Vegas line for Pitt

[Ish88888]

Another strange thing is that Narduzzi is supposed to be a defensive guru and yet his team is getting shredded week after week.

Great point. Our games have been a rock fight some years except, of course, that hoops score in 2016, lol .

We will move the ball on Pitt clearly Vegas thinks we will turn the ball over.
That is Pitt’s only chance.
Robinson knocked the Pitt QB out for the season last year.
Our DL will get pressure. Just need the LBs/safeties to make some plays on run D.

 

[Ish88888]

not to pick on you, but I don't understand this sentiment. What have we seen to think we could lose this game? Pitt's D is horrid and we've scored at will on bad defenses. Hell, we scored on the greatest defensive line in the history of histories, according to some. And our d is playing very well. Stop sitting on the fence and jump to the "This is a game we should and will win". Also, bet Cuse. Easily.

I think vegas and fans, bettors that really have broken down our games realize that we didn't move the ball agsinst the Clemson D and that Dline. We barely eclipsed 300 yds, were 3-15 on 3rd down conversions, had 70 yds rushing. On the other side, they gashed our D and ran at will while our lbs were out of position most of the day. Yes. I love our dline play and we competed well. But the stars aligned last week at Clemson...new starter, week of drama, qb knocked out anf a kid wearing a vest, cap, headphones, and clipboard was in! , the turnovers . Yes, we almost stole one but also, first downs were 28-12. Vegas and intelligent $$$ knows all of this...

Does Vegas have any thoughts on the difference between Clemson's defense and Pitt's defense? It doesn't seem so.

Excellent points but as orange79 says above what about Pitt? The fact we didn't move the ball a lot on CU is not really much of an indictment as most of the other ACC teams won't move the ball on them either.

Lol, of course . Just think that this is a chance at letdown and pitt will be really up for us. Our offense is still searching a bit but hopefully we figure it out and play with rhythm.

 

[skurey]

We've covered every game this year and covered Clemson by 20.

Vegas doesn't know. It's not their fault.

All well and good, but none of that is any indication that we could lose to Pitt.

 

[sdhall01]

This game is keeping me awake at night. It's stupid, but I'm conditioned to think we're going to lose at Pitt in Pittsburgh.

 

[texascpa]

Pitt has lost their last two games by more than 30 points each. We were on the edge of playoff talk. Who's to say we're not up for this and Pitt has given up? Cmon folks, your eyes should be telling you something different than your head is telling you. This team is not going to fall of the cliff like it did the last two years.

 

[Ish88888]

I get that, some were arguing that our offense has moved the ball at will against any defense and that our D is playing well. Not entirely the case...

There may be some truth to that. Our effeciency numbers still lag a bit. We’ve played 4 crappy teams and 1 elite team.

Didn't we push vs. UConn?

I saw somewhere had it close at 30.5.

I thought it opened at 'Cuse -27 and closed at 'Cuse -30, but I may be misremembering that.

It technically closed at -30.5 for a “loss”ATS. but it’s nitpicking

In this, like all things, ESPN does a terrible job of reporting accurate information.

There are so many books with different lines, there really isn’t a right answer. Whatever book espn uses probably had -29 as the final line.

You've gotta figure that ESPN would want to use some sort of aggregate.

Yeah. Vegas insider has a “consensus” line always that acts like an aggregate. That closed at -30.5

I'll have to check that out!

 

[skurey]

OK so we might win by only half a point less than the spread.

Get out of here nits.

 

[AgentOrange]

The line dropping to -4 is actually a good thing. The experts set the opening line at SU -6, which was chosen to try to get even action on both teams. When the line dropped to -4, it was because the early money was on SU to cover.

The line dropping isn’t indicative of $ on SU, it’s indicitave of $ on Pitt. Down to -3.5.

We are 1-7 on the road in the ACC under Dino. Some tough games in there but still.

So, how does someone living in Texas bet on this game. Sorry, but this is easy money on Cuse at that line.
