College football odds Week 9: How to bet Pittsburgh-North Carolina

Published

The 4-3 Pittsburgh Panthers will travel to Chapel Hill to take on the No. 21 North Carolina Tar Heels in a competitive Week 9, college football showdown.

Pitt has had a disappointing season so far. After bringing in USC transfer quarterback Kedon Slovis, the Panthers had high hopes for Kenny Pickett's replacement. Pitt's offense has been inconsistent, and with losses in two of their last three games, the Panthers could use an offensive spark against a subpar Tar Heel defense.

North Carolina's offense has been dynamic all year. Redshirt freshman quarterback Drake Maye has passed for over 325 yards per game. Expect the passing attack to dominate this highly-anticipated ACC matchup. 

Here's everything you need to know about Pittsburgh-North Carolina, from the point spread, moneyline and the total Over/Under.
