    Pittsburgh + 17 (-110) ML (+600) @ Notre Dame

    Go ahead and call me crazy!

    Pitt and Notre Dame always play each other tough regardless of records and rankings.

    Notre Dame's largest victory over Pitt since 1998 was 24-7 back in 2001.

    Notre Dame may be dealing with a hangover since their convincing win over Oklahoma last Saturday.

    Pitt has nothing to lose and Notre Dame must run the table from here on out. (PRESSURE)

    Just some food for thought...

    I wouldn't be surprised if Pitt pulls the major upset, but I'll definitely take the 17 just in case...

    Best of Luck to you all this weekend! Cheers!

    Agreed, I thought there was value in the +17 line as well. Their QB plays shakey on the road, but is a 3 yr starter with 13 TD and only 2 INT and a near 70% comp. He has very solid skill players around him, several of whom are highly regarded NFL prospects RB Graham and WR Street.

    With ND's murderous schedule a letdown is possible especially after that huge Oklahoma win. If Sunseri is throwing well they should put up some decent offensive #'s. Hard to trust Pitt's D, but ND is averaging 28-29 pts a game and at times have sputtered.

    The Panthers have won two of their past three games at Notre Dame.

    I look for Ray Graham to have a big day and the Sunseri to Street connection to continue to click...

    Pitt is starting Joe Trebitz (his 1st career start) at MLB. The Irish will probably run all over Pitt, considering The Irish have 1,011 yards rushing in last 4 games. If ND does not turn the ball over this could be a blowout, Pitt is 1-4 this year when not forcing more then 1 turnover. Pitt also is ranked 90th in sacks allowed TY with 20. After only giving up 15 yards net rushing at Okla. don't think Ray Graham and company will have any luck running the ball. I'll stay off this game, but wish you all luck on your wagers.

    Sunseri is absolute trash and he's going against one of the best defenses in football, they will be lucky to score 7 points...

    Pitts Dominance was during the Charlie Weiss era. I dont see Pitt winning this game straight-up but 17 may have some value
    Definite letdown position but can't see Pitt scoring a ton here and thier Defense is mediocre, not nearly as good as BYU

    The problem with this is that Pitt's strength on offense in the running game and on offense it's there pass defense.

    Notre Dame's strength is stopping the run and running the ball.

    It's just a terrible match-up for Pitt.

    Very good feedback so far, thanks!

    I agree that it looks like a Notre Dame rout on paper, but we all know what that means...

    What's the weather forecast look like, any rain or wind predicted?

    Pitt + the points is a good play, Like shortstop said they always play ND close, public perception couldn't be any higher on N.D right now and 17 is alot of points in that rivalry game. Granted I am Pitt fan and unlike you shortstop a WVU hater, lol, I live dead center between the 2 distance wise. my opinion is probably bias but nonetheless GO PITT !

    Yeah, that would be great if both schools could work something out...

    Love your avatar! One of the best skylines in the world!

    Yes, I live in Pittsburgh.

    Every time I have friends or family visit, I take them through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and their jaws drop.

    Best of Luck to you, buddy!

    Definitely not feeling this. How does he start 3 years at Pitt and have this stat line this year if he is trash?

    275 yards/game 13 tds 2 int

    This team is fairly balanced offensively, and should be more imposing offensively than almost any team ND has faced. ND is a solid D unit and Pitts D is unimpressive. I still take my chances with 17 pts and a team who can score, even a trash TD late for a backdoor cover is OK by me.

    This is a huge game for Pitt, for ND....not soo much.

    Exactly! This is Pitt's game of the year. The only thing Notre Dame has on their radar is Southern Cal...

    I know if that line gets to 17.5 and i need to close a 7 point teaser( my book gives me 7 pts at only -120, and a push isnt a loss), I'm sure as hell takin pitt +24.5, that +600 could also be a sneaky bet, back to back road games for N.D. I could def see Pitt's offense scoring enough to cover, hopefully even pull off the upset. i would love to see the look on Lou Holtz's face afterwards

    If he sux and only has a couple of decent games a year, he has already used up his quota. He already has three 300 yd games without throwing an interception and 3 tds in 2 of those games.

    ND blows up much better teams than Pittsburgh. I'm not taking a side on this one, but I'd be reluctant to lay my money on Pitt. If a team has next to no chance at winning outright as a dog, I don't like them often even with 10-20 points. You're basically betting on them losing but somehow losing but only two TDs instead of 3. I don't like that route. ND could win this 34-10.

    Pitt was my best play. However with the court date pending on their key RB and WR I am having second thoughts.

    How u been Shortstop????

    pitt + 17 is a solid play. Yesterday in the pep rally a player said he doesnt care what anyone says nd is back (total Jinx). Tweets last night at 1 in the morning from players watching batman. Pitt with nothing to lose Nd with everything. Games at home have been extremely close this year.

    Good to know, I'll happily be on the other side of the public/SBR. ND has chewed up and spit out far better teams.
    Pitt the best offense team they've played, umm we only have to go back to last week, OKLAHOMA?
    I could see ND breaking a long run, forcing a turnover, and this being 21-0 quick.
