Syracuse at Pittsburgh

Syracuse is on a 15-8 ATS run. There is plenty of motivation to play hard down the stretch as the Orange could miss the ACC conference tournament depending on how their final five regular season games go. Inconsistent Pittsburgh has a losing ACC mark. The defense is 10th in the 18-team conference in shooting allowed, and 14th at defending the 3-pointer (.347). They lost fourth-leading scorer, 6-5 senior, Damian Dunn this month, ruled out for the season with an injury. Pitt is on a 3-7 SU/ATS run losing four times as a favorite. Three games ago, the Panthers were 13-point chalk over Virginia at home but got whipped, 73-57. They're 1-3 ATS in their last four as a double-digit favorite. Play Syracuse.
