Football Betting: Big East-Notre Dame Over/Under Regular Season Wins Odds

West Virginia Mountaineers (Ov/Un: 8.5) Head coach Bill Stewart has posted a 17-7 regular season mark in his two years with the Mountaineers. Senior running back Noel Devine has rushed for over 2,700 yards for West Virginia in the last two years to lead the offense. The club will get an early test in September with a trip to LSU. In conference play, West Virginia's toughest road games will be at Connecticut and Pittsburgh. The team will host Cincinnati and Rutgers in 2010. Pittsburgh Panthers (Ov/Un: 8) The Panthers have gone 9-3 in the regular season in each of the last two years. While the club will have to go with an inexperienced quarterback in 2010, Pittsburgh will have one of the top runners in the nation in its backfield. Sophomore running back Dion Lewis gained 1,799 yards on the ground as a freshman. Pitt will face some tough battles outside of the Big East. The Panthers will meet Utah, Miami-Florida and Notre Dame in non-conference action. Its final four games of the year will be difficult as well. The Panthers will face Connecticut, South Florida, West Virginia and Cincinnati to conclude its regular season. In the stretch, only the West Virginia game will be at home. Cincinnati Bearcats (Ov/Un: 8) In his final two years at Cincinnati, head coach Brian Kelly posted a 23-2 record in the regular season. New head coach Butch Jones will try to keep things on track for the Bearcats. Junior quarterback Zach Collaros showed plenty of ability in 2009 filling in for injured starter Tony Pike. A late September home game against Oklahoma could set the tone of the season for Cincinnati. The Bearcats toughest road games in the Big East will be against West Virginia and Connecticut. At home, Cincy will face Rutgers and Pittsburgh. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (Ov/Un: 7.5) After his success at Cincinnati, Kelly will try to turn around the fortunes at Notre Dame. Previous head coach Charlie Weis managed to win only 15 regular season games in his final three years with the program. The losses of quarterback Jimmy Clausen and wideout Golden Tate will likely be felt by Kelly in his debut year with the Irish. The schedule appears to be reasonable for the club in 2010. With the exception of the regular season finale at USC, the road slate isn't too challenging. At home, Notre Dame's most difficult game will likely be against Pittsburgh.
