Wake Forest opens +14.5 against Pittsburgh

[sailordeac]

if there is a money line, you have a 25-1 chance of winning. that is Harlem Globetrotters/Washington Generals kind of odds

Definitely. We should just be formally called the Washington Generals whenever we go on the road.

 

[DeacsATS]

Still 14.5.

Still not touching it.

Pitt's bruisers, at home, vs. Bz-inspiration.

Bzaster.

That does seem low. I would take Pitt to cover.

ETA: I saw that it opened at 13.5 and jumped to 14.5: http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-basketball/odds/las-vegas/

I agree, I don't see a scenario where we lose by less than we did against UVA. In my mind Pitt is a top 2-3 ACC team and a top 12 team nationally.

I would worry about a back door cover

They were wishing the back door cover was off the bus as they rode to Pittsburgh with the AD on the bus with them. Bet that was a fun trip.

 

[deacsrus]

We are on the road...nuff said.

Let's remember that Pitt is feeling slighted by the Committee for not putting them in the Top 25. They'll probably throttle us to stick it to the Committee (well, they will anyway I guess).

 

[Jroc25]

Pitt just needs to outscore us by 1 point in the 2nd half to cover

Back door cover in progress

Will [Redacted] mention this comeback? Me thinks so.

 

[BacktoBack]

Without a doubt. He likes it when our starters out score their scout team of walk ons.

Back door cover in progress

Almost

I always find it ironic to see the + sign when speaking of Wake B-Ball...+ is much to positive and a - would be much better.

 

[RandyChildress]

The bookies are good.

 

[BabyDeac75]

At least the gamblers were interested in the final minute of play.

 

[deacondamo]

Will [Redacted] mention this comeback? Me thinks so.

Those last three minutes. If only he could get his guys to play like they do against those walk-ons, we would be in great shape.

Well no kidding! That's how he built his non-conference record this year!

could have made some gamblers rich. They could have bet Pitt -14.5 and Wake at +15.5. They would have collected both ways.
