#3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Pittsburgh Panthers: Staff Picks

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are on a 10 game winning streak and haven’t lost to an unranked opponent since 2016. The Pittsburgh Panthers have lost 3 in a row and are in the middle of a very disappointing season. So... this game feels weird but more of the same. Notre Dame VS Pitt always seems to be one of those “dumb close” games, and perhaops we get that again this Saturday.

The Irish are 10 point favorites right now, and according to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Irish have a 78.9% chance of winning. We shall see.
