Just wondering...

FrankieCat · Dec 11, 2017

Maybe the best way to bet this Steelers team is in the second half!! They always seem to come on strong in the second half of the game!!

Betallsports · Dec 11, 2017

yeah but they lost the 2nd half

line was -1/-1.5

and ravens scored 24, Steelers 19

AngelMartin · Dec 11, 2017

Well, they are really living on the edge, 4 or their last 5 games have been comebacks won in the last seconds......I wonder if it will catch up to them sooner or later?

Pitt will beat the Patriots next week.......

AngelMartin · Dec 11, 2017

Probably, it wouldn't surprise me...another field goal at the gun....or this could be where they have the dominant game they have been missing and easily win...who knows.....

Pitt a dog at home is a joke IMO.....yes they've been playing horrid ball, but they've been big favs past couple weeks, now a home dog? This is disrespect IMO.....& the hype about the Pats road streak will come to an end in Pitt.

Let me ask ya something, and disclosure, I have my Steelas hoodie on, when you read the paper this morning, what did you see? I saw another "chip" in the win column, no mention of barely, almost, just in, on the edge, comeback, .......It's just like golf, no one really cares how you got to the score, the win is a win.

Another Milton Berle game for the Steelers.
First game of playoffs, though, I think they will blow somebody out of the stadium.

Well, I'd be lying (Would I lie to ya honey? lol) if I didn't state I have some concerns over the loss of Shazier. The man is a beast at LB and losing his contribution to the D is NOT a good thing. I'm just praying he gets well. Gonna be a tough road to travel now.

Agree losing Shazier is huge, but so many teams are also losing key players, too.
If the Steelers get Haden back they will be solid on D and I think they can get to the Super Bowl.
If Steelers play Tenn or KC for example in the first round they will take no prisoners, crush by > 20. Or Jax in a revenge game.

You're leaving out the one that scares me the most right now.......Chargers. IMO, they're gonna win the West, Andy and company have a lot of holes in the boat and the Chargers are on fire, ready to sink that ship. Rivers is on a mission, I'm making money hand over fist right now playing them. Only advantage we'd have over them is weather.

Yes, the Chargers are strong, well balanced O, a top 8 QB, and disruptive D, relatively healthy, they can give the Steelers a good game. That is why I did not put them on the blowout list. Chargers have a bit of a problem stopping the run but I am not buying into that completely.
This week, if it is > 40 degrees in KC I will go with them BIG, if it is ridiculously cold, then small.
For the Steelers, to get to the SB, CB Haden is a key, he may not be back at all, and even if so he may not be 100% in shape for awhile.

tmader7 · Dec 11, 2017

Pretty sure I'm right on this one, but only one team in the history of the playoffs has made it to the playoffs after starting 0-4. Can't remember who it was, but history is about to repeat itself.

Haden started practicing this week. With Shazier out for the season, Haden is a key to better defensive play for the Steelers. You see what a bottom ranked offense did to the Steelers defense last night!! I think the Ravens had over 150 yards rushing. And, Green Bay did the same thing to them.

SD in 92 finished 11-5 or 12-4 after starting 0-4.. Great run

mhk · Dec 11, 2017

Fired up about NE/Pitt, can't lie..

FrankieCat · Dec 11, 2017

The fans love it when the Steelers play the Bengals and the ravens! Always very physical games. But, nothing is sweeter than a Steeler victory over the patriots! Unfortunately, it doesn’t happen as often as we would like!

LMAO, knew that, just couldn't spit it out, but the bobble heads on ESPN could. These guys are gonna be dangerous, D is lights out right now and Rivers is ....well, Rivers. I wouldn't want to see them first game.
