4* NCAAB ABSOLUTE SMASH

Pittsburgh vs. Notre Dame, 12/27/2011 19:00 EDT, Score: 59 - 72

Point Spread: -2/-102 Pittsburgh

Sportsbook: 5Dimes

Result: Loss

Notre Dame comes in off a 106-65 win over Sacred Heart, while Pittsburgh was stunned by Wagner 54-59 their last time out. I believe those two results have set up a very strong play on the Panthers tonight. Notre Dame is one of the most overrated teams in the country, and their record against the spread proves that. The Fighting Irish are 0-6 ATS this season.

Despite the upset loss to Wagner, Pittsburgh is still one of the top teams in the country. The Panthers are 11-2 overall and have been a very strong play on the road. Pittsburgh is 3-1 ATS away from home.

Pittsburgh is 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a S.U. loss, while Notre Dame is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win of more than 20 points and 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. BET THE PANTHERS -1.5
