I am coming off a nice night with Boise 1st Half (-14) & Under (57) for the game. I am looking hard at the Over in the Oregon State/Utah game for tomorrow.

The trouble game for me is this Pitt/USF matchup. You would think that USF is the easy pick but something is telling me to take Pitt +13.5.  I am not a big fan of Pitt but the line seems low which leads me to believe I should be looking at Pitt. I am a believer that the when the line looks to easy go the other way. Maybe I am way off on this game. I don't know.  

Give me your input on this game. Looking for good insight.

Pitt is a very popular pick on this board

I'm backing Pitt as well. For one, besides last week's showing against NC State, USF has been a huge disappointment for me. 

On the flip side, Pitt has been another very disappointing team for me as well.  I expected these two teams to challenge for the Big East title.


USF is 1-3 ATS so far, Pitt is 0-4 (mostly as favorites or small dogs).  Neither team has impressed me one bit, and I think 13 1/2 is too much to give the Bulls this time around.  Pitt will most likely be one of my biggest bets.

They are begging for USF action by setting that line at -13.5. Let's not forget that this is a conference game. These teams are familiar with each other. I am going with Pitt. I am a USF alumnus by the way. I think USF shows up under prepared and underfocused expecting to dominate at home. They'll get sloppy and win by a field goal late.

Yeah I am leaning towards Pitt myself. I hate to take them but I think I will.

Utah/Oregon st I think you have to go over. You have to like Utah in this game. I take them for the 1H. See how the game is going and jump on a 2H play if the opportunity is there.

Oregon St 0-2 on the road this season and I like playing against teams like Oregon St coming off a Big Win like they did last week.  I think they lose focus after such a big win.

Nub I will check out HB.com myself tonight to see what they post.

Thanks for all the input so far.

Actually Pitt did cover 1 game against Iowa if that counts. The line moved a day or two before at most books. S. FLA ATS isn't that great either and if you watched any of their games they haven't played that well. Very inconsistent especially on offense. Not deserving of a #10 ranking imo.

why would you pay someone for a pick, that may be the most stupid waste of money ever. If you want to give money away, you should at least donate it to a good cause.

I like South Florida. I have no confidence in Dave Wannstedt, no consistency, but I know what your sayin'. I think South Florida covers but by a close margin.

tough lost with USF although the under played well but was sweating it out.

 

Oregon St played their hearts out again and made Utah sweat i knew it was an abberation what did they to USC.

 

Let's hope for some winnings today.
