This is a 10* ACC GAME OF THE YEAR on Pittsburgh.

No outright here, but I think that Pittsburgh will be risking life and limb to try and do just that, and while I expect that effort to ultimatley come up short here vs. the 6-0 Louisville Cardinals, I do think it'll be more than enough to comfortably cover with what I feel is a very healthy spread.

Louisville is 6-0 cruising right now, especially with a bye game next week, followed by a home game vs. Duke at the end of the month. Off the 33-20 home win over Notre Dame as a six-point underdog, not only does this set up as a natural "letdown" spot in my opinion, but also a "look ahead."

No such luxury obviously for the 1-4 Panthers. With six games remaining, Pittsburgh has to try to find a way to pull off some upsets if it has any hopes of making a bowl game.

I base my picks on many different things, but this particular one is a fantastic "situational" one.

No outright, but much closer than expected. Grab the points, the play is the PANTHERS!

Good luck, NP
