I have a feeling Pitt is going to get beat badly today

I was in Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday and 2 different sportsbooks had the line 6.5. Again you don't know what you are talking about as usual. But in your mind, you are Knute Rockne in the 21st century. Joe knows all and everyone else is just a peon in your world.


Which books? Because you will notice that the link that I provided "only" lists 15 different places, and none of them had the game at 6.5 on Wednesday or Thursday. So where was it, exactly.
 
Game day showed 4. Yesterday I saw I think 3 1/2. Maybe it is 5 now but I'd be pretty shocked if it went higher than that. The more money on Miami would bode well for Pitt though. H2P!
 
In fact I'd go so far as to say that if anyone did have it at 6.5 when everyone else had it at 3 or 3-1/2 that the people running those places were negligent.
 
Wrong, 6.5. Try again.

That 6.5 is a fictional number. Vegas Insider technically uses the first number "sent" to them, which is almost always CG Tech. Just because it's sent doesn't mean it's available for betting. I know this for a fact as I was sitting in one of CG's books last Sunday and that 6.5 was never up on their board.

The first place that actually had a betting number on the board was the Wynn (as usual) and they opened at Miami -4.
 
We are about equal, according to the line, added home field advantage in for Miami.

I don't see how we stop them today, maybe and hopefully I am wrong, Miami wins by 10
 
Miami has almost always given us fits because of their speed and today should be no exception. Sure we might score 30 points (maybe) but I can easily see Miami beating us by 20 or more. Our defense is terrible and they have some fast fast players.

Hope I'm wrong but that's what I am expecting. Anything different would be a nice surprise.
Thanks for another typical gloom and doom weigh in..... Jesus H Christ go take a nap or something
 
He loves using irrelevant past information like this to say Pitt sucks and is destined for present and future failures. By that same logic, Pitt claims 9 national championships and Miami claims 5. So Pitt should dominate right?

Miami is favored by 6.5 and should win. But using stats from the dark ages of Pitt football in the 80's and especially 90's (versus the golden era for Miami) isn't really useful in predicting today's game.

How is our last 20 games with Miami "irrelevant"? DO you know what irrelevant means? It does not mean "statistic or fact that one does not like because it is not favorable to my rooting interests". You know it doesn't mean this, right? And how the last 20 meetings with an opponent can be "irrelevant" like Pitt's National titles in the 19 teens, as some sort of comparison.

Dude, don't argue much. You aren't good at it.

Only thing that gives us a chance is they have a bad offensive line.

Yes, they are also dealing with a few key injuries. We need to recruit SPEED SPEED SPEED , cause under their new and old coach, they will get better each year. The ACC as a whole is going to get better

Jesus you're starting already? God I am glad I am not you. Hope we win and glad you aren't part of any pre-game speech to the team

Wow you are not too sharp. What do games from the 80's, 90's, and 00's have to do with whether Pitt wins today? Miami was at it's all time peak and Pitt was at its worst lows for most of those games. This is not the "U" from 30 for 30 genius. And this Pitt is not Johny Majors part two.

The teams RIGHT NOW are fairly even.

Just hard to believe you could be so dense?

Cmon man you know that's not true. I live here and am in a small way still involved in the industry, and not one place in town had 6.5 or even close to that.

No harm though, next time you're in town let me know, I'll buy you a beer. I'm no Poker hater.

I agree I think it's just a bad matchup and the first series just proved the Dbacks learned nothing the last 9 days never even looked back for the ball. Kaya will eat this defense alive.

Now now, at least the Pitt offense has been able to keep up all year. I don't see a blowout at least, not saying I see a W though
 
We are slow as hell, and if recruiting doesn't pick up, coastal is getting better, we are going to be in trouble
 
A lot of people owe Poker an apology. What he said wasn't what people wanted to hear but he was spot on!
Thanks Del. You could see this blowout coming a mile away. Awful pass defense and no pass rush against a team that has speed speed speed was going to = a long afternoon. But the kool-aid drinkers on here don't want to accept reality. You and I and a few others do.

Oh but if Pitt had won believe me, all the dicks on here would be on this thread right now calling me out. Typical for this board.

I do have to add it was some luck. There's no way you could know that weah would drop a TD that would've totally changed the game.

But doesnt change the fact you knew what you were talking about. So kudos for calling it how it ended up. As much I hated watching that game lol.

This might sound a little corny but honestly, as a lifelong Pitt fan and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each team plus the history: I was very confident Pitt would get blown out. I felt that way all week.

Exactly what I meant. I like our offense usually, I think if weah catches that easy pass, who knows what happens.

But also it wasn't like you just thought Pitt sucked and would get killed. You legitimately thought Miami was a bad matchup for us, and they were. Because really, that is not a good Miami team. I didn't want to think we could lose to a mediocre team like that, but you knew it was coming. And right you were.

Yup. I get it that folks want to have a positive attitude and belief that Pitt is turning the corner. However just watching this team anyone with half a brain can see that Pitt is not turning anything but stomachs.
