Pittsburgh Steelers +3 +115 OVER 42.5 +100

I thought Denver would open as a 4.5 favorite here. At this moment, got to say Pitt is playing better ball, but as we've seen in the NFL playoffs, the biggest factor are the refs, so it's a no play, imho, unless you known which way they're going to try to rig the game. The total is too tight, I had 41.5

I need to get with IMVG, but if the MAFIA isn't involved leaning towards the Steelers.

Anyone have any thoughts on wich way the line might go? I was thinking that Denver would be favored by 4-5.

I would hate to see this get below 3, and not get a piece of it.

This statement is absolutely key! I have to start grading the teams of officials to be able to cap the NFL now. Horrible calls even after replay.

These refs were awful in both games today. What was the ref smoking who called that play a touchtown when he fumbled it? Not even close. Good thing for review(in most situations).

The Road To The Supebowl Is Clear For Denver

I didn't even see the two supposed BS calls in Denver. All I saw of the bad calls today was the INT by TP when the ref took like 3 minutes to come up with some BS explanation to rule the pass incomplete and give Manning and Colts a chance to win.

Damnit, I wish Indy had won barely. I would have taken them anything 7 and under vs. Denver.

For this matchup I think early thoughts were be Steelers just because of their defense will be better suited to shutdown Denver than vice versa. But who know's on Denver's D, they are pretty good at gambling and getting turnovers. Anything +3.5 and over I'd have to select Pittsburgh. Need to think about it some more. Still smarting after today's result when all I needed was an Indy victory basically.

i like steelers,big ben playing his best,of all qb's left in my opinion.

Hey I needed the colts,but I agree that was the
worst call i have ever seen. He made a football
move and had the ball for 4 secs.?

Happyboy ill we gotta come up with a game plan.
all of us!!

Who is more likely to manning - Cowher in the conference championship, or Plummer under pressure by a blitzing defense?
I think Pittsburgh stops the run and wins a tight, low-scoring game.

Illusion · 01-16-2006, 04:26 PM

I haven't really looked yet, but my early thoughts are the Steelers.
