Pitt has not played their best game yet. Pittsburgh is due. I thought Pitt would love to Xavier… now they get big rival Nova. Pitt is giving 5 to 6 points. This is going to be a tight game but Pitt’s size will outlast the Wildcats smaller backcourt. Give the points. Go with Pitt. Panthers are heading to the Final 4.

Elite Eight East Pick: Pitt over Nova
Friday, March 27th, 2009Sweet 16 Upset Special: Xavier over Pitt
Thursday, March 26th, 2009Xavier will be the first team to dethrone a #1. The Musketeers is very underrated. They have been there before… they’re well coached. Pittsburgh survived two scares last week. They will not get away with it this week. Fake John Anthony’s special is to take the points. Take the money line too! Xavier
AFC Championship Pick
Saturday, January 17th, 2009The line for the game is Pittsburgh by 6 with an over and under of 33.5. I have been betting Pittsburgh and Baltimore all year long. Both teams are great at covering spreads. FJA loves both teams and needs to decide on one.
Questions to answer:
1. Will Joe Flacco get away with mistakes he made against Tennessee? (If so, they should call him Shane Falco)
2. Can Baltimore run the ball effectively against the Steeler D?
3. Can the Steelers score more than 21 points?
Big Ben will outplay Flacco due to experience. I don’t think Pitt will give up many yards on the ground and will force Flacco to beat them. Pittsburgh should be able to move the ball against Baltimore unlike the regular season.
Prediction: Pittsburgh will avenge its lost to Baltimore and head to the Super Bowl. I also believe they will be able to cover the 6. The Pitt D will turn Joe Flacco into Shane Falco… Give them a few INTs and may even return one for a TD. With over and under at 33.5, I think these two teams can combine for 5 TDs. Final score will be Pitt 24 and Baltimore 14. They will bearly cover.
Pick: Pitt giving 6 and Over.
