How The Heck Is Pittsburgh -3?

[Sydla]

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.

Yep.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

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

Ben can be as mobile as he wants, won't make their defense stop our offense controlling the clock.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I love it...hope it goes to six, but I bet the public will bring this number down to a pick 'em

 

[Joe Realist]

must win for Pitt and they will play better than they did yesterday

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Ben can be as mobile as he wants, won't make their defense stop our offense controlling the clock.

and what's to stop their offense from controlling the clock and/or scoring? The Cowboys haven't faced an offense like this yet (with a healthy Rothlesburger).

 

[DCBoysfan]

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

Roll back your egos, this isn't a lack of respect, it is a way to have equal bets on both sides and they live off the juice.

Somebody is bring common sense to the thread, there's no need for that.

 

[CATCH17]

That team has been in a slump for a couple of weeks and I bet they will ready to explode on Dallas next week. Two things worry me about the Steelers.

Bell against our DL
Brown against our DBs

Oh i'm sure they will bring it.


But the problem is still our run game.

If we can't run the ball then we could easily lose. If we run the ball with success.. We will probably win.

This should be a good game.

Living near Crapsburgh, nothing could make me happier then rolling in there, treating them like we just did to the Browns & knocking them below .500. I must say, it's been a very enjoyable year in the office. Very quiet, people respecting the STAR on my door and little to no noise being made by Crapsburgh's obnoxious, loud mouthed, fans of theirs. I'd prefer it stays like this so 8-1 is a must for this fan!

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

and what's to stop their offense from controlling the clock?

Our offense controlling the clock with more weapons than theirs.

 

[Jstopper]

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.

Just last season Panthers went 15-1. Theres no rule that says we have to lose games. I really don't see a loss left on our schedule. Ravens sucks, Vikings suck, giants eagles Commanders all trash. Lions are alright but dont have anywhere near the d-line they had when we played in the playoffs. I think we're running the table

 

[AKATheRake]

Steelers are 4-4 and have to win at home to stay in the divisional race.

They're brutal to play at home and I think are the toughest game in this next 4 game stretch.

 

[Jstopper]

and what's to stop their offense from controlling the clock and/or scoring? The Cowboys haven't faced an offense like this yet (with a healthy Rothlesburger).

The Steelers don't play clock control. I watch them play every week they throw bombs and hardly run at all, they are super pass happy. And their defense is abysmal. We will steam roll them. Ben isn't ready they rushed him back from that meniscus surgery.

 

[Sarge]

It's essentially a pick'em game. Home team gets 3 points. I think it's a fair line.

If it's NOT a fair line it will be adjusted like they are every week. This isn't rocket surgery.

 

[Sarge]

Steelers are 4-4 and have to win at home to stay in the divisional race.

Agreed. They will be going for the jugular and will not step off the gas until the last play. Ben played poorly this week. Bell was awful and Antonio Brown was not himself. This is a much bigger game for them than it is for us, quite frankly.

 

[viman96]

The line as it sits it to get people to bet on the Cowboys. I expect it to move towards the Steelers as the game gets closer.

 

[bsbellomy]

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?

You feel like it's so off, break out your checkbook.

 

[reddyuta]

Zeke is going to have a monster game,i think over 150.If we dont give up big plays then we have a great chance.

 

[dwreck27]

Ill take that easy money if they keep it there....

I like our running game on that ****** Heinz field thats not a great steelers D they have up there right now..

Throw in a wounded duck Big ben(who prbly will still look good since we can rush the passer)

 

[DandyDon1722]

I'm stunned it's only -3.

The officials alone should make it -6.

P.S. Ask Benny Barnes and if you are not sure who he is look it up, says all you need to know about the Stealers.

 

[gmoney112]

Tough game, I think a pick em game is probably fair. We're going to give up a ton of yards through the air. I think this is the game someone finally breaks 100 on us, just too many weapons and no Mo/Church.

We should be able to work then on offense though. I do like the extra points, since I'm parlaying Dallas to cover Pitt -9 ha ha
