Pittsburgh vs Duke Best Picks and Prediction
The Panthers are allowing the 45th fewest passing yards per game. When the Blue Devils have the ball, they will absolutely lock them down and keep forcing them to punt.
Now that Duke is allowing the 107th-fewest passing yards per game, I expect the Panthers to score enough points to win by a margin greater than the spread in this game.
I see Slovis flinging the ball all around their secondary, and they have had trouble. The Panthers, who still rank 45th in the nation for the most rushing yards per game, will also establish a run. They have the advantage of playing at home and are the superior team on both sides of the ball.
Pick: Panthers -7 (-110)
