YTD 22-13-1 +6.1
TCU -14 .............for 3 units
Pittsburgh +3 ....... for 1 unit
I really like TCU -14 tonight on national TV over West Virginia. I have never been a big Dana Holgorsen fan and ever since he took over as the WVU head coach in 2011 he’s teams have flamed out once they enter Big 12 conference play. 2012’s team 7-6 and lost in the pinstripe Bowl. The 2013 team was 4-8 and last year’s 2014 team was 7-6 and lost the Liberty bowl. He has been taking a lot of heat lately and deservedly so in my opinion.
WVU’s defense was somewhat heralded after the first 3 games of the season but since entering in Big twelve play they have given up 30 points against Oklahoma State , 44 points against OU and 62 against Baylor. I feel and think that TCU’s offense is better than OU’s and Oklahoma States. TCU have scored 70 at home against SF Austin, 56 against SMU and 55 against Texas Tech so I know they score well at home. None of these teams have great defenses however I feel that TCU can and will light up the score board against this WVU defense.
After last year and coming up short in the polls and playoff’s, I see Gary Patterson doing his best to impress and he will not call off the dogs and he’ll score as much as possible.
My next play is taking the home dog. Pittsburgh +3 They have hung tough this year and if not for Iowa’s kicking a 57 yard field goal as time expired in Iowa Pittsburgh could have been undefeated going into tonight’s game. They went into Ga. Tech and won 31-28 and we saw what happened last week as Georgia Tech lucked out against a good but not great Florida State team, so this shows and tells me that Pittsburgh is a decent team and playing against a similar caliber team in North Carolina I feel that some way, somehow will and can squeak out a win.
