PITTSBURGH -- Fresh off an upset win over No. 14 Louisville, the Pitt Panthers are expected to make it two in a row this week as they head back out on the road to face Wake Forest. 

Pitt opened as a narrow, 1.5-point favorite over Wake Forest and a -101 advantage on the moneyline vs. -118 for the Demon Deacons. The point total line has been set at 49.5.  

Wake Forest has been victimized during two of the more significant wins of the Pat Narduzzi era at Pitt, which also happens to be the only two times these teams have played each other. 

The Panthers beat the Demon Deacons 34-13 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to secure the program's first ACC Coastal Division Championship in 2018 and again, 45-21 in 2021 to secure the school's first ACC title. 

Pitt and Wake Forest are slated for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff from Allegacy Federal Credit Union Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina this weekend. ACC Network will carry the broadcast.
