They would set it at 3.5 if they felt pitt were in contention here
If they put it at 3.5, they would be in danger of SMU being back on ML. - They would have to push out Pitts to 5.5 and ML
That would not look good if you wanted to entice Pitt backers
If they put it at 5.5, They would be in Danger of SMU cover bets - They would have to push out Pitts to 7.5
That would not look good if you wanted to entice Pitt backers
But if they put the Line at 7.5 or 7 to entice Pitts backers and that would slow down the flow of SMU backers, then they drop the the to 6.5. that will give the illusion of pitts having a chance to be within a TD of SMU. and being backed to be with in a TD.
I think they have SMU by 10+ and want to get the Pitts side of the market flowing first. Therefore I think the Pitts +7 is a trap. I think it will drop 6.5 or even down to 5.5. and that will make it look like all the money on a unbeaten side, with 3 days extra rest and SMU last game they just made it through Duke look nice and neat. To neat, I thinking Smelly cheese.
