    Anyone else playing the Sandy angle in the Pitt/NYG game?

    Steelers can't get a hotel, so they're flying in 5 hrs before game time.

    -3 is Juiced to hell currently.

    Only hesitation is the Giants notorious inability to play well at home, as they are obviously the better team.

    All true but don't forget about the "gotta win for the hurtin' peeps" (re: Sandy) mindset that many Giant players are stating in interviews.

    And you know Coughlin is gonna use it as a motivational tool.

    Don't think that this wasn't a PITA for the Giants players as they lived with these distractions all week.

    They sure did... players bunking in with other players, hotels, etc.... BUT, when the adversity increases, Big Blue plays better.

    Coughlin is damn good at finding ways to motivate his guys, but they struggle mightily at home. I wouldn't touch this game with a 10 ft. pole.

    Agree with most everything being said, however the Giants have had issues showing up at home against bad teams, they will be ready to play against the Steelers

    Giants could barely win a game that was handed to them last week with how ever many turnovers. Romo isn't suiting up for the Steelers, so I'd rather put my money on Big Ben and the Steelers regardless of their 1 hour flight in the morning.

    The Steelers have their wounded weapons back.
    Big Ben has evolved as a precise pocket passer
    and a third down hombre.
    Taking the easy money with Pitt.

    I actually won a last second bet last night on the Knicks using the exact same logic. However, I felt much stronger about a fabricated feel good story with Stern at the helm than I do the with the NFL.

    I have yet to be impressed with the Steelers all year. If the Steelers have a suspect line, which I suspect they might, the NYG can destroy them. The only way you control the Giants is with a dominant O-line.

    Them at home is usually bad news as I've said, but if this were on the road, I would probably take them in a heart beat.

    It's one of the better matchups on the card this week though.

    While these are all valid points, your overlooking the most important fact. If the Giant cover then the prick will tie me making me not beat the prick.
