20-10-1, +47.5 units YTD
Wasn't able to post much this weekend as the kids were in a softball tourney.
The one late ML parlay I did post on Sat. lost as Austin Peay forgot how to play defense at home.

7* Pitt+3.5

I'm think you can wait a while to place this bet as I think you can get 4 or 5 possibly by 6:00 as people come home from work and drive this line up.

Lots of cappers have already jumped on UConn last night and this morning at 3 and think the line is a joke. Every stat in the past has favored UConn in this rivalry, which is what people are looking at.
But this could be one of the best teams Pitt has ever had.
The opening line states that the lines makers feel Pitt should be favored on a neutral field. I agree, especially without Dyson in the line up.
Let's not forget that dogs of 1-3.5 pts have been golden this time of year.



I see this game playing out with UConn trying to go inside and force Pitt's big men into early fouls. Some thing that has plagued Pitt during the year and cost them their 2 loses. UConn's 3 big men have a slight advantage.

Pitt on the other hand will rely on their defense, and out side perimeter shooting. If Pitt comes out and drives the lane on Thabeet and Adrien, and makes the extra pass to the out side open man and starts making those shots, like they have all year, then this will force UConn's Big men out and open up the inside game of Blair and Young. People under estimate how good Pitt's perimeter shooting realy is. They are second in the Big East hitting 3's.

Both teams are exactly similar with Dyson on the court. They play the exact same style. But with Dyson not in the lineup will not only hurt UConn in my opinion, as Fields, Young, Dixon and Wannamaker will put a lot of pressure on Walker and Austrie. Austrie who has filled in for the injured Dyson, struggled against Seton Hall in his last game and kept SH in the game until the end. This in my opinion, is where the game will be won or lost. Walker has quickness, but Pitt has a huge advantage here.

UConn has been on a roll and their home court will definitley be an advantage for them tonight. But people forgot what happened to UConn at home in their first game of the year, when GTown hit those perrimeter shots and went up by double digits early and blew out the Huskies.

History has shown that this rivalry has been close, so any points over 2 has a lot of value. Last year UConn won 60-53 with injured Fields on the bench.
He will be the key to Pitt's victory tonight and will be stoked in showing his skills on prime time TV.

g/l tonight Wood!! you may have the right side in the Pitt game. I could see a 10 point blow out on either side depending on how well each team plays.

Thanks BUDDY. If I win this Pitt bet, I'm probably going to throw something down on A&M

Woody, I have been a big fan of yours on "around the horn". When I first noticed your name I thought it was a joke but for an imposter to know as much as you was not possible. Being new to capping I want to thank you for your picks, insight and I wish you the best of luck to you and your family. Marc
