The UNC football program takes on Pittsburgh on Saturday night on the road. We gave five predictions for what we think will go down in the contest.

Looking to start conference play on a strong note, the UNC football program will travel to Pittsburgh for a primetime Saturday night battle.

Mack Brown’s team will look to do something it hasn’t done since 2017: win at Heinz Field.

UNC Football fans don’t need to be reminded of the last two trips to Pittsburgh, both of which resulted in overtime losses. The Tar Heels hope that the narrative changes this week, as this is a game they can’t afford to lose if they have any hopes of earning a spot in the ACC title game.

Heading into this week’s matchup, we’ve assembled a few predictions that we think are likely scenarios for the UNC football program’s matchup with Pittsburgh.
