North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Pittsburgh Panthers Preview and Prediction

Posted Nov 7, 2017
Motivation has to be a concern for UNC coach Larry Fedora going into Pittsburgh on Thursday. With four wins and games remaining with Virginia Tech and Miami, Pitt needs this win if it plans on playing in the postseason. Darrin Hall will continue his strong run, quarterback Ben DiNucci will be efficient, and the Panthers will get back to .500. Prediction: Pittsburgh 27, UNC 17 (Athlon Sports)
