Pittsburgh won their opener easily, but the trend in their last two games vs. West Virginia and Cincinnati exposed their offense. The Panthers managed just 27 total points in the two games. The good news is the defense has allowed 51 total points in three games, or just 17 per contest, as they prepare for North Carolina. The Heels offense is not as good as a year ago, but it is still good. The issue is the defense allowed over 500 yards to Appalachian St. and 437 yards to South Carolina. North Carolina can't run the ball and Pitt has been great against the pass. This game is a matchup made for Pitt to excel, and outperform expectations. Make the play on Pittsburgh.
