ML on Pitt

hamburglar628 · 12-04-2007, 04:24 PM

I think this is the game the Pats lose. Pitt is the most physical team in the league and they are basically going to do the same thing the Ravens did except better. It's going to be in NE, and I would love this line even more if theres snow or even winds. Steelers will run the ball all over the Pats, and hopefully don't give up the game in the last few minutes. Does anyone have a good site for the ML on the Steelers in this game?

As a Pats fan, I will probably be on both Pitt +whatever and Pitt ML. The linebackers look beat the hell up.

Is this the week the Pats lose? Do they rebound like most
thought they would after the Eagles game?

Personally I $150 on the Pats covering against the Eagles
and $275 on MNF (Pats -12 ... over 39)

So as you could tell i'm getting beat up recently due to my
front running. My other bets have been pulling through (I teaser'd GB +14 over 44.5 ) as well as Jax +14 over 38.

Any thoughts about a teaser on this game?
I would really hate to take the Steelers and watch them get
blown out (especially after i had them ATS vs NYJ)

Predicted final score ? Will weather conditions in Heinz field be a factor?

Man, if Pittsburgh can find a way to make conditions of the field 9 hours a way a factor, I will tip my cap and applaud.

Game's in NE.

haha, in your dreams Steeler fans, your team a fraud and will get blown out by 20+. The most physical team in the league, is that what you think of the steelers, the pats will pick them apart. They can't win on the road, the Steelers are a F-R-A-U-D. Give me a break, they lost to the jets.

I think thou protest too much. However, meanness does often beget meanness, so, I hope you bet a ton of money on that statement above. A ton.

At the risk of making the "genius" above sound slightly less genious - or has he done that for himself? hmmm ...

The Steelers play much the same ball game as the Ravens - rushing offense, tough defense - only the 9-3 Steelers do it better. The weaknesses of the Patriots have been exposed - not they haven't been there to see all along ifanyone was looking. The Pats rush defense isn't good - it hasn't been all season; however, opposing teams have not had the defense necessary to hold off the Patriots potent offense, and have therefore gotten so behind in points that they've abondoned the run and are forced to the air, thus allowing the Pats to appear to have a rush defense that they don't really have. The Ravens holding the Pats last night on their first possession to a field goal was critical to them being able to implement their running game, allowing the then 4-7 Ravens to come within a timeout of winning that game. The Pats were clearly outplayed last night.
The Steelers will employ this same game plan - only they will do it better.

Genius - clearly the Dallas/Steelers rivalry and the fact that the Steelers have owned your 'boys so many times in the past has clouded your judgement and seemingly made you a little angry. It's a shame, too, because when the Steelers look at their 5 Lombardi's, for a few of them, I'm sure they say a little thanks to your guys

Last time I checked the Steelers won 4 superbowls(last one does not count because the refs are the really champions of that game). Who cares how the Steelers play, because outside of your hick-town Pitt they are an average team. Say hello to cousin Ed on the farm for me.

Geography lesson:

Pittsburgh is a major metropolitan city where I don't live.

Football Lesson:

If they hand the owner the Lombardi, that means their team won the super bowl.

Counting lesson:
2 of their 5 super bowl wins are courtesy of the Cowboys - Neil O'Donnell gave the boys that last one as pity gift.

The Steelers became the first team ever to defeat the top three seeded teams on the road in the playoffs (#3 Cincinnati, #1 Indianapolis, #2 Denver. In addition, the team became the first sixth-seeded team to reach both a conference championship game and the Super Bowl since the NFL expanded to a 12-team playoff format in 1990.

Nope, nothing to be proud of there.

You know, genius, you really are kind of amusing.

Alright answer this question, did the steelers win that superbowl legitimetly?

Every single team has had calls made both for and against them; however, the better team overcomes the officiating and wins. There was more than one bad call made against Pittsburgh on their road to Super Bowl XL, but, as the better team, they overcame the bad calls and won. Every team gets bad calls - last night typified that - but, against a quality team, those calls aren't game winners or game breakers - they are merely latent excuses for not being good enough.

The AFC has been in recent years the stronger of the two conferences. The Steelers' road to Super Bowl XL was a much tougher march than the Seahawks' road and the better team won that game on Ford Field.

Just want to say, as a Cowboys fan myself (in Pittsburgh, no less), I don't claim this genius fella as one of my own.
