This is an 8* play on Pittsburgh.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that the Orange are just 1-3 ATS in their last four against teams with with losing records and only 3-6 ATS in their last nine off a loss against a conference rival, while Pittsburgh is 7-3 ATS in its last ten against teams with winning records and 4-1 ATS in its last five as a home dog in the 3.5 to seven points range.

The bottom line: The outright isn't out of the question, but the numbers point to the points as the savvy move in the end. Play on PITTSBURGH.
