Rolling with UNC +1. (I got it at 3 when it came out)
I know everyone is really excited about the season that Pitt had and everyone loves Pitt to knock off the Tar Heels. Not so fast I say. UNC matches up well with Pitt as Pitt loves to run the ball with their excellent running back Dion Lewis. However, UNC has a solid front seven and I think they do a good job of containing Lewis. UNC’s quarterback play has been touch and go this season but with the extra time to prepare I believe UNC will establish a plan to limit T.J. Yates’ mistakes. Pitt is coming off two tough losses to West Virginia and a devastating loss to Cincy in the Big East Championship game. I think after that they may have a tough time getting up for this game. A season where they showed great promise and potential ended bitterly and I believe the trend continues and they drop this game to an up-and-coming UNC squad.
