    What's up with the line move on Pitt/Rutgers?
    Am I in for a bad Friday night for taking Rutgers +3 on Tuesday? It's +5.5 right now.

    why you would take Rutgers when they've played one real team all year and got embarrassed by them is odd....but yeah losing out on 2.5 points is rough. Obviously I'm on Pitt, but I'm 0-2 so far on the week so you might be looking pretty good.

            Neither team plays much defense, especially Rutgers. I really like the over, but I am a bit concerned about the weather. 40s and rainy forecast.

                      One thing I have learned since WanStick took over.

                      You can NEVER COUNT on PITT to COVER ANYTHING.

                      Just some FYI.

                          I'm thinkin of teasing Rutgers and the under.. Just to give me a little cushion.. It should be a tight low scoring game, especially with the weather. Or is that a stupid play?

                                The problem is Rutgers havent played anybody, and when they did on their 1st game they got blown out.

                                But Rutgers have had Dave's # for a long time now?

                                Should be a close game

                                      When games have such small Spreads the winner will either cover the spread or the dog will win outright. Do your capping, pick the winning team and ignore the spread. How many games this season have been decided by less than 4 points with the dog covering a spread less than 6 points? Not many if any at all.

                                                    Dr. Bob almost always moves the line. Just check the lines between 5:45 and 6:00 ET on Thursday evenings.

                                                      He has 2* best bet at -3-120 or better and a strong op. up to -4. Some other movers (bw?, edward?, etc...)must have really liked it also because his plays don't move that much anymore and the market usually rejects them bouncing them back to near his line.

                                                        11-10-1. He has 9 bb and 6 strong opinions. Don't remember him ever having that many in one week.

                                                        Also saw Brandon Lang is on Rutgers so Pitt wins by 5 td's.

                                                          It was nine. I laid nine.

                                                          - It was eight.



                                                          Ace, tell him the line
                                                          on the Bear game.



                                                          - Eight.
                                                          - If he don't know, nobody knows.



                                                          - Told you it was eight.
                                                          - How come I laid nine?



                                                          'Cause you're a jag-off.

                                                            The line has been going up for two days now. You can find anything between 4.5 and 6 in Vegas.

                                                                  He has NO killer instinct............He runs the ****ING CLOCK..........He calls BAD plays.........He RUNS THE ****ING CLOCK..........He is a shit coach and I have a REALLY big problem taking PITT - ANYTHING.

                                                                  NFL Coach = Vegas Puppet.
