4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: Pittsburgh +1.5
Wake Forest has struggled with turnovers in their passing game lately. As the away underdogs, I’m leaning towards Pittsburgh to cover the spread at +1.5.
Pitt is looking to keep the train rollin’ after that nice win last week over the #14 Cardinals.
Wake have only got their 3 wins with W’s over Vandy, OD and Elon. Hardly a smorgasbord of top teams in College football. Now they’ve got QB issues. Do you think WF can take down Pitt without Kerns? The Deacs offense isn’t striking fear into anyone anytime soon either.
Wake Forest are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games against ACC teams, and they’re 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games.
My forecast sees this total landing at 49 total points. I have a small lean OVER the total in this matchup on Saturday.
The total has gone OVER in 9 of Pitt’s last 10 games, and 4 of their L5 on the road.
