    Immortal Fricken DeadBolt..... Louisville @ Pittsburgh

    Big revenge game here for Pitt at home

    they are desperate for a win, after losing 4 straight ACC games. They need a handful of miracle wins vs ranked opponents to have any whiff of a chance at a real post season.

    last game Artis dropped 43 on this team. Pitt made a desperate comeback and just ran out of time as they closed a 26 point deficit down to 5.

    Pitt still has the top two scorers in the entire ACC. Cameron Johnson however, I think is the key to this game. In the last meeting he was 1-10 in a horrible night from the field. He's been hot lately, hitting 5 three pointers in his last game. Louisville will focus on Young and Artis but Jeter and Johnson will be the big scorers today

    Biggest Factor is that starting Guard Quinten Snider will not play in this game. which is HUGE, in the last game Snider had 22 points and 5 assists and was instrumental in breaking the zone defense and full court pressure.

    got the game earlier. But the Pitt Moneyline is still a great play and take the 5.5 for insurance and put it in some parlays.

    I have Louisville winning by 14 points in a 146 point game.

    My non predictive public gauge says Louisville wins by 7 points.

    Snider is out and there is pressure for Pitt to get a win and cover; that seems so obvious in the line and produces value in the Louisville play: that could be Louisville's downfall.

    I'm not going to counter my projection here, but I'm not betting it either. It should be fun to watch and I can see why you have Pitt.

    Good Luck.

    That steam could kill Pitt.

    I missed the tip and would have countered with Louisville. Now it's -8.5 live.

    Good luck with that. All year they have buried themselves 1st half and 2nd half is too far out of reach.

    including parlays. i've got 8.7 units tied up on Pitt full game

    think I'll just make a 9-10 unit wager on Pitt 2nd half and root for Louisville to push this lead to 30+ now

    There's already too much talk about Pitt's comebacks by the announcers.

    This line sucked the bettors towards Pitt.

    In my opinion, at this point, a lot of Pitt live spreads are going to fall.

    We can see the second half line, but Pitt money is in serious trouble. It's almost like this huge deficit is all they have going for them for a second half bet.

    Pitt now -4.

    I'm not biting. Normally I think in terms of a game being two halves and would take a shot at Pitt here, but the could lose by 30 and still not cover the second half.

    I smell a second half push.

    A Pitt -225 2nd half moneyline bet shows ballz, could be the winner.

    Wow! What a blow out in the 1st half! And Louisville without one of their star players too. -5 was easy money! Don't bet against a Rick Pitino team with a scoring 7 footer to boot, vs a weak offense like Pitt. Yeah, they made a comeback in that 1st game, you can bet Lou defense won't let that happen again.

    Who knows. Injuries have been a big issue and I think focus for the young guys is tough. The NBA is a grind. The good news is that they will eclipse their win total from last year and might actually win 30. Baby steps.

    I learned during halftime that you have to keep your hands out of another player's cylinder.

    New rule by the refs.

    They need a rule for that? Is that LGBQTAXYZ friendly?

    Yeah, you're right Archie. I didn't mean weak in a sense overall, Pitt does have a real good scoring team. I was go'in by the numbers for this game, ie... Lou an RPI ranked 7th opponent with a average points allowed at 62.8. Lou a real defensive type of team, all them damn Pitino teams are.

    They aren't going to get close to 30 wins. I liked watching them in November, but ever since then they have been awful. I'm not sure they are making baby steps, it feels like big steps in the wrong direction. Is Brandon Ingram any good? I honestly can't tell. I know a lot of people are hoping they continue tanking. Looks like they might keep that draft pick again.
