NCAA-B | Notre Dame vs Pittsburgh
Play on: Pittsburgh -3½ -110 at BetCris
PICK - Pittsburgh Panthers -3.5
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 758
I'll take my chances here with the Panthers as a small 3.5-point home favorite against the Fighting Irish. Pitt was really playing some solid basketball before dropping their last two. They are still 7-3 ATS over their last 10 games and there's no question they will be motivated here.
Notre Dame is just 5-9 and 2-6 in ACC play. The Irish have consistently gotten too much respect from the books, as they are just 5-9 ATS on the season and 3-7 ATS over their last 10. They are also just 2-6 ATS last 8 as a dog and 1-5 ATS last 6 vs a team with a winning record.
Pitt is No. 7 in the ACC in offensive efficiency and No. 4 in defensive efficiency. Notre Dame on the other hand is 12th in offensive efficiency and 10th in defensive efficiency. The one thing the Irish defense does well is not foul, as they are No. 1 in the ACC in opponents free throw rate, but that will be put to the test as the Panthers are No. 1 in the ACC in free throw rate. I just think there's a bigger gap here than the number suggests. Give me the Panthers -3.5!
