Kickoff is about four hours away, so let's get the game thread going with some predictions.
I don't have a good feeling for Pitt in this one. Notre Dame's offense is going to present a lot of challenges, and the Panthers' best chance will be if they can force DeShone Kizer to make some mistakes. ND has turned it over 11 times in 8 games, so mistakes have been made, but Pitt will need to capitalize on them if they happen.
Still, I have a hard time predicting a win here, because the matchups all seem to favor Notre Dame. Games between these two teams have been close in the past - and in more recent history, North Carolina was more than a touchdown better than Pitt last week, so maybe these Panthers can keep games close. Regardless, I think this probably ends up as a loss for Pitt. Let's say 31-21.
What's your call?
