is the PITT line fishy?

swilldoggy420 · 03-12-09, 02:58 PM

I like Pitt too but line is surely fishy....I think it like the laker/rocket game last nite where they were trying to sucker people into taking Houston, but LA covered easily. They're probably trying to sucker us into taking WV by making the line SEEM to good to be true. I'll be at the game tonight and look forward to watching PITT win me some money first hand.

I'm just a rook, so don't take my word....just my opinion.

BOL

Fiasco · 03-12-09, 02:59 PM

yes it is fishy

and swill, they aren't trying to sucker people into taking wv... that is paranoia talking

pitt my win but remember this is tournament time, close games are the norm

sallysnax8 · 03-12-09, 03:00 PM

i'll take -4.5 all day long....it does seem fishy as well as uconn -5....but i'll take them both......

seaborneq · 03-12-09, 03:03 PM

stinky fishy, but I am still on it.

tblueeyes · 03-12-09, 03:06 PM

on it as well!

swilldoggy420 · 03-12-09, 03:07 PM

you SMOKIN HOTT Fiasco!

unde0087 · 03-12-09, 03:08 PM

why is it fishy? WV plays like they did last night they will give Pitt all they can handle. Lets not forget this the part where Pittsburgh falls straight on its face, it is tournament time

Jesse Black · 03-12-09, 03:11 PM

The line was pk at West Virg., and 8-8.5 at Pitt. So 4 at a neutral site is about right.
Pitt won both of those games, sweeping a team is difficult. Pitt is looking for a one seed in the tourney, and is well rested, so I am on them with you guys. Good luck to us!

swilldoggy420 · 03-12-09, 03:14 PM

look at the history, Unde...Pitt has won or been in the BE finals like 6 of the past 7 years and this is their best team IMHO.....fall on their face??? lol

rubber_man007 · 03-12-09, 03:17 PM

I am on pitt also...this looks really fishy but I think that west virginia has no chance...also like uconn

actually that statement is incredibly wrong..... and makes you look like you don't follow basketball outside of the ACC verymuch....

go look up how Pitt has done in the BE tourney that last 8 years, since they got good coaching....

they do suck in the big tourney where it counts, but if anything they play way better then normal come be tourney time..

that being said, I think WVU has a good shot at winninig straight up.... they are very pumped for this game..and they have 2 games worth of head-head film to get a good game plan together....

if they hit their shots, they can win this easily

swilldoggy420 · 03-12-09, 03:34 PM

Word...Chi Archie!

Chi_archie · 03-12-09, 03:49 PM

I don't wanna look it up right now....

but what is it? Pitt been in championship 7 of the past 8 years?

if anything I wish they would lose early in the BE tourney...so they can rest regroup before the big dance...

these games are draining..... look at the cuse/s.hall game last night... that took alot of emotion...

Show me where Pittsburgh has gone anywhere in a NCAA tournament for the past several years and then I will say I am wrong.

Chi_archie · 03-12-09, 04:21 PM

did you read the statement?

I said you are wrong....because it is BE tourney time....

if you can show me a calender and it says it is march 19 I will agree with you

otherwise you are wrong and don't know anything about the big east tourney....

read the bold VERY slowly

unde0087 · 03-12-09, 04:34 PM

Wow, you going to be okay Archie? I made a statement relating Pitt to the tournament, didn't mean to insult the greatness of Pitt in the Big East tournament.

ryanXL977 · 03-12-09, 04:35 PM

charlie, how can you say with a straight face you arent a BE homer. and unde is an ACC homer
im just trying to help even it out

Iwinyourmoney · 03-12-09, 04:38 PM

It is way fishy to me, but Im still riding pitt. Even if something fishy is going on, this could be a great gift

The General · 03-12-09, 04:39 PM

I'm thinking of making it a 2 unit play.

sweetpete57@ · 03-12-09, 04:40 PM

I'm playing it safe with the ML -190. You never know about these conf. tourney games, but I can't see Pitt losing SU

Chi_archie · 03-12-09, 04:42 PM

Unde... you gave out false info...
you basically said, that WVU might be a good bet, because "hey Pitt always loses this time of year"

but that is incredibly wrong...its ok to be wrong.... I just needed to correct it... you are a week too early pal

people might base their picks on false info like pitt is bad in the dance thus they MUST be bad in the Big East Tourney....

that is what you just did, you assumed without knowing how Pitt does in the B.E tourney...

I corrected things..... doesn't matter who they are..... or who says it... I hate when people throw false facts/statements/assessments around without thinking and/or checking their facts.

If there were only about 100 more of me on this forum, we'd all be winners...

ryanXL977 · 03-12-09, 04:46 PM

that is true, pitt does well in this tourney and ive bet them for years and years here. its the real tourney when they fall apart
i remember how much money melo made me at cuse 5 yrs ago, and that little white mick made me cash too

KANSAS24 · 03-12-09, 04:46 PM

go with them till they lose!!!!!!

Archie, I watch the Big East tourney every year, I know Pitt does well in the tournament, my comment was directed to the NCAA tournament.

So if you correct everything and get facts right then why do you start false threads like "UNC overrated". Pretty stupid to start a thread like that when they lose a rivalry game in overtime after winning 10 straight games. Might want to check your research again on that one. #1 team now, and #1 overall seed right now, apparantly no one with votes agree.

so by that statement you were not saying that Pitt could lose and fall on their face tonight?

Even Ryan that guy that hates to be wrong more then anyone on this board admitted I was right about the UNC being over-rated finally...

and if you don't think so.... let me take 100 bucks of your action on the UNC odds to win at all at the preseason prices...100 on the dec 1 price and 100 on the jan 1 price

ryanXL977 · 03-12-09, 05:02 PM

no, i didnt say that unc is overrated.

i dont care what youre reading or who is telling you they are better than they are. i go off what i see. you go off your biases, thats clear because you have now posted 1090 threads saying how overrated various ACC teams are.

its the stupidest topic ever. we will find out next week, why do you want to waste time debating something that will be proven soon enough.

i dont understand, are you having a bad day or something? is there a big need for you to attack me? do you find i go to threads attacking you? this is the third time in the last 72 hrs youve taken a shot at me dude. i dont know why youre trying to provoke me, but, for the third time, i wont reply by attacking you. have a nice day and think before you speak.

first of all i've never said they weren't the # 1 team... you can be #1 AND over-rated.... right now I think the media/public may actually be over-rating the Big East and other "large" teams.

2nd of all.... here is another very false statement..go back and learn somthing about rankings (they don't matter anyways really)

more AP voters think UNC is NOT the #1 overall team actually....

stop being so wrong all the time... you keep me too busy

MykeTison · 03-12-09, 05:11 PM

ill invest in vegas on this one. with 90% on pitt, ill fade the public.
wva +4.5

sorry if I kept you from starting up another Big East thread, I will stop can't wait to see the next one. Everyone, God has returned to earth

ryanXL977 · 03-12-09, 05:24 PM

pretty much what i said about 3 mins ago in another thread. considering that i hate to be wrong, as he says, he sure seems intent upon spamming the board every single time a top 5 acc team loses.
its just weird, for a guy who doesnt seem to care for either conference

oh well. live and learn i guess.

Chi_archie · 03-12-09, 05:38 PM

ah.... another guy with hurt feelings....

seriously guys, if you can't put up with a little bit of shit and schtick and ribbing.....why would you come onto this forum, this is all we do here....

ryanXL977 · 03-12-09, 05:40 PM

i was on this forum for a while before you dude, im aware of how it works. you were out of line. maybe you dont want to be wrong either. not sure who enjoys being wrong btw.

Slim · 03-12-09, 05:40 PM

Pitt doesn't need to win to get in. Sort of like Butler the other night.
