Can anyone tell me how Pitt was pretty much a pick at home today against UConn???

I thought someone was injured when I saw this line. I can usually predict within a few points what a line will be before I check with my book but this one shocked me. I figured this one to be Pitt -4 or -5. Thoughts please??

of course pitt should be -4 or -5 in OUR eyes. but they needed it to be a pk to get equal action. the books would have had the world betting conn at +5 even if it was the wrong side.


conn is a much more public / highly touted team than pitt even if pitt is the clearly better club with homecourt.

its all about getting equal action on both sides not neccisarily putting up a prediction number.
