Anyone like Pitt to beat Puke

Puke sucks and Cannot play on the road 1-2 SU and 0-3ATS this season on the ROAD...I don't understand why this line is -5.5?  

They almost lost to ND as a -15 point fave on Saturday. It was a 3 point game less than 5 minutes to go...

Lost @ GT as a -12.5 fave

Lost @ Arkansas as a -4.5 fave...

Pitt lost their last game at home vs UNC and should be fired up for this one after losing to UNC last home game....UNC was laying -4....Puke is laying -5.5? 

@davemsh

Yep that line has me scratching my head. Wish I had an answer for you on it to be honest.

I thought this would be a prime spot for Pitt to be a slight home fav. Line has me scratching my head as well. Duke prolly blows them out

What really has me scratching my head is why are they laying 5 to 5.5 when UNC only 4 for the reasons Dave said. I don't get it.

Well UNC beat Pitt by 13 so that dropped Pitt's power rating a bit. Meanwhile Duke beat Syracuse by 20 last Tuesday and then faltered a bit vs ND and only won by 8 so that boosted their power rating overall a bit.

I think Duke blows them out as they're hitting their stride at the right time. With a fully healthy lineup of Roach, Proctor, McCain, Mitchell and Flip this team is really hard to defend.

U missing the point..Duke can only play at home...I don't think u understand how bad GT and ND is.... It was 61-57 with under 1 minute to go...Beating a bad Syracuse team by 20 at home and a even worse ND team on the road by only 8 is not impressive...Even the Cuse game it was only a 9 point lead with 10 minutes to go 2nd half before they pulled away..

@davemsh

Teams play down to their competition from time to time. A Saturday game on the road vs a terrible team was just a let down spot. I expect Duke to right the ship and play much better vs Pitt.

The road losses to Arkansas (predictable, Superbowl for Arky during the holidays) and to GT (Proctor got hurt in the opening minutes) were bad situational spots for Duke and the team has improved a lot since then.

Duke has neutral site wins over Baylor and MSU so I don't think they're some noticeably worse team away from home.

Will be very interesting to see how it plays out

@ayoforyayo

  U mean they lose to GT as -12.5 fave on the road and almost lose to ND as a -14.5 fave on the road...Also lose to Arky on the road as a -4.5 fave...So they play down to the competition in all their road games this season.. All 3 games...0-3 ATS.... ..Its more like they cannot play on the Road...Nothing is wrong with that...A lot of team cannot play on the road..Look at the Entire B10.....

I like Duke but I've got them in my 4 team teaser at +5 so I don't have too much confidence in them lol

@davemsh

Duke ended up beating ND by 8. They were never truly in danger of losing that game once they woke up.

We"ll see. Duke annihilated Pitt last year in the 1st round of the ACCT and this team is better.
