    Pitt has played a brutal schedule, NO hasn't beaten anyone of substance, especially away from home. The Steelers totally dominated Denver yesterday, but turnovers killed them. The Steelers will win this game if they have a TO margin of -1 or better. Defensively, there is no comparison in these teams, and Pitt's offense is actually moving the ball as well as they did last year. It's just a matter of capitalizing on opportunities, and the Saints' sieve of a defense is the perfect opponent for a blowout win.

    I took NO +6 when they opened at Pinny. Could not pass on that line. Pitt is way overrated this year. Yes they have moved the ball well on offense but way to many turnovers. Once the turnover train starts its hard to stop

    agreed. This looks a lot like matchup NO v. BAL which saints lost at HOME. Still, I am done betting on the champs..gl~

    I smell trap. I think the books want you to take the Saints. So cap carefully.

    Im running behind since the trip last weekend, I have yet to cap any of the football games this weekend. So Im not sure on this one as of yet.

    If it's a trap onlooker, then consider me trapped.

    This Steelers team is done this year, and has absolutely no direction at all this year. They give up Stupid penalties, and just don't have any sort of direction at all this year.
