Wake Forest is playing good ball entering this contest, but has had issues playing up to its competition and does lose in the underdog role by an average of 6.6 points. Pittsburgh has been covering machines all season long and wins at home by an average of 9.3 points. I’ll lay the bucket with the Panthers at home.
