Money is heavy on Pitt +4.5...good luck

Having said that, I'm legitimately rooting for a Pitt loss as this becomes an even better bet when the odds slip to something like +2500

FYI for anyone betting during games, I'd start paying close attention to sacks, false starts, delay of games, end of quarter directional field changes and other cues for momentum/shifts

2 remaining losses at most on that schedule

They almost lost to BC last weekend.

Also, I don't think 10-2 gets them in the playoff as an at-large.

An 8-4 record is a typical Big Game James year.

I'm trying to hand out free money here just like last year with Indiana, +600 on this bet today

Yet you just said Indiana was going to repeat last week and that Hoover was comparable to Mendoza.

No one wants your shite betting advice.

The fact you keep having to harp on being right about Indiana, 10 months ago, says all we need to know.

This is crazy talk!

Have you watched them play this year?

They could lose to every team left on their schedule. Nothing is a given with this squad.

It was a bad loss, but it was in Charlotte, not Charlottesville. Neutral site game.

I've beaten down the door to ALWAYS fade the public. You won't win 100% of the time, but you'll win >60% of the time

e.g. last night Washington vs Philly. Who had Washington +3.5 or winning that game out right? Meanwhile how much money was lost on Philly ML and -3.5, esp with Saquon back?

In what galaxy does that result make any sense with what everyone saw from Chicago the week before vs Minnesota bringing in a QB that doesn't even know the system and hasn't truly played in a decade?

Hell in what galaxy did Philly only being -3.5 make any sense? It should have been -7.5 at minimum. Yet that -3.5 stacked all the money on the losing side

it's almost like you should bet the opposite of what you've been led to believe

ML and spread will be heavy on Miami, "strangely" that's typically a recipe for an "upset"


How else do you think an upset is supposed to work? Clearly they can’t be favored

What's the odds?

EDIT: +700 per DK. Not bad.

Have you forgotten who James Franklin is?

He was a great hire for Va Tech, no doubt. But he will find a way to lose 2-3 games. He always does. But 2-3 loss seasons are great for a program like Va Tech. They’ll make the playoffs a couple of times and fizzle out. But I don’t see them sneaking in this year.

I am glad VT is getting better. But they barely beat BC last weekend


This right here. You posted something that alluded to VT doing this last week in your other thread crowing about your Indiana prediction last year. I get it, you want to try for two in a row.

This VT team ain’t it. They lose AT LEAST three on that remaining schedule. Now, I will screenshot this post for posterity.

They haven't looked that good. I'm pretty confident in saying they will lose at least 3 games.

I'm not sure if they make the playoff but he is absolutely a home run hire for them

Yeah in fact WVU fans turned Charlotte into a home game for them. Something like 90 to 10 WVU to Virginia fans.

I’m not talking about the spread, I’m talking about money distribution by bettors

Which is theoretically supposed to be 50/50, but anyone believing that look to the Eagles only being -3.5 in the last nights latest rendition of performance art
