Im leaning towards Buffalo +10.5

First of all IMO Dave Wannstedt is not a very good coach. Pittsburgh threw for a whopping 127yds against Youngstown!!! Yes Dion Lewis ran for 129yds with 2 touchdowns but then again its Youngstown. Buffalo is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 as a UNDERDOG. Buffalo did barely beat UTEP 23-17 but they are atleast FCS. Not too much on this game just like it. HOME DOG with a good chance to make it close.

Good reasoning, was looking at this one too. GL if you play it Adam...

[AdamL2424]

Thanks cougarbait hope you get on board

[hova24e]

Adam, you've convinced me to dive deeper into this game...............................

I really like Buffalo here too. I was surprised to see Pitt that big of a favorite away from home.

[Famou$ $wag]

buffalo was a dog at UTEP last week by 8 and won outright...im gonna pound the bulls again this week at home....as of now the majority of the public money is on PITT coming out at -12 but the line has dropped to -10.5.....def goin with the better coached bulls team here at home good luck to us!

[20Four7]

Pitts is at least 11 points better. I like wandstat as a coach as well. This is a trap game to stay away from. Find your lucky coin and flip it because right now I think the spread is dead on.

[Fishhead]

The new Buffalo QB should be able to put points on the board vs. PITT.........I was very impressed with him against UTEP.

Gill may be the better head coach in this match-up also.

I like BUFFALO +11........could not believe this line when it came out.

Hope my local cable company will be carrying this game, really want to see it...........but it is the same time as the Iowa game.

My girlfriend is a huge Buffalo fan.........and I've grown fond of them also and follow them closely.

I think Buffalo keeps this game close throughout.

Need some stats on the lines of Pitt... That was a problem for UB in the UTEP game, they were outmatched on the line and could not get any pressure on the QB...

[fiveteamer]

Buff getting no respect from the books. Since when does Pitt ever score points?

[Roots416]

I agree that Buffalo is underrated by the books, it's typical for Buffalo sports in general (unless when you believe the Pats can't beat the Bills by more than 10.5... but that's another story)....

I live here in Buffalo and I'm not one to tout the home team line but like Fishhead... I can see this game going close throughout. Buffalo has the ability to respond to scoring drives and Pitt will have them against the buffalo d... but in general buffalo is a team that will respond, keep it close and put points on the board... I'm not here to say UB wins outright, but I def think they keep it within 11.

[themajormt]

UB held with Pitt last year also...

[element1286]

Bill Stull is an awful QB, so Buffalo has that going for them.

But I think Pitt's defense is far too good, especially on the defensive line.

I agree with you on Stull. Tino Sunseri is going to get more playing time this week.

[polson22]

i'm new and don't know the rules (i.e. naming a service)... but i see a big service i watch closely calling the buffalo outright win.

i'm a huge buffalo fan. surprised we did so well at UTEP........ don't know much about pittsburgh beyond wannstedt, ex-mccoy and upper-mid big east. but should be better than buffalo (especially ex-willey, starks)

is davonte shannon playing for buffalo? no idea whether he played vs. UTEP though.

[TexansFan]

No play on the sides but I am playing U 48.5

[themajormt]

Shannon is playing and played well at UTEP... was all over the field...

UB returns 8 starters this year on Defense, most of their O line, all their WR's but obviously Starks and Willy are gone... I am heavy on UB + points and 1/3 of it is on the ML... I like UB in this spot alot, I will be sitting 20 yard line front row, closest end zone by the scoreboard!!!
