525 Pittsburgh +2.5 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 526 Georgetown double-dime bet
Analysis:
PLAY: PITT
RATING: DOUBLE DIME PLAY
The Pitt Panthers fell out of the Top 25 for the first time this season after losing twice last week. They lost on New Year's Eve to Cincinnati who is a Top 25 Team. It was their second loss that has people concerned as they went to Rutgers on Saturday and lost outright as a 7 poi nt favorite. It should be noted that the game on Saturday had a odd starting time as Pitt played at 11 AM. Pitt just didn't come out and play well and I think the hangover from losing to Cincinnati and playing at an odd time had Pitt start slowly and they just never recovered from the slow start in the game. Yes I know it was an odd start time for Rutgers too but it is easier to play at home in a odd time than it is for the road team. Also it was a big game for Rutgers getting to play a Top 25 team at home on ESPN. Now Pitt travels to play Top 25 Georgetown. The public will look at this game and say Pitt lost their last 2 games and now must play at Georgetown in a game where the line says basically just pick the winner. That will make Georgetown look way too attractive. Pitt is a very live dog here as my numbers say Pitt should be the favorite but because of the last 2 games we now get them as a dog. Grab Pitt as they get back on track with a big win. I have Pitt winning by 3-5 points.

Let's make it 3 straight winning college ball days today:
3-Unit Play. #526. Take Georgetown -2 over Pittsburgh (Tuesday @ 9pm est).
Georgetown is a small favorite here over Pittsburgh and its a line worth taking. Although Pittsburgh has revenge coming into this game as Georgetown got the better of this team the last time they played, with Georgetown coming back home after a tough 49-48 loss over to Marquette it makes for a decent play here. This team covered as small underdog against Marquette and as a small favorite here at home I think they can cover again. Georgetown's only other loss this year besides Marquette was against number one ranked Indiana at that time whom they lost to in overtime. This team has beaten UCLA, Tennessee and Texas in their resume and although Pittsburgh is a very good team, I still like Georgetown to bounce-back here. Georgetown has excellent guard play with Starks, great length with Hopkins at 6-9 and two dynamic sophomores in Whittington and Porter. Pitt has started off conference play at 0-2 and they desperately need this game to avoid going to 0-3 in conference play. Their biggest power ranking win comes against Lehigh who is a top 50 team but otherwise they do not boast any other such top 50 victories. Asking them to go on the road and defeat a Georgetown team outright as a small dog I think is tough to ask. Pitt does an excellent job of not turning the ball over as they are a top 5 turnover percentage team but having said that it was not enough for them in their last two games to pull out a victory. Pitt lost to Cincinnati at home by 9 points and comes off a 5 point loss to Rutgers on the road as well. I like Georgetown here to step up coming off the loss to Marquette as they are 5-1 ATS coming off a straight up loss and Pitt is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games when facing a team with a winning percentage of greater than 60% on the road.
