But with a 15.5 point spread, you would lose the bet if Pitt won by 14 points, right?

I'm a noob at this betting deal, I cherish my greenbacks too much to bet the real ones.

actually, seangar, they have utah as the as the favorite.
pretty much, they have them as a 15.5 point favorite. they figure that they can beat pitt by that amount.

the reason people are betting on pitt is because they feel that although pitt might lose, they will be within those 15.5 points. the only way for you to lose on this is if utah blows them out by 16 or more points.

Oh, so I had it backwards. Thanks for the explanation.

Gonna take Pit and the points, Pit might beat them straight out.

There is no doubt that Pitt is going to win. The way that Palko is playing, there is no reason way they shouldn't win.

They seem like they don't even want to be there. Like they partied to hard last night and are to hung over to even concentrate on the plays. This totally sucks. But it isn't over till it is over. i still have my fingers crossed.

I havent been able to watch the whole thing, but I have noticed way too damn much armtackling...same as the beginning of the season. Our o line has always had trouble, but arm tackling pisses me off. HIT HIT HIT!

Then on top of that the coach bailed before the big game...that never helps much.

I have been watching the whole game. The arm tackling and the not breaking down befor attmepting to tackle is realy hurting us. This is worst then the beginig of the season. It is like they don't care if they lose. Messing up on the most basicc football plays.

Couch leaving prior to the big game is bullshit and that had to hurt the moral of the team but still they should suck it up and play like they have a pair. They are still ny team but they are playing like little b***Hs Atleast we have a good couch coming in for next year. Palko is will be a Junior so we still have a good chance of haveing a better season next year.

I like Palko. Anyone who takes this kind of abuse and sticks it out without beating the piss out of his limp wristed linemen and walking off has my respect. 2:40 left, and he is still playing 100% balls out. I just want to get in there and lay a few blocks to help the guy out, but that would be the end of me.

Sack number 9. From, so far, basic blitz and rush packages. O line is chasing their pass blocks and never getting a square punch in. Lack of discipline, and more importantly, a lack of heart.
