SportsLine's model revealed its best bets for Saturday's ACC showdown of the Pitt Panthers vs. Miami Hurricanes

• 2 min read

No. 1 Miami looks to stay perfect on Saturday when the Hurricanes host Pittsburgh in a Week 8 ACC showdown at Hard Rock Stadium. Miami (6-0, 4-0 ACC) has been one of the most dominant teams in college football this season under quarterback Darian Mensah, the Duke transfer who helped catapult the Hurricanes atop the national rankings after the Canes knocked off rival Florida State last week. Pittsburgh (5-2, 2-2 ACC) will try to pull off one of the biggest road upsets of the year against the top-ranked team in the country. Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:

Top Pittsburgh vs. Miami predictions

After simulating Pittsburgh vs. Miami 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Over 50.5 points at betting apps. Miami has been the most explosive offense in the ACC this season, and Darian Mensah has been producing at the level of a Heisman Trophy contender since arriving as a transfer from Duke. The Hurricanes have generated enough offensive firepower to push this combined total past the current line even in a game where Pittsburgh's offense has been limited by its youth under center. 

Miami's last three games have gone Over the total, and five of Miami's six games have gone Over the total. Two of Pittsburgh's last three games have also gone Over the total. A total of 48.5 points is well within reach for a No. 1-ranked offense that has reached 30 or more points in four of its six games.

The model is projecting 51 combined points as the Over hits 58% of the time. See the model's spread and money-line picks at SportsLine.

How to make Pittsburgh vs. Miami picks

In addition to going Over on the total, the model also says one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations. You can only get the pick at SportsLine.
