    "Following a heart-stopping, 37-36 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, several Steelers captains said they weren't even thinking about the playoffs. Here's the kicker: if the 7-7 Steelers beat the 8-6 Ravens this Sunday at Heinz Field, they may actually control their playoff destiny heading into their regular-season finale Jan. 3 in Miami. For that to happen, the Jets, Jaguars, Broncos and Texans have to lose this Sunday; all are underdogs in those games. If such a scenario transpires, the Jets, Jaguars and Texans could finish no better than 8-8 and the Broncos would do no better than 9-7. If the Steelers win out, the Dolphins would finish 8-8 at best, and the Ravens would finish no ..."

        If the Steelers don't make the playoffs, you pay me 50.

        If they do, I pay you 100.
        That's an excellent bet. Pitt beating Baltimore and then winning at Miami has only a 30% chance of happening. Even if Steelers do win out, they could still miss the playoffs. Overall, the fair value on this bet is roughly 5 -1.

          The BOOKS are Giving Pittsburgh just as much RESPECT as Denver to make it to playoffs and Denver's in the drivers seat!!! As of now BOOKS are saying Ravens 5th seed Pittsburgh or Denver as the 6th the remaining AFC contenders SNOWBALLS CHANCE IN HELL!! After all the BOOKS are the real PRO'S here

            Some words of advice: those of you that rely on odds as a major factor to your wagering decisions You need to re think and ASK yourself WHY?
            Moral of the story: learn to become versatile and use bits&pieces of all information and your record in sports investing will dramatically improve I guarantee it.

              All I know is that you could get more than 2-1, by simply parlaying Pitt ML over the next two weeks. You made a sucker bet.

                      Points or cash, 2-1 on the Steelers is a poor bet. Don't take my word for it though, check out 5-Dimes' odds. Now at +475, Pitt wouldn't be a bad bet at all IMO.


                      2213 Pittsburgh makes playoffs +475
                      2214 Pittsburgh won't make playoffs -825

                                    The way they've been playing I don't like their chances of winning out.

                                          If my Texans had won 2 of the 5 games they had blown this year, then this wouldn't even be an issue.

                                                I doubt it sir cause Troy is on his way back and when he does comeback it will be a 180 degree turn around for the Steelers De!!! I GUARANTEE IT!!!

                                                  better luck next year sir although I put a $2:00 wager at 35,000 to 1 odds on them to win super bowl cause if they some how sneak into the place offs I think they would play Colts or Chargers well

                                                          Aaron is worth more than Troy. but you are a fringe fan that doesn't think about a guy like smith or the "oldness' of Casey and lack of alan and a real center,
