Pittsburgh at Notre Dame

Pittsburgh has plenty of offensive punch, 4th in the ACC in scoring and faces a Notre Dame defense that is 12th in points allowed and second to last in field goal defense, allowing .456% shooting in conference play, as well as second to last at defending the three allowing over 39% shooting. Pittsburgh is off a slow-down game with BC, winning and covering. The over is 24-11 in the Panthers last 35 games following a win, plus 20-6 over the total following a spread cover. Notre Dame can score, too, behind a strong frontcourt of 6-11 senior Garrick Sherman (13.8 ppg, 7.4 rpg) and 6-5 junior Pat Connaughton (13.3 ppg, 7 rpg). Notre Dame is off a win and the over is 5-1 in the Fighting Irish's last six games following a win.  Pitt is 62-30-1 over the total in Saturday games and this has all the makings of an uptempo shootout.
