The model favored PITT to win, and the call missed.
Pittsburgh rolls into this one unbeaten at 5-0 and ranked for the first time this year, fresh off a road win over Virginia Tech. North Carolina drops in after back-to-back losses, including a home setback to Notre Dame. Our model backs the Panthers at 64%, right in line with a market making them 3.5-point favorites at home. Pittsburgh's defense has been lights-out lately, and that point differential edge carries real weight here.
