I've always loved Pitt...but even before this, i had them missing the playoffs too.
I'll get my week #1 thread up soon...already two plays in the books...but i got this division going cincy, balt (fyi, as a wild card team), pitt, and clev.
With my thread, i'll also post a season preview/prediction. But what i find most curious is the affect, if any, this will have on the Mansion offer.
If you think about it, Miami winning or covering is the best case scenario for Mansion. they refund all the bets, almost like they never even happened in the first place...and through marketing/advertising genius, they increase their client base exponentially. all of a sudden, all these gamblers have accts of 1K+ at Mansion for the football season. True genius...plus, they'll prolly find a way to write off the lost income from the game as well...win-win.
