Pittsburgh Panthers vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/22/25

We head to the ACC on Saturday afternoon for a Pittsburgh Panthers vs Notre Dame Fighting Irish prediction. Neither of these teams has been very good since beginning conference play, as Pitt sits at 7-8 and Notre Dame is 5-10. Notre Dame has lost 4 of its last 5 games, including getting smoked at home in consecutive games by SMU and Louisville. Of course, those are both tournament teams and far better than Pitt, so the Fighting Irish will look to bounce back. Pitt broke out of a slump by winning 2 straight, but to pour water on that, those games were at home and against Miami and Syracuse, who are at the bottom of the league. I don’t think we can confidently project a winner in this spot, and I think the smartest play is on the game total under 142.5.

These teams profile similarly. They are among the slowest teams in the country in terms of tempo, but they both play efficiently on offense. On the whole, both teams have been content to play in low-scoring, slow-tempo games when they play opponents who also prefer that style of play. That is what I expect today. Because both teams are better on offense than on defense, there is a chance of some efficient offense sinking this bet. But I think the most likely outcome is a slow, sluggish game that finishes close and in the upper 60s. Give me the under.

Pittsburgh vs Notre Dame prediction: Under 142.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
