I also like WVU here.  Would prefer -3 over -3.5, but then it'll prolly climb higher anyway.  Backyard brawl for a half, with WVU pulling away 2nd half, similar to the LOU game.

This is the biggest revenge game of the year. Pitt came to WV as a 28.5 dog last year and beat WV keeping them out of the BCS Championship game  I am a WV fan and have waited all year to see WV beat the shit out of Pitt. There are alot of senior's on this WV team (Pat White one of them) that will do their best to beat Pitt into the ground. There has never been any love loss between these two but this year it is at a level that goes beyond hate.
The only thing I don't like is it is going to be played at Heinz field which will probably have brand new sod on it and that hurt's the WV speed running game,they are much better on turf. I think WV will bring everything they have to this game and I hope the team that beat the holy shit out of the Oklahoma lats year is the one that shows up. I am betting on it,WV-3 LARGE money for me!

West Virginia is a one dimensional team.  If you able to shut down the run game you are able to shut down the entire offense.  Pittsburgh has one of the top defenses against the run averaging less than 120 yds per game.  This edge along with them playing at home makes me take Pitt in this one.
 
Pittsburgh + 3

The play is most definitely Pitt +3.5.  Pitt is 7-3 this year as dogs, and WV is only 5-4 as favorites.  Lesean McCoy is about to go off.  

Again, Pitt +3.5.

  There goes that "L" word again.  Does anybody really know which WV team will show up?  There is value here with the home dog as these teams really are pretty evenly matched.

 

                                          PITT  + 3

There are several points to consider. First big one for me is Pat White is a Senior and remembers Pitt stealing his shot at glory. Second, West Virginia's defense is ranked 33rd in the nation while Pitt is ranked 35th. Pitt's rushing defense is 16th in the nation. Heinz field can get very messy depending on the shape of the field. Pat White has only thrown over 200 yards twice this year, in a loss to Cincy and a win early in the season against Villanova (this screams one dimensional), that is a huge concern. It boils down to emotion, will West Virginia be pissed enough about last year. More so, will Pat White take the game into his own hands. I am leaning towards Pat White.

West Virginia -3.5
