Each week, a team in contention for the College Football Playoff has to perform a tightrope act, and Week 12 is no different.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-2) can't afford another loss, or their playoff hopes will be gone. This weekend, they travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to take on the Pitt Panthers (7-2) from the ACC, who are lurking in the playoff shadows, from Acrisure Stadium.

Notre Dame vs. Pitt prediction, pick:

Put up or shut up time for Notre Dame. Amid a schedule many have denounced, the Irish get a great chance to pick up a big-time road win over Pitt.

Pitt, quietly explosive on offense, is ranked No. 6 in college football at 39.7 points per game, ahead of the Irish, putting up 38.7 points per game. They are doing it through the air, with 2,723 passing yards and 24 touchdowns. The playmakers out at receiver, Kenny Johnson and Raphael Williams, have combined for 1,098 yards and 10 touchdowns.

The Irish defense is built to handle this offense, though. Notre Dame has 25 sacks, 36 pass deflections, and 16 interceptions on the year. Turnovers against the Irish are lethal.

While Jeremiyah Love is doing his thing, with 988 yards and 13 touchdowns, the Pitt defense is stingy on the ground, giving up just 2.4 yards per carry and 81 yards per game. Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr will have to make a few big throws in this game to extend drives, and as he has proven this year, he is ready for the moment.

Prediction: Notre Dame 31, Pitt 21

Best Bet: Pitt +11.5
