Pitt vs UNC Free Pick

Tonight at 8pm Pitt takes on the Tarheels of UNC. This is an ACC matchup where sportsbooks have the home team (Pitt) is favored by 4 points. The total is 50 points.

We are going to make this free pick short and sweet and get down to the nitty-gritty. Basically, this is a matchup between two very scrappy teams. These are both teams that have kept their games tight.

UNC comes in with a 4-5 record overall. Their losses have been to some very tough teams and those losses were close. They famously lost to Clemson by 1 point on the last play of the game when going for a two point conversion. In their last game UNC was beat by a very solid UVA team 38-31.

Pitt came out of the blocks weak, losing to the same UVA team 30-14. But after that the Panthers have strung together a 6-2 record. They have won 5 of their last 6 games.

North Carolina is just 4-4-1 ATS this year. They are 1-2 ATS away from home. But they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played at Pitt.

Pitt is just 2-3 ATS at home. They are 0-5 straight up of their last when playing UNC.

North Carolina has a better offense. They score 7 points more per game than Pitt does. But they also allow 7 more points per game.

This should be a good solid competitive ballgame where either team can win. That is why we are on UNC +4. Anytime you honestly feel either team can win the game, the value is on the team getting the points. Also, traditionally UNC beats Pitt. The Tarheels have been sort of a kryptonite for Pitt.  Nickel on the Tarheels.
