    Steelers +1.5

    My only play today is Steelers +1.5 against the Saints. Steelers are picking up steam and their playing a Saints team that got jacked by Cleveland. So why are the Saints favored?

    Because the Saints are not as bad as they played last week, because they are probably due for a break out game, and They need this far more then Pitt

    So a team is a -1.5 favorite because they are due for a win and do not need it as bad as the Steelers? Not sure the Steelers players know that?

    you left out one, do you think that NO is as bad as they have played, also they are home on prime time

    New Orleans is 14-5 SU in its last 19 games at home

    I think you should be more thrown off by the Saints only getting a PK/-1 at home. 2 months ago, the Saints with this line against anyone is a steal.

    My book has Pitt @ PK with no ML. If you're taking the +1.5, you might as well take the ML at + money. Pitt's will either win or lose, and it won't be by 1 point.
