ACC Pick of the Week: Pitt at North Carolina

One of the top matchups in the ACC this Saturday when it comes to offensive firepower sends Pittsburgh to Chapel Hill to face the North Carolina Tar Heels in a 3:30 p.m. (ET) start at Kenan Stadium. BetAnySports has listed the Tar Heels as seven-point favorites and the betting line for the total in this Coastal Division tilt has been set at 67.5 points.

Both teams have already suffered a tough loss this season outside the conference with Pitt falling to Oklahoma State 45-38 last week in a wild one and the Tar Heels losing to Georgia 33-24 on opening day. The winner of this matchup will take an early edge in the race to win the Coastal Division this season, which figures to be a three-way battle between these two teams and Miami.

The Panthers open play in the ACC with an offense that has averaged 36 points over its first three games. This potent scoring attack has been fueled by a run game that is racking up an average of 239 yards a game. North Carolina is scoring an average of 42.7 points a game and it is getting done through the air with quarterback Mitch Trubisky throwing for 853 yards and five touchdowns in his first three games. Both teams have had their issues on the other side of the ball so look for an active scoreboard this Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill.

Each and every week of the college football season I will release my ACC Pick of the Week for SportsBettingStats.com. Below is a link to my full preview and "best bet" pick for this week's game.
