    I see good value in Uconn. Same reason 3 other college dogs covered this week. Reverse line movement. Pitt is in a prime let down spot and then 90% on Pitt and the line hasn't budged. Uconn will have every shot to win SU.

        I'm not decided yet. But the majority tried to tell me that BG and Miami OH were not the play as well. 90% on Pitt and the line just dropped to -3. Just saying be careful, smart and sharp money as of now is on uconn

          the way i see it, if i were to bet. pitt still has a chance for a bowl game, and needs to win two more games. Pit needs this one, but on the road. Uconn is basically out, they have to play cincy and lousville yet, but you never know. i can wait til saturday.

            Short week on the road having to bounce back from the most devastating loss in recent memory for that program. They have to have this game though. They should win it, but it'll prob be a dog fight.

                      Thought the Irish were going to destroy Pitt, but they showed me some talent, and just got snake bit which leaves a bad taste in 'em. Pitt just ought to come out and destroy UConn, which is the natural obvious outcome, to rid that bad taste in 'em. In the last 4 games, Pitt has scored 128 points ... UConn 33. Pitt put up 26 on the best defense around, which Navy, MI ST, MI, MIA FL, Stan, BYU & OK had not scored more than 14 in a game this year vs. ND. And while playing in beautiful Florida against USF, UConn only mustered 6 points in a game, which is a team that had been given up 30 points each week. How do you only score 6 in a 60 minute game against USF ... in Florida?

                      You can forsee some let down coming from Pitt, and factor that in, along with the odds seemingly going the opposite direction of the public's action. Yet the reason UConn is winnless in the Big East, is because they lose at home to a team like Temple. Temple being a team that 2 weeks later gets waxed by Pitt 47-17. You can see Pitt giving UConn 7 in this one, can't you?

                      Giving 3 is the obvious play, especially where Pitt last week got the experience of playing in a big nationally televised game, and it being a nationally televised spotlight game ... sole contest on your Friday Night. Just don't see how UConn is going to stop Pitt, do you?

                          If you've seen UConn play this year, this is nothing smart about putting your money behind them.

                                I dont see a let down for Pitt. They weren't in the hunt for BCS last week with their loss to ND. I think that loss motivates this team and gives them confidence. I don't care that the line dropped. Tight game in first half but Pitt wins going away in 2nd half.

                                  All I meant was some people call it smart money some call it sharp. Was just covering both. You're "lol" was a very insightful response and I'm sure it brought valuable info to this thread.

                                      Can't blame you one bit. I'm on Uconn +3.5 but like I said I can't blame anyone for taking Pitt

                                        Pitt is very inconsistent, but they are the better team and they still have something to play for. Pitt or no play.

                                          You are going to lose bro...UCONN will not be able to stop the PITT running game and Sunseri has played brilliant the last few weeks. Good luck tho.

                                              I like UConn. I like how 90% of the public is on Pitt. I think I might end up doing a small 7 point teaser on UConn +3.5 and the under.

                                                You win some and you lose some. The key is winning more than you lose haha, which this year has been great. When I find a line that is fishy (like this one) and then the pub is taking the bait ill test my luck and go against it in these weekday games. GL to you as well

                                                    Pathetic UConn blowing out Pitt as if they've fixed the game. No other possibility for this travesty. Total flop by Pitt because, as always, money is what's important, and not the meaningless outcome of a ball game.

                                                      You'd think they'd make it less obvious than that

                                                        Sometimes, except in these cases, when it's the whole team collectively, only one person you can look at ... the coach. No chance you virtually & argueably beat the best team last week, while UConn is dominated by one of the worst teams, that your team will then be dominated by UConn. Unless, your coach is being bribed by the mob.

                                                        All the talk about how 90% on Pitt, but the line is going lower for Pitt. If you got 90% betting $100, and one syndicate beting 1 million, then that would easily explain why the line opens so low, and then continues lower. Though you got House flushing a G-Note on this sham. The line was an easy Pitt at at least -8 to open. Opens at -3 instead. These linemakers go by the money, not the meaningless outcomes. When a team is suppose to be at like-8, and is only at -3, what's the problem?

                                                        Lord knows if I was Pitt's coach, I'd be praising my team for last week, and helping them to learn even more this week from their prior mistakes. We'd be preparing a strategy to just unload on UConn, and we'd be prepared from the opening kickoff. No chance UConn goes right down the field on their first possession, while Pitt goes 3 and out, and then 24 to zip at half, unless the fix is in. Heavy money was dropped on UConn, the line was set to get any sane John Q. Public like myself and House et al 90% to back Pitt minus the tray, as the coach and his team collectively lay down. And so what, it's just a meaningless game. Meanwhile, the 1%'ers and your local Bookmaker set up the road where the 99% take their money from their pockets, and freely deposit it into the pockets of the goodfellas.

                                                        I sure do thank SBR for letting me lose all my points, instead of cash, as I witness how ignorant the 99% like myself are. Just woeful when you're watching a team sport like this that is the only NCAAF game in a spotlight prime time nationally televised event, and the team that should be at at least like -250, is at -160, and they come out and do absolutely nothing. Though their bodies and uniforms are there, you can easily see that their minds and spirits are not in this game. Just watch UConn's opening drive all the way to the TD pass, and then watch Pitt's opening 3 & out. Pitt isn't up for this game playing to win, prepared to win, ready to win. Why on Earth would a coach and college team of boys intentionally not want to win and play their butts off? Money and mob? Or, mob and money?

However, with the line movement or lack there of even though 88% was on Pitt along with a short week off an emotional lost it was pretty evident Uconn was the right side. Win or Lose the side was Uconn which I said since the beginning. Hate that anyone had to lose and hope everyone gets it back tomorrow. BOL
