Why Pitt Will Win

You think Clemson is a weeeeeeeee bit distracted this week?

Dabo Swinney seems more interested in playing Florida State than Pitt.

Of course, Clemson will be rested and ready, and of course there won’t be any problems walking and chewing ass at the same time. However, this Pitt defense and pass rush requires every team’s full and undivided attention.

The defensive front is pass rush is the second-best in the nation in sacks per game – but tops overall – and leads the way in tackles for loss. The Clemson offensive line is great in pass protection, but it wasn’t able to get the ground game going against Clemson, and it’s going to be under pressure all game long.

The return of Kenny Pickett has done wonders for the Panthers, coming up with 404 yards in the blowout win over Virginia Tech after getting back up to speed with a near-perfect performance against Florida State.

Why Clemson Will Win

Welcome back, Trevor Lawrence.

DJ Uiagalelei has been more than good enough in his place, but Lawrence is Lawrence. Against a pass rush like Pitt brings, you need a veteran quarterback who has seen and done it all. Not that Uiagalelei can’t handle it, but again, Lawrence is Lawrence.

Yes, the Pitt pass rush is tremendous, and yes, it’s going to bother Lawrence a bit and will live behind the line from time to time. Clemson can bring the heat, too, and the Panther offensive line isn’t as tight as the Tigers’ O front five.

Pitt can’t run – it’s not running a lick this week – and Clemson’s secondary has been fantastic. Throw in the pass defense and the time off for the banged up D to get healthier, and this is one ready Tiger team.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Is this when Clemson turns it on? It’s got its guy back under center, it had a break that was probably a good thing for the finishing kick, and now Pitt will get the anger directed towards Florida State.

Pitt will have its moments, but after sitting on the loss to Notre Dame for a few weeks, look out.

Virginia Tech (4-3) vs Pitt (4-4) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM


Why Virginia Tech Will Win

The Pitt offense just isn’t working well enough.

Not having QB Kenny Pickett around for a while was part of the problem, but even when he was playing – and even when he came back – the running game wasn’t strong enough. The Panthers ran for 148 yards against a bad Florida State run defense, and that was the first time in the last five games they hit the 100-yard mark.

The offense can’t keep up in shootouts, Virginia Tech’s pass rush is strong enough to come up with a whole lot of big plays in the backfield, and the offensive front is good enough to at least hold serve from time to time against the great Pitt defensive front. The Pitt offensive line is getting rocked. However …

Why Pitt Will Win

That Panther defensive line continues to be amazing.

It’s coming from all angles, it’s wrecking games – coming up with seven sacks last week against ASU and with a nation-high 38 on the year – and now it’s going against a Virginia Tech team that has to run well to win.

The pressure from the Panther D hasn’t always translated into all-around production, but the run defense hasn’t allowed 150 yards on the ground so far, and the Hokies are 0-4 this year when they don’t come up with at least 283 rushing yards.

And then there’s the Virginia Tech Can’t Close problem …

CFN Experts Picks, Predictions: Week 12

What’s Going To Happen

The Hokies lost four games they could’ve won, and at least three they should’ve won with the chances they had to pull it off.

Having Pickett around makes all the difference for the Panthers, but can last week’s blowout over FSU be what changes everything around? Virginia Tech is the better team, and if the ground game is working it has the ability to pull this off, but it all depends on whether or not star RB Khalil Herbert’s banged up hamstring is okay.

Herbert will play, but the offense isn’t going to run well enough against this Panther defensive front to get out of Heinz alive in yet another close loss.

Pitt (4-4) vs Georgia Tech (2-5) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Pitt Will Win

The defensive line is crushing and killing everything in its path.

Florida State ran for 146 yards last week against the Panthers, and that was a season-most allowed by the D that also generated 14 tackles for loss.

Pitt leads the nation in tackles for loss and and is third in sacks per game, it’s second in college football against the run, and now it gets a Georgia Tech offense that has to run well to win.

The Yellow Jackets have lost three straight as the ground game has gotten progressively less productive in each of the last five game games.

Why Georgia Tech Will Win

The Yellow Jacket defense needs to force mistakes, and it has to capitalize on them all. It’s not a coincidence that the team is 2-0 when it forces more than two turnovers, and is 0-5 when it forces fewer.

Pitt isn’t that bad at giving the ball away, but it gave it up three times a few weeks ago in the loss to Notre Dame.

There’s no Panther running game to worry about, there aren’t enough third down conversions on a regular basis, and overall, there are way, way, way too many penalties. Georgia Tech has a problem with flags, but Pitt really has an issue, getting nailed with an ACC-high 75.5 yards per game.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

Kenny Pickett made a difference. The Panther quarterback missed two games and was questionable for the Florida State game, and then he hit 78% of his passes for 210 yards.

He was good, the defensive line was better, and it’s all going to keep going against a Georgia Tech team that’s improving, but doesn’t have enough production on the offensive line to hold on against the devastating Panther pass rush.

Florida State (2-4) vs Pitt (3-4) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Pitt Will Win

Florida State’s defense continues to be just okay.

The offense is starting to play a little bit better, but the D has allowed well over 550 yards a game in each of the last three, getting destroyed on the ground by Notre Dame and through the air against North Carolina. But against Pitt, if you can’t stop the pass rush, forget it.

The Seminole offensive line has been better than past years, but it’s still a major problem and it’s still allowing too many plays behind the line. The Pitt defensive front continues to be a killer, leading the nation in tackles for loss and remains second in sacks. However …

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Florida State Will Win

The Pitt offense has gone bye-bye without QB Kenny Pickett, who’s still iffy at best for this. The Panthers are on a four-game losing streak with no running game whatsoever – they haven’t hit 100 yards in any of the last four games – and the passing attack isn’t making up for it.

On the flip side, the FSU offense has been a whole lot stronger over the last four games. The all-around playmaking ability of QB Jordan Travis has been a big help, the running game is now averaging close to 200 yards per game, but …

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

No one’s running on Pitt. The Panthers have allowed more than 100 yards on the ground three times and haven’t given up more than 115 yards to anyone so far. Travis will pass well, but the Pitt pass rush will take over as the game goes on.

The struggling Pitt offense will do just enough to get by – Pickett is still a possibility to go – and the defense will take care of the rest.

Notre Dame (4-0) vs Pitt (3-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Notre Dame Will Win

Pitt QB Kenny Pickett was out against Miami, and the offense had its worst output of the season with just 300 yards. The team was still feisty, but it didn’t have the offensive punch needed. Pickett is questionable at best, but even when he’s in, the offense has been miserable on third downs – 13th in the ACC in third down conversions.

Notre Dame might be having its issues, but it’s second in the nation in third down D, allowing teams to convert just 21% of their chances. Overall, there might have been a few problems against the Florida State passing game – which, as it turns out, was just getting rolling – but last week it stuffed Louisville to a dead stop.

However, more than anything else, to beat Pitt you have to somewhat slow down the devastating pass rush. Notre Dame’s offensive line is paving the way for a big year from the running game and is among the best in the nation at keeping everyone out of the backfield.

CFN Experts Picks: College

Why Pitt Will Win

Duke, USF, Florida State, Louisville. That’s Notre Dame’s schedule so far, and to quote Mark Hamill in the Uber Eats ad after being asked to call Patrick Stewart “Sir” … ooooooewwwoooooh.

The Irish haven’t exactly dealt with a killer slate, and they’ve relied on the running game to get by. Ian Book and the passing attack haven’t been totally awful, but they’ve been along for the ride.

Pitt’s run defense has been devastating, allowing over 100 yards per twice in six games with Louisville leading the way with the 116 yards against this group. Helped by the devastating pass rush, the Panthers lead the nation against the run, and that’s leading to big mistakes with 11 takeaways so far.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Notre Dame won’t do the Louisville thing again.

The offense moved the chains last week in the 12-7 win, there weren’t any turnovers, and the running game wasn’t totally awful. However, the passing attack didn’t click, and it was as if the team forgot to score.

Pitt’s defense will keep this from going off the rails, but the Irish lines will be enough to get through this and keep the No. 3 team in the country – ha! – advancing.
