They are also 4-10 ATS their last 14 overall games and 0-8 ATS their last eight road games. Meanwhile, Memphis sitting 2nd in the Western Conference with a 32-18 record, 2.5-games back of Denver.

ACC Clash here on Wednesday has 15-7 Pitt taking on 15-8 North Carolina. Pittsburgh is third in the ACC with a 8-3 record and UNC is 4th with a 7-3 record. Pitt has won two straight games, including last game vs Miami, 71-68, as a pick'em. That makes the Panthers 4-1 S/U and 3-2 ATS in their last five games. Pitt is 5-2 S/U on the road and a perfect 7-0 vs the spread. They have also outscored their hosts by a 75.4 to 66.6 ppg average. Pitt has been great to bettors with a 14-3 ATS mark their last 17 overall games. NCU might have 15 wins, but unlike Pitt they have not been good to bettors. The Tar Heels are just 7-13-1 ATS overall and 5-5 ATS at home. The Heels have won four straight and six of their last seven. However, they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games vs a team with a winning record above 60 percent. I'll take the points with a very good covering team here tonight. Play Pittsburgh. |
