Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh game would be the first game on this list I’d rank in what I’d call a toss-up game.

The Panthers finished last season 8-5 while fielding one of the better defenses in the conference. The bad news is they return arguably the best defensive line in the conference.

The good news is their offense was very bad last year, but they do return Kenny Pickett at QB who threw for over 3,000 yards last season.

This will be a home game for the Noles, and this game is like the two teams are playing mirror images of one another.

Both teams will feature defenses that will be very good, with offenses that likely have question marks. Can either offensive line block the opposing defensive line? Probably not.

This will be a game where the winner comes down to who makes the fewer mistakes.
