In their last outing, the Panthers gave their signature performance in an 80-66 home upset of Florida State. They shot 51 percent and committed just eight turnovers against one of the best defensive teams in the country. Pittsburgh, once felled by an eight-game ACC losing streak, finally looked like the solid club most observers expected. Look for the Panthers to keep it up Wednesday against a Wake Forest club that is getting a tad too much respect in the market. The Deacons also could be in a letdown spot after coming up short in a taxing game against Duke.
Toward season's end, sometimes you get ATS value on teams building for the future. Tonight I see that as the case with the Demon Deacons, who have shown bright spots but were perhaps a bit too young to thrive in the rugged ACC. Pittsburgh is a veteran team with five starters over the age of 21, including four over the age of 23. After their best win of the season against Florida State, this is a letdown spot as the Panthers start to envision their overseas careers.
