It has a tough beginning to 2018 for North Carolina. They lost nine starters to graduation and had to open this season with suspensions to 10 players for four games. The result is an 0-2 start with both losses coming on the road. If there is any good news it's that the Tar Heels are home for the first time this season. Pitt is 2-1, but was no match for Penn State, who beat them 51-6 in Game 2. A win vs. Albany was expected, but their defense played well last week and shut down Georgia Tech 24-19 as a small dog. QB Kenny Pickett is a bit banged up, but will get the start here, as the Panthers step out on the road for the first time. The Pitt offense has been suspect, and with a banged-up QB and a North Carolina team playing decently on the defensive side of the ball sets this one up to finish UNDER the total.
