#3 Posted: 12/13/2011 11:47:19 AM I really want to take SMU in this game, but these teams seem to be going in different directions. SMU lost their last 6 ATS, while Pitt has covered their last 5. Pitt has been up and down all year. Hard to tell which team will show up. |

I agree with you, but tell me why...this is what I think...
Pitt players have a big chip on their shoulders have feel jilted by Johny Come Lately Coach Graham...I think the players and fans are pissed...
SMU is without their best RB.
@ SMU - Defense is optional...
I will appreciate your thoughts...thanks |

if yes, then please state why...
if, what you say is true, then you are a moron... |

Smu's real problem has been turnover. If they don't turn the ball over, there's no reason they can't beat this average pittsburgh team. |

good point, but Pitt's D is the best D that SMU will face all season, coach or no coach, and that includes TCU who sucked on D for most of the season...
It hurt SMU to lose Line...I think Pitt has a chip on its shoulders, a different chip than the shame demonstrated by Penn St in the Ticketcity Bowl, where they did not give a half a dam. I was there.
JJ is a sharp guy and he will have his guys ready to play. But, I think Pitt is still very motivated to send the current coaches who stayed out with a W and a big darn You to Fraud Graham...

#22 Posted: 1/6/2012 8:31:17 PM in addition, I believe Pitt was picked by Steele to win the Big East. They have the athletes. They did lose Ray Graham, the outstanding RB, but I think they can replace him. Pitt's QB was pretty good last year. I think he will end the season on a high note against a marginal SMU pass D...
Pitt -3 |

If you are favoring Pitt in this match up from a pure odds standpoint...this is not a good sign.
On the other hand...on paper...Pitt should CRUISE.
The line movement seems counter-intuitive to me |

That's when I take the points..I garduated from Pitt in '76, been real close to this program for decades..the mental makeup of this team and their ability to perform in big games is lacking highly..add in the coaching drama, and as usual the hunger factor.I think the line movement to a degree validates what I am saying. My suggestion - take the points or go U.
