arty:
I took this from,Voiceofreason" thread I thought it was a good read.
I was thinking before the season that maybe the stash can finally get it. Can he really be that much of moron? Can someone fail at everything he does? The answer so far to all these questions is a resounding yes.
Pitt has the stud "shady" at RB and all these other nice weapons around him. Problem is their QB has been average at best/very consistent and their offensive line has been very questionable to say the least. They have 4 new position guys on the OL and their simply not getting the push that needs to be required for a winning program. Shady's stats reflect what I'm preaching as he has yet to eclipse the 100 yard mark. First game Stull had no time to throw and I think more of the same is gonna come about in this one. Iowa defense had yet to allow a TD and with Pitt's poor offensive showing thus far one has to wonder. Read a few articles that the Stash has some suprises in store for Iowa. Well with this piss poor OL I'm not too sure how well that will go.
On the flip side though Iowa is a running team first due largely to their dire QB situation. Pitt strength is playing the run so thats not exactly comforting if your a Hawkeye backer. Pitt as Iowa are led by their DT tandem. While Green is rolling along with 3 straight 100 yards I don't see equal sucess in this road game. So the game comes down to their shaky QB play. The competion still remains with one playing well one game then followed by a poor outing.
Iowa's OL and DL get my overrall edge and thats one of the main factors in my in game capping. Haviing said that at the end of the day I don't feel comfortable enough with either Iowa QB, especially on the road. Pitt should stop the run and even though they're having trouble with pressure I expect some blitzes to compensate for that which will result in 3 and outs/turnovers. The under will be a trendy bet here but I just don't do totals given their tendency to bite me in the rear end.
Lean Pitt but no play (game comes down to who makes less mistakes)

yes just not as big as I was going to.....I was thinking that both lines would move down..........Mich St possilby to 7.5 and then I would buy to 7 and that FSU would move down closer to 3.....both lines have done the opposite which makes the play not as strong.......sorry if you played them early!
