triple-dime bet 324 Pittsburgh 2.5 (-110) Bodog vs 323 Cincinnati
Analysis:
PLAY: PITTSBURGH
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY
First let me say that last week's game in West Virginia meant nothing to the Pitt Panthers. Yes it was the Back Yard Brawl but this year didn't have the same meaning because had another game and this game game today was for all the marbles in the Big East. It's the main reason I had WVU as I Big Play and cashed last week. This is all Pitt cared about. This next statement proves my entire point that last week was just about getting thru with no key injuries. Pitt had rushed the ball 38 or more times in 5 of their previous games prior to last week when they only ran the ball 29 times even though they were averaging nearly 5 ids a carry. The reason was Coach Wannstedt was saving his freshman running back for a bigger work load this week. Pitt will run the ball 40 or more times this week as Cincinnati has problems stopping the run. In Pitt's 5 games before WVU last week Pitt averaged 220 ids rushing a game.
Cincinnati's defense gave up 202 ids rushing to WVU, 201 to Connecticut, 290 to Fresno St and 168 to S. Florida. Pitt rushes better than all those teams. The Pitt offense also passes the ball well getting over 200 yds passing in 8 of 11 games this year.
On defense Pitt is superior has they have only allowed one team to score more than 21 points in their last 7 games and that was Notre Dame with one of the Best offenses in the Country.
Last but not least Cincinnati has the pressure of a undefeated season to cope with and all the distractions with the rumors their coach is going to take the Notre Dame job. My projected score is PITT 37- 27. TAKE PITT as MARCO'S BIG EAST MASSACRE

Analysis: PLAY: RUTGERS
RATING: SINGLE DIME PLAY
No way West Virginia comes into this game properly prepared as they are coming off of their Big Revenge Win in the Ba“ck Yard Brawl. That game meant a lot to WVU where as today's game means more to Rutgers and that's why I am backing them here as my numbers have them winning by 7-10 points. Take RUTGERS
