How The Heck Is Pittsburgh -3?

[Diehardblues]

Cant see us going 15-1. There's going to be some losses. This would rank up there as one of the most probable we'll lose.

Pitts OC MPouncey left yesterdays game with a thumb injury. And their backup OC is on IR.

"Unless they can brace the thumb in some way, it would be difficult for a center to grip the football with a thumb injury on the snapping hand."

 

[Diehardblues]

Gonna take more than Ben to stop our offense from controlling the clock.

I'm not saying we can't win this game just that I see it as more of a potential loss than many left on our schedule .

Sure, if they can stop our offense from controlling the clock.

Pouncey may not play this week due to a thumb injury. Hayward-Bay was carted off with a foot injury.

 

[Diehardblues]

Sure, if they can stop our offense from controlling the clock.

Agreed. I definitely can see a good argument for us winning.

I'm just saying I can see it as a game we lose. And as an official underdog I don't expect us to win.

Steelers pass rush is worse than ours. They have 11 sacks. We have 18.

Agreed. There must and will be losses. The Steelers haven't played very well recently. I have a good feeling about the Cowboys in this one. But, you are right..its a game the club could loose in Pittsburgh.

This is really a back against the wall game for the Steelers. With that said, we are the better team and shouod win this game. Honestly, I like being that we are the underdog. Dak loves proving people wrong.

 

[Don Corleone]

Their defense is garbage. The Cowboys should win this game.

Late TD drives fail to mask putrid showing by Steelers offense

"The Steelers had 69 total yards through three quarters and 76 yards through their first 12 possessions (albeit one was a half-ending kneel down)."

Pittsburgh a different team at home. 3-1 with their lone loss against New England without Roethlisberger. This is gonna be a tough game.

I'm not seeing it. This isn't the Steelers of old...they're not a good football team. I seldom get into the pick 'em game but the Cowboys should handle business next week.

This is about getting people to bet the way they want and not who they think is better.

That has always been the case. Amazing not everyone understands that.

A lot of action comes in on Dallas late in the week. I expect this line will be -2 by game time, just like the spread against the Eagles increased from -4.5 to -5.5 by the end of the week.

Those late in the week gamblers were rewarded since Dallas covered.

-3 Steelers line sounds right to me, you've got two strong offenses and two weak defenses that likely cannot stand up to them. Toss-up. Give the home team the advantage.

 

[Sydla]

Home field advantage is around 3 points. So the odds makers have Dallas as EVEN with Pittsburgh on a neutral field.

7-1 vs. 4-4 with an injured quarterback.

How is this an EVEN line?

Makes 0 sense to me.

On a side note, is Dallas now 7-1 against the line for the season? When are these odd makers going to learn?

Because Vegas isn't emotional. It's tough to win on the road in the NFL. The Steelers have talent on offense. They've scuffled but they still possess talent.

I think people penciling this game in as a sure win are getting way ahead of themselves.

Dallas defense isn't weak. Not elite, but not weak. And the Steelers offense isn't strong \right now, read that article.

That was a hobbled Rothlesburger returning early against the #2 NFL defense. Odds are Rothlesburger will be much better next weekend.

Pittsburgh has a true home field advantage.

Almost no fans from the other team ever. Very loud. And usually a good team.

Dallas wins this week though. Too much Zeke. Although they could really use Claiborne this week.
