Pittsburgh vs. Notre Dame CBB Prediction:
Considering Pittsburgh’s statistical advantages in offense and defense, and Notre Dame’s recent success against the Panthers, this matchup is expected to be competitive. However, Pittsburgh’s overall performance this season gives the Panthers an edge. My favorite play, however, is the over 137.5 at Bovada.lv. The over has cashed in five straight games between these two teams and is 5-1 in Notre Dame’s last six games.
