Four teams are still perfect in ACC play. That'll change on Saturday night with two of them, Pittsburgh and SMU, squaring off in Dallas. Pittsburgh is coming off a convincing victory over Syracuse, whereas SMU narrowly survived a trip to Duke. Pick the Panthers — who are playing excellent football at the moment — to cover as 7.5-point underdogs.
