Pittsburgh vs Notre Dame Prediction - College Football Picks 10/28/23

The Pitt Panthers and Notre Dame Fighting Irish face off on Saturday in a college football showdown at Notre Dame Stadium.

Pitt Have Been Disappointing

Pitt comes into this game with a 2-5 record overall and they have been very disappointing this season. There were high expectations heading into the season, but they haven’t even come close to living up to those. In the last game against Wake Forest, Pitt only scored 17 points and that led to the four point defeat. Christian Veilieux completed 28 of his 45 passes for 302 yards and two touchdowns. Pitt is averaging 24.6 points while their defense is giving up 24.6 points per game. The offense hasn’t been good enough, and the offense is going to be really tested in this game. 

Pitt Betting Trends

• The underdog has won four of Pittsburgh's last six games.
• Pittsburgh has failed to cover the spread in six of its last seven games.
• Each of Pittsburgh's last four October games against AP-ranked teams have gone OVER the total points line.

Notre Dame Bounced Back

Notre Dame has two losses this seasons but they bounced back in a big way in the last game. Notre Dame scored 48 points against USC and that was enough to secure the 28 point victory. The offensive individual stats weren’t that impressive, but  they were enough to run up the score. Sam Hartman completed 13 of his 20 passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Notre Dame overall this season is averaging 35.8 points while their defense is giving up 16.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 17th overall and they need to try and make a statement with the offense again in this game.
