I bet TB early and got them at +2.5. Also played the Under at 54.5. GL.

I was thinking of jumping on the under tonight as well for a small play. Could rain tonight.

Playing Pitt ML and ATS. Tempted for the under. Keep this in mind:

Over is 6-23-1 in last 30 Pittsburgh road games
Over is 4-20-1 in last 25 Pittsburgh road games in which it is favored
Over is 3-9 in last 12 Tampa Bay home games

Pittsburgh seems to be in disarray, locker room problems, defense is porous.
Tampa Bay seems to be on a roll, offense is explosive, Fitz one of the hottest QBs in the NFL.
Some will bet that Pittsburgh will revert to past season's form and win the game.
Do you want to bet on last year's teams, or this year's?
I lean to TB at this point, two teams going in different directions. Might see it as a big play later.

If this line was made before the season.

Steelers would be at least -7

Probably more knowing Fitz would be the QB

Fitzmagic works during the daytime, how about at night?

Enfuego · Sep 24, 2018

Pitt seems to be in disarray and Fitz and Tampa Rollimg. Seems to be an easy play on Tampa.

Therefore, give me Pitt all day long.

I agree sir!

I'm leaning Pitt... Will probably take them later

Bourn · Sep 24, 2018

Fitz has more career TD's than Troy Aikman in 40 less games.....

Seems too easy to play on Pitt. Sort of like playing New England last night seemed easy.

This approach just for this one, or for all games where disarray team runs into rolling team?

It's a perception thing for me in the NFL. Pitt now a 2 point dog and TB looks great. Ben sucks right now and Brown is crying. Fitz is rolling and TB can't be stopped. Why wouldn't you give the 2?

In all reality, if things started slightly different, Pitt would be -5 in this game. I'll gladly take the extra 7 points and look for a SU win. That away team wins by 7-12 at +550 looks very enticing.

So do some of you think Steelers weren’t trying hard last two and now they will? And that Tampa Bay was lucky to win in NO and at home to the Super Bowl champs?
That the Steelers D that has struggled last 1/2 of 2017 and first two this year will stop Fitz? And Ben and Brown will suddenly give a shit? And Tomlin will suddenly be a good game manager?
OK go ahead.
Bet the 2017 teams.
I like going with the 2018 versions.
I’d bet TB big but looks like rain I hate rain games so it’s a small one for me this time.
GL!
