Florida State Host Duke

can these home dogs keep it close????

[milwaukee mike]

who says pitt will be a home dog?

pitt should be -2

[Big Bear]

i know florida state struggles to score but duke sucks on the road and has trouble with physical teams im guessing this will be a 10 point spread

can FSU hang?

[GoBlue77]

What the hell are u talking about kid? Nobody cares until saturday. Talk about random

[Big Bear]

who says pitt will be a home dog?

pitt should be -2

oh it was just a guess .. you are probably right

u think pitt wins?

[Big Bear]

nah man i gotta plan ahead so im ready to hammer when the lines come out. if i wait til i see the lines the lines can cloud my judgement

[BigDeem5]

Pitt sucks. I've faded em all year about 4-3

[milwaukee mike]

oh it was just a guess .. you are probably right

u think pitt wins?

yes i think pitt wins that one, big east is crazier than usual this year

[Big Bear]

what u guys think about florida state vs duke?

[Phatman36]

FSU is on a slide. Unless Duke is a massive favorite I would say stay away. Plus FSU's lead rebounder or whatever might still be out.

[Chi_archie]

I don't think Pitt will be favored on saturday

[milwaukee mike]

I don't think Pitt will be favored on saturday

why not?

predictor ratings louisville 92.40 pitt 89.71 syracuse 91.00

home court advantage 3.15

why do you think louisville is -6 tonight? difference in predictor ratings + the 3 for home court. this isn't rocket science archie

[Chi_archie]

I think tonight is reflective of the two Louisville players that are out.

blackshear and ware? come on man

ware is a 3 ppg reserve and blackshear is mediocre

[Big Bear]

Is seton Hall against cincy in that 11am game?

[Big Bear]

[Mitchell88]

[Big Bear]

what about purdue a home dog vs indiana wednesday night???

[rm18]

Pitt will be favored

[Chi_archie]

blackshear and ware? come on man

ware is a 3 ppg reserve and blackshear is mediocre

yes, I think it impacted the line. You don't think it did at all? not even a half point?

[milwaukee mike]

Ok i'll give you that archie.

But those 2 clowns are hardly more important to the team than you and i.

? those minutes got to go to even bigger clowns right? and the 17% of the points they provide need to come from somewhere.

what predictor ratings say about the Pitt/Marquette game at Pitt when Pitt was favored by 10.5

what do you see the line being when they play on feb 16th?

[rm18]

Lville was -7 vs. Syracuse Pitt has to be favored

Predictor ratings were right on the number for that pitt/marq game, i pointed out at the time that the computers were biased against marquette because they play up or down to the level of competition.

I see pitt -2 at marquette if they played right now, even though pitt's rpi is low they might be the best unranked team in the country

[Chi_archie]

Pitt's RPI is low?

which site?

[rm18]

go to espn rankings for rpi, but pitt is very high on the pomeroy rankings which are closer to the lines than rpi

[Big Bear]

word

[Chi_archie]

you guys were very very right about Pitt being the Fave and I was wrong

that being said, I'm POUNDING the hell out of the Cuse ML and +3. biggest plays of the year by far

gonna take the winnings and have lots of fun with super bowl props on sunday

the Pete is not that tough of a place to play anymore and Pitt is a nice well rounded team, but they don't have the caliber of players as Syracuse
