Steelers -4.5 at NYJets. Is this biggest trap line ever?!?!

[ManOfValue]

smells very fishy like when you're down on a girl and you say to yourself where the fukk has this taco been? Proceed with caution.

lmao, amen!

[ManOfValue]

Agreed.

jets are awfulhome field means nothing, they play worse at home if anything. but: they are also the classic team to cover when the whole planet is on the obvious pick... Shoulda beat packers but blew it (covered) . Jets were a score away from tying peyton but that pick 6 screwed vegas (it happens but clearly jets were suppose to cover but uncontrollable)... And the one no1 mentioned.. How about missing a game winning a fg against the patriots. Then boom u take the jets -3 against buffalo, sounds logical and jets shit the bed. Steelers might just be the hottest team/offense in nfl as of last few weeks and the jets are an absolute joke. Pitt is on fire going into a 1-8 team. Whole planet gonna be on pitt and i guarantee the line doesn't budge to 6 because they are begging u to take pitt.. Jets are the classic team that as soon as u claim them pathetic, they play a team thats on fire and they play a close game or win. Or hey maybe im crazy. We'll all see sunday. I live for these games. Books don't just wanna give money away, when obvious picks like this happen and the number doesnt budge i'm all over it. Possibly best bet of the year

jets ml small/ spread biggggg

Nothing has changed personnel wise except for Byrant playing more and Wheaton less. Let them prove themselves on the road before anointing them anything more than just a good team, if Steelers don't improve their road play, they probably won't make playoffs.

They play 3 more teams with winning records and 2 are at home. Also this not all about the steelers atleast half of this spread belongs to a 1-8 team. So if we are gonna talk home and away let's talk about the Jets at home..19 19 17 17 and 23

[House]

Series History: Series began in 1970
Overall Regular Season: Steelers lead, 17-4
At Pittsburgh: Steelers lead, 7-1
At New York: Steelers lead, 10-3
Neutral Sites: n/a
Streak: Steelers won previous two meetings

I LIKE HISTORY .......

[Tommy Blingshyne]

Also the 2014 version of the nfl is nice and square. The guy sitting on the barstool that says "that looks easy, I'll take it" is winning this yr. exhibit A indy over giants

yeah but then you have those exhibit B games like indy over pittsburgh that leaves you looking like derp???? what had happened tho?

Oh no doubt, I am not disputing that. All I am saying is that Steelers -4.5 on the road is not some great value like some people are making it sound, there is nothing "trappy" about this number.

[MindGames]

Sharps are all over Jets.. Books won't be that lopsided.

Exactly.. And just when it looks like Pitt is the easy play, watch the Jets pull the upset. Personally, don't like the Jets and their obnoxious fans. However, not sure if this team shows up or if they tank the rest of its games with Rex as a lame duck coach and gone by the end of year.

[RavensFan2k3]

Last year Pitt got its first win of the season vs The Jets after going like 0-6 or so...Maybe jets win for the first time since week 1?

[lakerboy]

line is -3.5 now. sharps hammering the jets

[bosigga]

Sometimes the outcome is as simple as it looks

Pitt or nothing here for me. Maybe it is a trap and they do struggle or Jets surprise everybody...but I can't put my money on the Jets

[jayson311]

Jets still +6 in bovada for anyone wanting to bet them

[SmittyZ28]

Great points by everyone but what is missing here is that Jets have not fielded a pass defense this bad in quite some time. 24 TDs given up through the air this season, the next closest teams are washington and houston with 18, they are on pace to give up close to 50 ans the Steelers coming in red hot.

Got 3.5 -110 on the Steelers, yes please

[mtofell]

Lets try this. Anyone listen to Bob Scucci on the Behind the Bets ESPN podcast? Mr. Scucci has mentioned on this program more than one time that when setting his line he is trying to make it low enough on the dog that the "sharps" won't slam it and high enough on the favorite so the public won't slam it.

Given that making the Jets a very low +4.5 dog Vegas (I think) is showing a concern about too much "sharp" money coming in on the Jets and is fighting it off with a low number. And would welcome all the public money they can get on Pittsburgh at -4.5. Me thinks Vegas likes the Jets. JMHO and nothing more.

The Scooch Podcast comes out every Wednesday and is a must-listen for anyone even remotely interested in sports betting. Scooch and Chad are great and drop endless pearls of wisdom. It can be found on ESPN website, Podcenter, etc.

As for this game I thought PIT was the steal of the week. After reading this thread I'm a bit less excited but will likely still thrown down on them. The Jets are just terrible and the whole franchise is in chaos.

Sitting on 20 mil and doing nothing to improve this secondary is the number 1 reason the GM needs to go.

Steelers are like 6-0 after prime time victories over Ravens since 2000

[str]

Trap = not understanding the line, so skepticism is brought into the equation as to the honesty of the sport or the linesman so as to not shed light on the fact that someone simply does not understand it.

Kind of like when a horse "bounces".

That is code for I have no clue what happened but my numbers can't not wrong so it must be the horses fault. Lol.

No such thing as traps.

[jetsmets31]

We shall see the jets are due lol

[jetsmets31]

Thanks for information

[jetsmets31]

Probably up go 5 by game time it will be like a home game for Steelers

[meader99]

I don't believe this is true..... Got a source?

[StackinGreen]

If it's a trap, easy, go the other way

I live in southern Nevada and have worked as a ticket writer in several major sportsbooks. Vegas sportsbooks do not EVER set trap lines. This concept is just all kinds of stupid.

I trained race horses for 27 years.

When you tell people what you or I just said, they call you crazy.

Unreal.

Thanks for validating .

Hopefully it helps somebody.

It is DOWN to 3.5

[BettingWizard]

If the Steelers were a stock, I would be selling all my shares right now. Jets have hit rock bottom, so it's like a penny stock you throw a 100 bucks on

I love stock on sale.....Jets ML.

[Rich Boy]

Jets +4.5 for me

[MoneyLineDawg]

Jets fan here....We aren't as bad as perception but Pitt's passing game is going to cause some real problems....2 huge issues this year have sunk the team, QB play (turnovers) and CB play (Not causing any turnovers or covering anybody)

I think the Jets will be able to move the ball fine, just like they have all season......But their problems on offense are turning the ball over and redzone efficiency....2 Major issues that they haven't fixed

Over would be my play.....could easily see both teams in the high 20s if the Jets can covert a few redzone trips

[Andy117]

Again, no one mentioned that all Pittsburgh dominant performance were at home, they have not been good on the road.

This game might be a bit of home away from home game for Pittsburgh. Jets fans have been cashing out on their tickets.

As long as Pitt is smart enough to go pass heavy in this game they should win. The Jets pass D is atrocious.

[ByeShea]

Probably up go 5 by game time it will be like a home game for Steelers

Agreed. Expect a huge steelers showing.

[MarcusPaige]

And let me repeat I have no side on this game, so if the Steelers do explode again, so be it. It wouldn't cost me a thing. But I would not be so anxious to give more than a field goal on the road until they prove they can do it.

After they prove they can do it, you won't get the Steelers -3.5 against a team as shitty as the Jets.

Congrats on the dumbest post in 3 pages. Curious to see how your penny stock grows??? You did after all equate a 2-1 money line to a penny stock, what an idiotic statement.

[BettingWizard]

a 1-8 team in the NFL is basically like a penny stock.....sorry you're bad at spotting sarcastic analogies

dumbest post in this thead, besides yours, was the guy who says vegas doesn't ever set traps
