Pittsburgh is coming into this game with a 14-8 record this season and they have been playing well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games, but they are only 5-6 in the conference right now and have been playing a lot of weaker teams in their last 4 games. They have a quality win on the road against Duke but since that win they have beaten Georgia Tech and Notre Dame who are 2 of the worst teams in the ACC as well as beating Wake Forest at home who has not been dominant in the conference either. They have actually won 3 of their last 4 games on the road but other than their win against Duke, their 2 wins against Georgia Tech and Louisville are not that great. They are going up against a NC State team that is 15-7 this season and has been playing much better in their recent games. NC State was not playing well with 3 straight losses but they have been much better since then as they have won their last 2 straight games and they are still 7-4 in the conference this season. Both of those wins came at home as they are now playing their 3rd straight home game and they have been much better at home recently as they have won 3 of their last 4 games there. NC State is starting to heat up again and they have been much better at home this season while Pittsburgh has been playing well recently but they have been beating bad teams on the road and this is where that comes to an end. NC State will cover the spread in this game.
