Close to what I expected. Assume the line will drop to around -6 closer to Saturday.
Pitt's secondary needs to be a lot better next week. The offense shouldn't have much trouble moving the ball.

Attack the QB all day long. Our Dline should dominate this game.
Vegas know Ok St. actually won yesterday. That was honestly one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of. Hopefully though it killed their spirits and doesn't just make them more focused for this game. Although win or lose I don't think Pitt will suffer the "letdown" teams do sometimes after a big win. I think they will be as ready as they were for the game yesterday.
Both the regular and replay refs were given 2 game suspensions after the end of game mishaps in the Okla St game yesterday.
You should be able to appeal the game like they do in baseball if the officials do apply the rules correctly. The play never should have happened, and one of the 8 guys in the crew should have said something.
I said it before and i will say it again. i don't care how good a Big 12 offense is, because they put up all those yards and points up again Big 12 defenses. In other words they never play a good let a lone great defense. Not saying we are a great defense, but we are a good defense. Not saying the Ok St game is a Pitt win, but Pitt is going to put up their points. I see this being a 5 points or less game. I think -7 is tempting, but i don't gamble anymore.
"Vegas know Ok St. actually won yesterday"......vegas does not give two hoots on whether they won or not, vegas speculates on those who wager (those are the folks who perceived osu won)...
If any of the Oklahoma State coaches actually knew the rule they could have tried to convince the refs that they were wrong or tried to get the refs to call up to the booth to get the call changed. Part of the problem from an Oklahoma State point of view was that none of the refs and the replay guys either knew the rule or if they did they didn't speak up at the time, but none of the Oklahoma State coaches knew to call them on their error when it happened.
