Notre Dame is coming off a dominating win over Navy with a 49-10 scoreline, while at the same time have a solid winning streak going. Now that they have all this momentum gathered up from all these wins, we don't think they are ready to stop getting victories.
They'll be visiting the Panthers this weekend in the Acrisure Stadium, and they'll need all the help they can get. Their QB, CJ Carr has been playing phenomenal this season with 19 TDs and only 4 INTs, while throwing for 2275 passing yards. They'll also be focusing on their ground attack, led by Jeremiyah Love's 13 TDs and 988 Rushing Yards.
Pittsburgh are entering the game as underdogs, despite being at home and on a 5-game win streak. They'll need all the support they can get from their home crowd, especially since this season they have turned it around, compared to last year.
A big reason why they have been playing great is because of group effort, as well as consistent strategies. One of their better offensive players comes from their WR, Kenny Johnson, who has 573 Receiving Yards to go along with 4 TDs. On defense, they are led by Braylin Lovelace, their LB, who already has 55 tackles this season.
This tense game will hopefully be closer than expected, especially if Pittsburgh comes into the game aggressive. The spread favors Notre Dame with 12.5 points spread, and 54.5 over/under. The stakes are high, as a victory for either team will cement them into playoff contention.
Even though Notre Dame is on the road this weekend, we feel that their individual players will outperform the other team. This is the main reason why we feel that the Fighting Irish will cover the 12.5 spread against the Panthers.
