I sucked up the vip contest royally but my big future bet on pittsburgh came in. I also forgot I put $150 to win on pitt and sold a point at -4.5 for +101. woo happy happy days.

Hell of a game. The spread bet was still up for grabs until the very end.

you won imgv, I would have if I picked Pitt 2nd half, but I thought they would have a larger halftime lead and took Seattle +2, but I won't get any money because my tiebreaker rushing yardage was way off and there was like a 6 way tie for second

Steeler's had a horrible game plan at the beginning of the game. They looked so stiff I thought they all had a 4 ft rod shoved up their ass. Cowher came out playing scared and Pitt could have been blown out.

thank you BBD.
Not sure how Pitt won that game...they couldn't have played any worse yet managed to win by DD. NFL favs kicked ass all year and it took me till the final game to bet one. Should have learned earlier but as the saying goes, if you can't beat them join them.

I did pick Steelers and 4 points and the under. I am still not a happy camper for many of reasons.

Not a bad game, better than most. I got so lucky on my NO three scores by same team in a row. Miracle Seattle interception saved me.

Seriously, I was on Pittsburgh in this game but it was plain to see that without some "close" flags the Steelers would have had some real problems winning the game.
Something was definitely wrong with the way the football was coming off of Ben's hand. His hand was not even close to 80%. The best throw of the game was by Randel El. Polamalu was also far from being full throttle.

Even worse I was going to win $200, but then had it taken away by a grading error

You got that right. The first score of the game should of been a Seattle TD. Pass Interference my ass. If anything there should of been illegal contact on pittsburgh before that touchy call.
Anyway, congrats to the Steeler backers. Somehow you guys pulled that one out.
