We're coming down the final stretch of the 2020 college football season. Week 15 provides the last loaded weekend of the year, and there are plenty of situational angles to explore.

Here's what's on our radar.

Pitt trending over

Pitt is really starting to open things up after going under the total in two of its first three games.

The Panthers have hit seven consecutive overs, and few have been close.

Opponent Result Total O/U
Clemson L 52-17 58.5 O
Virginia Tech W 47-14 52.5 O
Florida State W 41-17 52.5 O
Notre Dame L 45-3 43.5 O
Miami L 31-19 46.5 O
Boston College L 31-30 43 O
NC State L 30-29 45.5 O

Georgia Tech is the perfect opponent to keep the streak going Thursday - the Yellow Jackets have cashed six of the last seven overs as home 'dogs and six of the previous eight overall.

Trend play: Over 54

Herm Edwards, ASU struggling as favorites

Arizona State is among the nation's best underdog bets. Head coach Herm Edwards has been an underdog 12 times over two-plus years in Tempe, covering in nine of those games.

However, Arizona State struggles as a favorite.

The Sun Devils are giving 11.5 points on the road to archrival Arizona this Friday. Edwards and Co. are looking to get back on track, as they're just 1-9 against the spread over their last 10 when giving points.

Take the double digits here.

Trend play: Arizona +11.5

Home team dominates UNC-Miami series

Saturday's ACC clash between North Carolina and Miami should be a tight one. The clubs are 7-3 and 8-1, respectively, and the market pegs the Hurricanes as three-point favorites.

If you're stumped on this one, recent history says to side with the home team. That squad has covered in seven of the last eight clashes in this series

The Tar Heels have also struggled when playing in Miami, going just 1-4 ATS in their last five trips.

Trend play: Miami -3

Duke can't figure out Florida State

Duke's David Cutcliffe has done a solid job with the program over his lengthy tenure. However, Florida State has repeatedly been an obstacle for the 66-year-old. He's on an 0-5-1 run ATS over his last six meetings with the Seminoles.

This matchup involves two below-average squads, but Florida State is the better one. SP+ ranks the Seminoles No. 90 - eight spots higher than the Blue Devils.

Lay the chalk on the home team.

Trend play: Florida State -5
