Pitt -7.5 at Syracuse?

[JD1976]

Seems a little rich to me but what are others thoughts?

 

[Pittnerski]

Can Capel screw this up?

 

[FireballZ]

I mean, Syracuse is dreadful. Two weeks ago this would have been 12-14.

Way too high. Hate to say this but I'm picking Syracuse. I dont think we can stop Starling. However, Syracuse can't defend. 17th in the ACC in team defense. And they can't shoot. 16th in the ACC in 3 point percentage. I just have a bad feeling about this game. We haven't played well up there in recent years.

Yeah, you are right. We’ve lost a whole 1 in a row there.

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Yeah, you are right. We’ve lost a whole 1 in a row there.

We've lost 6 of 8 and 1 of those wins was that weekday afternoon at the same time as the insurrection with no crowd. That's an easier game to win up there.

 

[caleco's]

Zero faith in this team and coach. I worry this will be a dog fight.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Yeah, you are right. We’ve lost a whole 1 in a row there.

Yeah, but before that win they had beaten us one time in a row since our previous win.

 

[Sam Young 23]

Pitt wins this game. Had a week to get right.

So you like picking teams that can’t shoot & can’t defend?

 

[SteelBowl70]

Syracuse got their best player back and played better at Clemson
Pitt can’t afford another dreadful start like every other ACC game to date

Starling?

He's been back for all 6 of their January games. That's no excuse for Pitt to not win this game comfortably.

I think we have trailed by 9 or more in the 1st Half of every single ACC game, which is almost an impossible thing to do given our schedule.

 

[PittEngineer]

FYI - it’s up to -8.5 now (15 minutes before tipoff)

 

[Bethlehemjohn]

Neither is correct.

Sterling has been back for about 6 games and Cuse was horrible at Clemson. Down 19 at half and up to 23 until Clemson called off the dogs. Syracuse scored the last few points to close to 14. It was typically a 20 point game.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

From watching the first half, Pitt will be very lucky to pull off a win of any kind against a bad team. If you can't play defense or rebound while lacking player and ball movement on offense, you'll lose 9 out of 10 times.

 

[PittPanther44]

I parlayed it with the under and had a nice little pay aht.

(And a win. Not that I didn’t think we would win, but figured did have faith that we would put 40 min of ball together)

 

[Atilla Cosby]

Seems a little rich to me but what are others thoughts?

Pre game I thought it was a gimme for Cuse, which turned out to be true. I did expect pitt to win, but not cover.

I don't see any lines posted for UNC yet.

 

[PittPharm2002]

Decided to try to break the streak by betting cuse +5.5 halfway through the first half .
Win win

That's how it's done.
