Bengals +10.5

[WestsidePete]

First off, I bought .5 pt for Bengals +10.5 -120 2 units

This is a huge rivalry game no matter what the records are between these teams. The Steelers next game is at home vs the Giants, with the Redskins, Colts and Chargers coming up later as well. This game for them, you'd think a little let down could be coming, considering the Bengals are 0-6, and without Carson Palmer, but the Bengals have played well vs teams you'd think they shouldn't come close to beating, the Cowboys and Giants, both on the road. A couple things to look at, the Steelers are 5-10 ATS in the last 15 games after their bye week, and are 1-8 ATS in their last nine road games following a win. The Bengals will want to get their first win vs the Steelers, at the very least stay within a TD and FG at home.

I see a 30-7 game here. Steelers. Bengels are bad.

did u not see Moore against jacksonville 2 weeks ago? he did just as good as parker

[ipickwinners]

he had 116 total yards

and our defense held the jags to 213 yards.... 213 ..... thats nothing

Steelers brought their "A" game to the Jags, hell they lost to them in last years playoffs, this game will be different and just because Moore had one good game doesn't mean he's as good as Parker, you're biased here being a total Steeler fan, which I respect, this one may be a closer game then one would think just looking at the teams records.

[essbombers]

i'm playing bengals, 10 points is too many to give the bengals at home here. they'll cover.

[ipickwinners]

its pretty unfortunate that i have to be a fan of a city/nation of fans who r the biggest homers in the NFL in my opinion. but i can tell u this, i look at all games realistically and from an un biased opinion. sure im a steelers fan but that shouldnt take away the fact that the #2 defense in the league is going against a team who hasnt won a single game all year and they rank dead last in offense, and will not have their starting QB play for them. i think those few stats say it right there. i really think people over look the steelers defense, they just do things right and dont let teams put up points and or yards.

fitzpatrick comes into the game with a 57 QB rating, and 1 TD and 3 picks.... just think what the steelers r gonna do to him...at least 2 INTs and 3 sakcs i say, and maybe a forced fumble for a TO.

yes i know they r big division rivals and its in cinci, yes i know that. and the thing about Moore, i am not saying he is parker, or better than him. but if u watched the guy, he is good and is basically another parker, maybe just a step slower, but i think he has more moves than parker and gives more to the passing attack in the flats than parker

anyway, i really do believe the steelers route the bengals..... by 23 or more.....u can say its cuz im biased all u want, but its not that..... whoever u take, BOL

[ipickwinners]

btw, whoever gave me the stat about the steelers coming off bye weeks, if u go by trends so much, i hope u have seen that the steelers r 13-4 ATS AT cinci in the last 17 games..... 13-4........ playing in cinci..... if u go by trends, u need to rethink who u r going to taketrends dont mean shit in the end though, they r just a number to fck with the gamblers mind, what teams did against each other 5 seasons ago means nothing when some of the players r not even on the team anymore.... thats just my 2 cents

[ipickwinners]

but what do i know, im a biased steelers fan

[WestsidePete]

Ipick, I'm not criticizing you for being a fan, far from it, I personally don't care about either team, just looking at the angles of this game.

So far through 6 weeks there have been 10 double digit chalks...only one has covered and 5 have lost straight up, just hard to cover on the road this many pts vs a rival IMO. Anyways, GL to you this weekend.

[ipickwinners]

ur absolutely right about the double digit chalks, and home dogs... ive been getting killed on them this year. i dont ever remember the NFL being so wacky....ive only really been betting the NFL for 4 years now, but still. anyways, i just really think the steelers will put a whooping on them, bengals r a demoralized team and the steelers r on a different level than them. and people always think being on the road is a big deal, but watch tomorrows game, ull be scratching ur head wondering where the game really is, as its not that far from pittsburgh, and steeler fans are ALL over the country. there will be 50/50 steeler and bengal fans there guarenteed.

and sorry if i got too defensive about the homer thing, i just hear it way too much from other people that since im a steeler fan i must be a homer and think our team is the bestestestetset ever in the world, because we have hardcore fans, but i swear at the same time we have the dumbest. lol gl bro

No worries...and you're right, trends fukk with us in decisions, sometimes they have value and other times they are pure garbage, the Steelers have a killer schedule coming up...we can even ignore all the Steeler trends I posted, the real one is what has happened with all the double digit spreads this year...

[ipickwinners]

nice win
