I'm shutting up about this one. I was on this board last week saying the Miami O spread over UC was bogus :red:
Amazing the respect Pittsburgh is getting.

line on West Virginia game is too tight. They beat the spread handily. They held their own vs VTech Saturday, and Rutgers struggled to keep Pitt from taking over the game.

UConn hasn't been tested yet, and Syracuse has played a pretty tough schedule to date. Both blanked Buffalo. I see the Orangemen taking this one, but it will be close.

Pittsburgh may win this one, but I wouldn't touch the spread.

Louisville-North Carolina. The Tar Heels are hot right now, and I think they will win it.
Card fans better watch out for UNC this year. They have played a tough schedule. They lost tight games to Georgia Tech & Wisconsin. The Tarholes won their last two games against NC State & Utah. UNC typically starts slow & finishes strong. They beat Miami last year. I hope you guys whip them, but I'd expect a much more competitive game from the Holes than last season.
What is the over/under for the UC vs. Pitt game? It might be a record for lowest total points.
Syracuse 23
Connecticut 26

I like UCONN in a close one at home



West Virginia 33
Rutgers 16

I think WVU has found its running game, and should be able to pound the ball against Rutgers. I was worried about a letdown, but I think Rich Rod will have them ready.


Cincinnati 6
Pittsburgh 27

Based on how UC played against Miami U, I think Pitt should be able to handle them rather easily at home.


North Carolina 30
Louisville 35

If this were a road game, I would go with Carolina, but UL should have a tough crowd at home, and win in a high scoring, close game.
UofL won't have a problem respecting Carolina in my opinion. We know they play about the toughest schedule in the country. I'm not expecting anything near a 34 point win like last year but I think the Cards win.
