Can someone explain to me why we are only 7 pt (well I guess 10 if you figure in the 3pt 'home advantage') underdogs to Pitt?

Pitt can make a BCS bowl with a win.

USF can't hit a toilet bowl with it's QBing.

I don't get it. I would have guessed at least 14pts.

Well, since we previously beat them when we were 24 point underdogs, maybe they don't want to take a chance this time. After all, we were 3 1/2 point favorites to beat them at the beginning of the year.

probably figure we'll keep it close long enough for PJ to throw away the game in the 4th

Would you bet your money on a Big East team this year?

It's because Pitt does not want to embarass a future conference team.  The BE doesnt need any teams that look embarassing right now.

b/c Pitt really isn't as good as everyone thinks. When they lose this week... I will be right and Walt being voted Big East coach of the year will look like a jackass.

All very nice thoughts, but Pitt does not make the spread, Vegas does.  The reason is simple, neither team is playing for anything.  No matter what Pitt does, they are headed to a BCS bowl, no matter what USF does, they are not headed anywhere.

Pitt will do what they need to win and no more.
