Place your bet on the Irish based on which of the following you believe --
The front line: Watching the chatter this week from just north of Heinz Field, things don't look great for the Irish. The city is strongly behind the mighty Panthers, and that support will make the difference for the Panther win. The Pitt fans may even stay through the third quarter or so. Irish lose, 24-22.
The inside story: I'm a coed at Pitt this semester -- taking an Italian class with a gaggle of 18-year-olds. The line from them is all Pitt although one of my classmates was totally impressed to learn that I was in the ND band. Irish lose, 56-17.
The magic bullet: Saturday is Nina's b'day. The odds makers clearly haven't factored that in. Irish win, 35-24.

OK,nice attention grabbing title Nancy! The birthday girl better be the good luck charm today since she forgot her shamrock earrings. Irish will have their hands full tonight.
I've been hearing that the stadium will have it's largest crowd ever. My question is, how big an Irish contingent will be there? I'm guessing it will be bigger than you would expect. Theory: at the beginning of the season, Pitt locals didn't know the Panthers would be high ranked in November, so didn't think to buy tix for the game. At the same time, eastern US ND fans gobbled up available tickets to travel to the 'burgh for the game. It will be interesting to see how "Irish" the crowd is.
Unfortunately your first angle was right on Nancy-Rose. Pitt played a better game all around and deserved to win. That is what hurts the most I think: we simply cannot beat a good team.
