Wake Forest vs Pitt Betting Prediction

There won’t be a whole lot of defense played in this game. Pitt has been running up the score as of late and Wake Forest is averaging 78.5 points per game. I really am not sold on the Wake Forest defense either, and they are going to struggle to slow down Pitt here. Both offenses are going to have no issue running up the score, and this game will end up going over the total. Back the over.
