Pittsburgh vs North Carolina Prediction, Odds & Picks – 10/5/2024

The Pittsburgh Panthers will take on the North Carolina Tar Heels on October 5, 2024, with the Panthers favored by three points. Early betting action sees the Panthers with a 55% spread bet advantage, while the Tar Heels have 45%. The total of 64 points has yielded 55% of bets on the over and 45% on the under. This Pitt vs North Carolina matchup is sure to be an exciting one for both teams and fans alike as Pitt looks to stay perfect and North Carolina looks to break its recent losing streak.

Pitt Hoping to Stay Unbeaten On Saturday

Through four games, the Pitt Panthers are unbeaten, winning their four non-conference games leading up to this ACC opener against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Panthers have not always won convincingly this season but they have done a nice job of closing out tight games when they have needed to, something they will hope to do again if necessary against North Carolina. Quarterback Eli Holstein will be a key contributor if Pitt is to win this game, as he enters this contest with 12 touchdown passes to just two interceptions.

UNC Looking For a Complete Performance

North Carolina started its season with three straight wins over inferior opponents. But the Tar Heels have lost two games in a row going into this Pitt vs North Carolina matchup in the ACC. UNC gave up 70 points to James Madison at home before losing 21-20 on the road against Duke in their rivalry game just last week. The Tar Heels have seen their defense struggle in games where their offense has performed well and vice versa. Here, they will need both their offense and their defense to play at a high level at the same time if UNC wants its first conference win of the 2024 campaign.

Pitt vs North Carolina Betting Pick

We are expecting an ugly game in this Pitt vs North Carolina matchup with both teams making some mistakes to keep their opponent within striking distance. But at the end of the day, we will take Pitt to cover the spread in this matchup, as the Panthers should be able to move to 5-0 against a North Carolina team that has struggled mightily with playing a brand of football where one side of the ball helps the other to have success.
