Steelers / Ravens Thursday

[Ebumdude]

How in the heck are the Steelers +3 (-130) against the Ravens this Thursday night?

Everyone else is (-120) and lower with one team at (-125).

Does this +3 (-130) spread for Pitt a secret fantastic code to back Pitt on this one?

[POOLSIDE]

Yes. Code. Shhhhhhh tho otherwise they'll move it to +2.5.

I'm throwing a small piece on Pitt to cover.

[slacker00]

Tease PIT to +9, this will be a division rivalry brawl and comes down to the last drive one way or the other.

thats easy. Home field advantage. Steelers O-Line is garbage.

Flacco has a nasty weapon in Steve Smith

The entire nation hates ray rice....such a distraction for the ravens. Go Pitt plus the points

[JMon]

They do!

[jtoler]

Its code for them not wanting to move off this key number.

[bestone109]

Ill disagree our o line did good first game and is finally healthy but our defense wont stop the pass we made hoyer look like MVP in the 2nd half and flacco will do the same

This is the worst healthy defense Pittsburgh has fielded in the last decade. Pitt had to sign The Beard after it was obvious through camp they have no chance to pressure the passer. Harbaugh and Flacco have seen LeBeau's scheme's before and will exploit Taylor and Troy's inability to cover anyone anymore and cause coverage sacks. It took Cleveland's inexperienced coaching staff an entire half to figure out how to exploit Pitt's defense, Baltimore should be ready from the first snap. Pitt can put up points though. Ben's ability to extend the play and Bell becoming a better back this year is allowing Pitt to become an actual solid NFL offense (if Ben can go no huddle and limit Haley's influence, which is warranted for a road night game with a rowdy crowd). And by the way Pitt's punter sucks. The two smart plays are Balt and the over. I am a yinzer and won't typically bet against my home team so I'm taking the over and let the better team win that night. I just don't think this is a game the Steelers win.

Thursday night games tend to go under, especially with an AFC matchup like this one

[Snowball]

only bets i like and am on are Steelers +125
and Steelers +14 in parlays.

[jrock066]

Heavy rain in the Midwest moving to the east coast tomorrow. Bet the under.

[R.P. McMurphy]

Like Balty here neither team that impressive but everyone reacting to Rice news and slamming Pitt. I go the other way this gm means more to Balty than any reg season game of the year and the Rice thing will only have them more inspired. Don't see Balty dropping 2 straight at home the Bungles are superior to both these teams and just more talented. Don't see Pitt in same light but as always the road dog in this series should always be a tease fave for the week.

What about the Under?

Don't these teams usually bang on defense in this series?

[KalouKalou]

Don't forget Baltimore was playing a top 3 def with Cincy. I really like this spot, I think if Baltimore lose again for a second week in a row at home they are already out of the playoff.

I took Baltimore ML -125

[bestone109]

I was thinking under because of the history of low scoring games but dont know this year how good the defenses are

[WWCD]

Under.

This matchup hasn't hit 45 points in years.

Bonus: Check the weather reports.

[McDabs]
