Don't get left behind with this play. Since a surprising 56-55 home loss to UNLV, Louisville has won four in a row (3-1 ATS), going 3-0 SU and ATS to start the Big East season. Pitt snuck into the top spot when they beat Georgetown and both North Carolina and UConn lost. I don't feel this team is deserving of being #1 at this point of the season. Meanwhile, Louisville is looking for its third straight win over a ranked opponent.

The Cardinals are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. However, the Cardinals are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and 6-20-2 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The Panthers on the other hand are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Last but not least is the fact the road team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 match ups.

Even though I don't believe Pitt is deserving of the #1 spot in college hoops I do know that DeJuan Blair, Sam Young, and Levance Fields will prove too much for this Louisville squad.

I don't want to hear crap about the "L" word either, I don't believe in jinxing a play. I had the Cavs as a LOCK last night and that was a winner. Again, don't over think your play...make it and be happy to be on the winning side.
