    3 of em.

    1. pitt has almost no HFA. might be a little better since they are selling alcohol at games now and its a thursday nite game.

    2. pitt just gave away 2 games, might be on shaky ground mentally.

    3. usf feels like a fraud to me. have 1 win at notre dame in a game they were badly outstatted in and all of the sudden they are a top 20 team when little was expected from them to start the year. im looking to fade them not sure this is the spot but i would lean to pitt right now.

    since its a thursday game, the public will be heavily involved, so if you like usf bet now and if you like pitt id advise you to wait, cuz no doubt they will be on south florida.

    I agree with Trinity.

    USF is somewhat of a fraud. I have no idea how/why they are ranked in the top 20.

    I love Pitt in this spot.

    Pitt is not selling alcohol at games, must be thinking of WVU. You would think a Thursday night game might bring a better crowd, but over half the Pitt fans there just complain and boo anyways so I wouldn't give them any type of home field advantage.

    This line is also USF -3 by the way, it may have opened at Pitt -2.5, but it was not there for very long.

    Pitt doesn't know how to finish games. New coach, still in the process of learning a new system. For what it's worth, they lost to ND, USF made ND look like horrible. USF should cover -2.5 or -3. They should win by 10 or more pts.

    They've been playing good, looking to turn the tables on Pit, & win the Big East.

    I'm thinking about this as a teaser. They opened at -2.5, moved to -3, and now they're at -2. I'm liking -2. A teaser with Houston sounds great as well.

    Pitts Defense was really good for the first half in the ND game. Really want to lean towards Pitts.

    USF Offense is way more dynamic than ND. Daniels is a way better QB than Rees of ND. Pitt gives up 24ppg, 306 passing ypg and 105 rushing ypg.
