    NFL Bookmaker prop "Will Either team score 3 unanswered times"

    Am I missing something here? This means will either team score 3 times without the other team scoring..correct? They have it -165 for Yes and NO at +135 in the Jets/steelers. Is this a or am I missing something here. I mean 2 tough defenses that may only score 3X over the course of the game which means there would need to be a shutout for this prop to get yes. Am I suffering some type of massive brain cramp and missing something here?

    Steelers get 3 FG in a row, or 2 fg and a TD, not unheard of. Jets may not even score also

    That's a good line if you are betting No but I wouldn't be surprised if Steelers scored three straight times on us today.

    took this bet twice...one of the most stressful bets out there. The extra point for the TD doesn't count. Good luck.

    Certainly possible, but these 2 defenses are stout while the offenses aren't exactly the 2007 pats. And for a team to score 3 straight just seems really unlikely in my mind. I mean a team could score 2, but the other team just has to score a field goal to reset . IDK, leaning towards betting the no confidently. Would like to hear what others think.

    Go back and look at the boxscores for four or five weeks of NFL games and I think you'd be surprised at how often this does occur. You might be onto something, however, if you jump on this at the right time. On the surface, no one is thinking the Jets are going to score very often and Pittsburgh has been having trouble getting into the end zone, too, so if there's one game where the "no" stands a good chance this week, a lot of people probably would point to Jets-Steelers.

    alright, just looked at the schedules and I'm looking for this game to play out like the 2 Bal-Pit games. Each had a combined 5 scores with neither team scoring 3 unanswered.

    Ya absolutely, I'm not saying this happens often, but specifically for this match up, the "NO" looks really good.

    I would say stick to the under if you think it will be such a defensive struggle. 8 of the Jets 13 games have had 3 straight scores. Even the 9-0 loss to GB. 4 games had 4 straight and one of those both teams had 4 straight.

    This is a bet the books probably love. Most people think to bet no and if you don't you lay a ton of juice.

    BOL whatever you do.

    niceeeee, big 3rd down stop by Pitt, looks like the jets will punt...........good punt with pitt taking over inside the 5.....unless pitt turns the ball over here, looking pretty good.

    trust me i used to think like this when I first started betting, the only time when this is a good bet is actually a shootout because nobody can get stops

    I did some of these bets and found out hard way there is no edge here. If book is giving +++ value that means it has less chance of hitting.

    lol, you guys do realize I lost this bet on some fluke shotgun draw in own endzone where someone just completely whiffed on a block and turned into a safety. But ya, this was definitely more of a toss up than I thought.

    1st & only time I saw this bet. SB Colts vs. Bears. Bears opening kickoff TD.
    Manning easily made me lose what I thought was a 'lock' type of bet; getting 1600 to my dime too.
    Never thought that scoring 3 in a row was that common.

    Except when Manning, Vick or Brady is playing, I'd take this prop every time. Slow learner.

    of course you were in great shape at that point, but point is lucky to get to there. Basically even though it says 3 in a row once somebody score it is 2 in a row, so you have to stop somebody from scoring two in a row 5 or 6 times in a game it usually does not come in. It actually comes in more in high scoring games like it did in the Pats game last night. Usually the only time it is a good bet is when it is over +200

    Whoa, i just noticed this bet for the same matchup -- Jets/Steelers for the AFC championship..... ooooohhhh mannn.... i so wanna take the no +135. you'd think for a championship game the Def is gonna be really motivated to stop you from scoring 3 in a row..
    i feel like a fish being reeled in.
