Southpoint posted the first numbers for games of the year in Las Vegas today.
Seems a little high to me, expected it to come out around 16 or so.

If one didn't really follow closely, Pitt's pass defense was absolutely a sieve and the way McSorley played the last qtr and the rest of the season I can see why the line of -19 would appear to be made. I think offensively we will be almost as good and I have to believe in year 3 that our defense should really show some really good improvement. You do realize that Franklin would like to score 100 points and still keep trying to embarrass Pitt.Absurd

I worry about our QB but he was a 5 star. I think our RB by committee will be good. Our OL is questionable. I do think our defense will be much improved. So we may not score as much but I don't think we let other teams score as much like last year. So to me -19 seems high. But in a rivalry game crazy things can happen and often do.I disagree about your offensive thought. Our QB will be a downgrade this year. Our Running game will be a downgrade this year. Our TE will be a downgrade this year. Our OL will be a downgrade this year. Our OC will be a downgrade this year. Vegas seems to agree with me. I do believe the line will come down some, but will still be a double digit number come game time.
Our OL is questionable.
As a penn state fan that line is way too high. Have to imagine it has to do with Booksers suspension and I believe u lost a dlinemen to injury? If you want to make some more easy money they have Michigan +14 vs PSU.
Commend you guys on playing such a tough out of conference schedule. 8 wins would be very impressive with that schedule.It will change after YSU and AKRON, but Pitt at Beaver with all PSU back and QB & RB in Top Ten if not Top Five so early, it is a good number and Coach Narduzzi & Staff won't have Taleni and maybe Bookser. Until we see August Depth Charts and Starters it is going to be huge challenge and not just in 2017 but 2018 as well. Same with OKST too.
Penn State has a tougher schedule in 2017 as well. Ohio State, MSU and Michigan are givens every year. But add in Iowa, NWU, Nebraska, and I think Maryland will be a tougher game. Go 11-2 in 2017 and Win B1G, you make the CFB Playoffs!Commend you guys on playing such a tough out of conference schedule. 8 wins would be very impressive with that schedule.

All may be true hopefully...but doubtful totally true in game 2 with nothing but a 1-AA warm up.Max Browne may be better than Peterman
Conner was 60% for the PSU game (his words) last season and a 60% Conner is no better than what we have at RB.
Chris Clark was a 5-star, could be better than Orndoff
Not much of a drop from Biz to JJS I dont think
Officer, Bookser (hopefully), O'Neill back
Qadree back
Aston back
I think the offense can be as good.
I still have Pitt winning this game because James Franklin is a used car salesman and will never have PSU above 7/8 wins.This is a sucker's bet. Idiots will see PSU ranked #3 or whatever, see Pitt isn't ranked, see the game is at PSU and based on that figure it should be an easy blowout.
As I said before, the average Joe (who makes up most of the gambling market) isn't going to do the homework to realize Pitt and PSU are pretty even and they certainly aren't going to factor the rivalry in.
I honestly would have said PSU -7 and I'm really good at predicting lines. This is way way too high. Pitt could win the game outright and in fact, I expect them to. If they lose this game, it will NOT be because PSU was supremely talented.
That's right in line with what some of my nit acquaintances are spouting to me. Things like how bad of an ass beating Pitt is in line for. I just tell them to keep talking and we'll see.Southpoint posted the first numbers for games of the year in Las Vegas today.

We have nothing to lose then, and all the pressure lies on them. Let them keep pounding their chests.That's right in line with what some of my nit acquaintances are spouting to me. Things like how bad of an ass beating Pitt is in line for. I just tell them to keep talking and we'll see.
