[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 132521235, member: 1112294"] Pitt sucks. But so does our secondary. The point spread, or spread, is a number set by odds makers to even the playing field. It’s a way for the sportsbook to balance a matchup between two unequal teams by either giving points to the underdog or taking points away from the favorite in the final score. A -1.0 pretty much says this game is even. (I would stay away from this one). I would say the reason they think Pitt is 1 point favorite is due to the Neal Brown factor. The favorites on a money line or point spread tend to be the more popular side for the public to bet. The more money that sports bettors place on one side, the more the line will shift in favor of the other. [/QUOTE]
