10* Underdog Upset Play
(NCAAF) Notre Dame vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: 4.50 | -110.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Win
The 24th-ranked Fighting Irish have won the past three meetings against the Panthers by a total of 12 points, and could be headed for another tight finish Saturday at Heinz Field against a desperate Pitt team.Pittsburgh has had a history of keeping things quite close against Notre Dame as the last 3 meets were very close, The last five meetings between the Irish and the Panthers have been decided by six points or fewer, perhaps none more dramatic than Notre Dame's 29-26 triple-overtime win last November when Pitt blew a 14 pt forth Q lead. PITT is led by QB Tom Savage who has 14 TD'a and 7 INT's. on the season. Pitts plays relatively decent pass coverage, only giving up 59% completion to opponents, behind defensive experts like K'Waun Williams and Anthony Gonzalez who can both cover the pass They will give Rees problems and I'll back Pitt here to get the win and propel them close to a bowl game with a Saturday night upset.
