Cal Still Looking For First ACC Win

The Cal Golden Bears had chances to win in both of their first two games in ACC play this season. Instead, they lost tight games to Florida State and Miami, blowing a huge lead to Miami in their last outing at home. This week, Cal will look to bounce back from that heartbreaking loss by getting a win over a Pitt Panthers team that has had everything go their way in close games so far this year. For Cal, they need both their defense and offense to show up in this game, after bad offense plagued them at Florida State and bad defense did them in against Miami.

Pitt Looks to Stay Perfect This Season

So far this season, the Pitt Panthers are 5-0 overall, 1-0 in the ACC, and ranked 22nd in the country. Pitt has won some close games against Cincinnati and West Virginia already this year, while they won their conference opener by double-digits over North Carolina last week. Eli Holstein has been great for Pitt so far this season, throwing 15 touchdowns to just three interceptions. His ability to keep the football out of harm's way will once again be a key for the Panthers in this Cal vs Pitt contest from Acrisure Stadium.

Cal vs Pitt Best Bet

We will go with Pitt to cover the spread in Saturday's Cal vs Pitt matchup. We are expecting a bit of a letdown from Cal in this game after their disappointing finish to their contest last Saturday against the Miami Hurricanes. That, combined with the fact that Pitt has been able to do no wrong in tight games this year, should make the difference in this ACC matchup.
