC, and sophomore Dontae Strickland leads the team in rushing with 503 yards on 142 attempts. Freshman cornerback Christopher Frederick totaled a career-high six tackles against the Seminoles, played a role in three of the four takeaways and had his first career interception.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH (7-4, 4-3): Conner (945 yards) has 50 rushing TDs for his career, breaking the previous ACC mark set by Ted Brown of North Carolina State (1975-78), and his 53 total touchdowns eclipsed the old league mark of 52 set by Wali Lundy of Virginia (2002-05). Peterman, who is guiding the highest-scoring team (39.3) in school history since 1904, is completing 60.4 percent of his passes with 22 TDs against five interceptions, and he has thrown for 545 yards and eight TDs in the last two games. The Panthers boast the nation’s No. 4 defense against the run, limiting opponents to 98.1 yards on the ground.

currently has the Panthers listed as 24.5-point favorites versus the Orange, while the game’s total is sitting at 67.5.

Second-ranked Ohio State hosts No. 4 Michigan on Saturday with major playoff implications on the line in the 113th edition of the storied rivalry. The Buckeyes have dominated the series over the last decade, winning 11 of the last 12 meetings, including seven straight games in Columbus, and can send a clear message to the College Football Playoff committee by beating their bitter rival for the fifth straight time overall.

Ohio State has the most difficult path to the Big Ten championship game out of the three remaining teams in contention, as the Buckeyes must beat the Wolverines and hope No. 7 Penn State falls to Michigan State, but they could still earn a berth in the CFP for the second time in three years with another win against Michigan. The Wolverines are in control of their own destiny and could claim the Big Ten East title by earning their first win in Columbus since a 38-26 victory on Nov. 18, 2000. Michigan’s quarterback situation is still murky as starter Wilton Speight, who missed the 20-10 win against Indiana with a shoulder injury, and John O’Korn have split the first-team reps in practice this week. O’Korn struggled mightily in his first career start for Michigan last weekend but the Wolverines boast one of the top defenses in the country and defensive coordinator Don Brown – who has a stellar track record of stopping spread running attacks – hopes to put the clamps on an Ohio State offense that has scored 42 points in each of the last three games in the series.

Last time out for Pittsburgh, they were a 56-14 winner as they battled Blue Devils at home. Pittsburgh covered in the match as a -8-point favorite, while 70 combined points moved the game OVER for totals bettors.

Syracuse lost its last outing, a 45-14 result against Seminoles on November 19. Syracuse failed to cover in that game as a +23-point underdog, while the 59 combined points took the game UNDER the total.
