Pitt opens -11.5 over Syracuse

[FloridaCuse]

Back up to -11.5 tonight.

Some sites, including ESPN, now have it -10.5. A few at -11 & one still at -11.5.

Really hate I’m thinking this way, but this feels like free money picking Pitt with the points.

1) Small sample set, but bye weeks have not been favorable in the Fran era so far. Two L’s last year.
2) Pitt just seems to have our number and can’t help but think this is a repeat of last year.
3) A Collins led offense couldn’t put up points against SMU or Duke, but I should believe they will against Pitt?

Say vs SMU Collins completes 1 3yd pass and 1 wide open deep pass. Both simple passes. SU scores 30+. Do people view the team differently?

Its like the difference between good golf and great golf is 2-3 more makes of 4ft par putts.

3 keys to victory:

1. Pitt team that played West Virginia has to show up.
2. Have to win the turnover battle.
3. Competent Red zone offense.

All long shots.

Pitt is more physical, faster and has a much better QB.

Other than that, I think we’re in good shape.
