Patrick willis is a huge part of 49ers defense. Niners D will need to play really good to cover for his absence.

[Big Bear]

Best matchup since '07?

You've got to be kidding... right?

2007 was the last time two teams with records of 10-3 or better met on monday night

[Phillth]

Sweet 3 team teaser. Pitt +13 , Pitt/sf o28 , tcu/la tech o 45.5

[canepole]

go pitt

[GREGREEK]

West coast!

[NOboy]

why not? 2 of the best defences in the league. its a possible 2012 superbowl preview

if this was the 2012 superbowl, i would have no interest in watching it except for wagering purposes

[grzftbl]

Sweet 3 team teaser. Pitt +13 , Pitt/sf o28 , tcu/la tech o 45.5

Was thinking Pitt +13/O28/U48.

[Phillth]

Was thinking Pitt +13/O28/U48.

Where do u get u48? Can you tease both sides of the total?

[manicart]

Willis out
Ben will play and they're pullen this game time decision bullshit

[edh1011]

too close to call on any sides or totals bet. If I absolutely had to bet this though, I'd take pitt with the pts

[dredmahawkus]

Pitt has alot of trouble with good Ds. I am on SF and the under.

Records don't necessarily translate into good/entertaining match-ups. If you're going to use records to base your statement on, you would have been better served to have phrased it differently. *Best* equates to *most anticipated*, and this game is not one that the majority of people have had circled on their calendar as a *must see*. I'll be watching because I'm a degenerate gambler... if this game had been yesterday, I definitely wouldn't have been gambling on it, or watching it.

Editorial note: The above is nothing more than my opinion.

[Bengals28]

think im gonna just fade the dumbest comment i read on this gm for a side..so far looks like ill be on sf..

You're an idiot. Alex Smith sucks, your disagreeing with this sentiment? The 49ers will be 1 and done in the playoffs and will lose tonight. They're offense is horrible.

[gRamblin' Man]

anybody actually throw down some bets on this game already? I kind of like the 7 pt teaser, Pitt +9.5/under 45.

Any opinions on this play?

I played Niners -3 @ +110 a little while ago.

[5mike5]

definatley leaning steelers with big ben playing

[Letsgobows]

Steelers +3 seems like the safer bet...and with me being the degenerate I am, will take it for 2 units =)

[Mr. Kite!]

I just rolled with Steelers -3.5 (+200) and 49ers TT under 20.5 (-105).

The Steelers have given up 21+ points only 1 time this year.

Let's hope Ben's ankle is feeling good!

[JoshVtine]

I'm all over the Steelers getting points with Ben playing and Willis out. With Baltimore losing last night makes it an easier play for me. No way the Steelers lose with the chance of controlling thier own destiny for #1 seed. Prolly put a Nickel on it.

[Phillth]

What is san frans td conversion rate in the red zone? How many tds have the steeper defence given up in the redzone?

[Koldazzice]

Niners -1.5 -115 at betislands. No one has run he ball vs SF all year. Not a rushing td vs this D.

Its all on big ben and 1 shot he could be out. To risky imo to take pitt in this spot. Just playing it small though to have some action

Good luck all

[Mr. Kite!]

What is san frans td conversion rate in the red zone? How many tds have the steeper defence given up in the redzone?

49ers are 31st (36%) in offensive red zone TD percentage.
Steelers are 25th (58%) in defensive red zone TD percentage.

[BigDan]

What is san frans td conversion rate in the red zone? How many tds have the steeper defence given up in the redzone?

35.56% good for 2nd to last in nfl only behind the lowly Lambs... however their d is #1 in the league allowing 35.71% of red zone trips to end in tds, while pit d ranks 25th allowing a conversion rate of 57.69%....

Gave up one to Beanie Wells in the loss to the Cardinals I believe...still a great stat.

[Pick'nParlays]

lmao

[manicart]

Im taken PITT +2

[Big Bear]

anymore info on pat willis? is he gonna man up?

[Pivotpoint]

I had the Niners - 3, +102 that I bet on Friday when Big Ben's status was listed as a game time decision. Now that it appears he will be taking snaps, line drifted down to Niners - 2 1/2, so I hit it again.

Some reasons I like the Niners.

Willis is a big loss for 49ers at Linebacker, but offset by Steeler loss of Harrison.

I'm always impressed with how Roethlisberger can shake off injury, but when both your center (Pouncey) and QB are nicked up, well, that's cause for concern.

Trends.

Niners 10-0 ats of a SU favorite loss.

Steelers 0-11 ats away in Dec vs an opponent off a SU and ats road loss

Niners 6-0-1 ats at home TY.

Niners 9-0 ats off SU upset loss, 7-1 as Dec host.

Niners 11-3-1 ats, + 121 1/2 pts ats last 14

Smith can look shaky at times but still 15 tds vs 5 picks.

Niners Defense (14ppg) + 21 TOs, will force Ben to beat them in the air, on the road. We've all seen Ben do some amazing stuff while injured, but this is more often the case at the comforts of home, with rabid fans cheering him on.

Yes, 49ers choked on the road last week and couldn't hold on to 19-7 lead. Smith sacked 5 times and looked bad. They have a history of bouncing back and should have a strong showing in final reg. season home game. Steelers offense looked weak also last week. Only notched 2 tds against a struggling Brown team, even when home.

Yes, Ben has proven he can hang tough, but will he last? Will Tomlin pull him if he gets gimpy, thinking better to have healthy for playoffs? Who likes Steelers +3 with Batch on road?

Would Jim Harbaugh like to help his brother John tonight? I think the Niners will look sharp tonight in their last reg season home game and will consider this a playoff primer. Steelers will be playing for the win, but Tomlin has to be concerned about risking his qb on the road when he is not 100%.

Not a lock by any means. Should be a great game and I'm not sure Ben will make it through the whole game. I think the Niners win by 10. Not a hedge, but if they win by 3, I'll push and win with the - 2 1/2 . Gl with your choice.

[GREGREEK]

SF at home... come on guys they are not giving up points and they are younger and healthier!

CANDLESTICK

[GREGREEK]

We saw what happens to old men when they travel out west last night.

[Scorpion]

[Pivotpoint]

You like Pitt and have pick and the other guy likes Pitt and received + 2 and he got smoked?

Games - 3 , ev money in Vegas, - 2 1/2 off shore.

[k13]

No, they did not.

Beanie had 0 td's rushing and 1.8ypc

[bradleysnyder]

9ers will win easy tonight
