How The Heck Is Pittsburgh -3?

Biggest concern is this run defense versus Leveon Bell. Yikes.

I would rather be getting points than giving points.......keeps them honest and hungry and I'm going to bet them anyways

We've controlled all but 6 quarters this season - last 3 quarters against NY, middle two quarters against Eagles and first quarter against the 49ers. The other 26 quarters we have controlled or forced our opponents to alter their game plans. Thats over 80% of all the games, we have dictated to our opponents how they have to play. Hard to beat us when that happens.

Thank you for putting it in this context. My God that makes me feel good going forward

If the Cowboys have to lose one of the next 2 (and they could lose both), I'd rather they lose to Pitt and beat Baltimore. They've never beaten the Ravens.

Back to back road games are tough against the spread. I wouldn't bet it with borrowed money,but put a gun to my head I take the boys and bet it down to 2.5 points

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

This, exactly. Big Ben is very good at getting TD's quickly, which in a way plays right into our hands. We will absolutely wear his defense out if he does that. Bad enough for a defense to have to defend our offense, but having to go right back out there again after they score in 2 minutes is kind of like getting your butt handed to you AGAIN. That is the best thing about having an offense that can keep a defense on the field, by the 4th quarter, they just wont have anything left.
