Give me rutgers at home with the points here.  I was on the stache against uconn, and for 3 quarters, they were not good.  The play calling of the stache is suspect at best, and he usually lets his backers down.  I will not be on that side this time (even though got lucky to get a 2h play against uconn out of them).  Rutgers plus 3.5

Rutgers had a slow start to the season but is looking like they are on all cylinders now.  Taking Rutgers in a big win.

Pit won against  Youngstown,  Buffalo,Navy,Louisville and U-Conn.Lost to NCST.

Pitt is the better team......more physical by far......have played a much tougher schedule.......Cincy exposed this team in the first game of the year and I pounded Cincy while most people still thought this was the Rutgers team of the last few years.  It isn't.

Pitt maybe better but they are very inconsistent thoughout their games so far.  they played a so so first half against louisville and they were sleepwalking during the 3rd qtr against uconn.  I like them but they kinda scare me

Pitt,scare u? You would have to be a zombie not to be scared by the Stach!  He can lose any game anytime anywhere with some of the best talent in the nation. He gets Paterno quality players or better everyyear and fucks it up. That's the Pitt conudurum....they can also beat anybody anywhere,anytime.  go figure.  Pitt defines gambling.

i really think that rutgers is starting to click and playing very well at home...their one loss is to what everyone is starting to believe is very good cincy team, similar to boise st(thatd be a nice bcs game to see)....i like rutgers to win this game outright but i only bet spreads so +3 it is....any O/U thoughts here???

Pitt is 0-4 vs Rutgers in the Wannstedt era.   Schiano definitely outcoaches him.   Only question is whether his young team has grown up enough to execute.  I think they may have, leaning Rut + 3.5 but not sure yet.

NO way I could back the stache on the road, giving points...their play calling and the way the team plays (hot/cold) is something else...Rutgers plus the points it is for me

Can ANYONE please tell me WHY the line has moved from Rutgers+3 to Rutgers+5.5 pts???? I can't find an explanation anywhere. Are the public betting that heavy on Pitt that it moved the line that much??? I like The Rut in this one and am glad to get more pts but would like to know if someone is OUT, or whatever the reason for the hugh swing in the line is.

The Line Movement is due to the fact that Pitts is a more run oriented team. The weather for the game is rain and Windy . Rugters offense rely more on the passing game. That is what I think. Bad Weather is the reason..

Both teams are very overrated...thats why u will see most of the public on rutgers on some sites and most of the public on pitt on other sites..which means its definitely not one sided which the casinos LOVE(two-way action)..the opening line came out on tuesday favoring PITT -3 with the total at 48.5.......right now the spread is steady holding at PITT -5.5 with the total at 45.5.......
Rutgers has had Pitt's number the last 3 years....and plays at home tomorrow...however outside of Cinncinati .....Rutgers has played a week schedule against Howard....FIU.....Maryland.....and Teaxs Southern.....im just not sold on RUTGERS.....im not sold on PITT either....the main reason is their coach is dumb as they come....but PITT does have some GOOD DEFENSE....and with the rainy weather PITT should have better field position during the game....im buying PITT down to -3 / under 48

next game might be the easier.  I would bet against the Stach in the USF game, this one might be one of those "Stach fucked me" games...

70% chance of Rain, and 12-17 Gusty Wind. What do you guys think about the 45.5 O/U? maybe parlay with Minn?
