Are any Pittsburgh bettors nervous that Pinny is holding the line on -3.5 and on ML?

I noticed that too. There are some sports that a Pinny opinion would cause me concern but not here. I have noticed(no exact stats) that they seem a lot sharper in college hoops, NBA and college football than NFL in last year or two anyway.

Pinnacle moves on action. They opened Pitt -3, immediately went to -3½. According to Pinnacle they took large bets on both sides.

If you like Pitt, bet it now. The line will only go up.

Well they took big action on Pitt at -3 then moved to Pitt -3.5 and have taken 2-way to this number as of this time.

You can bet that the number will go higher as Pitt is the Public Team here and that will show down closer to game day. Now as far as Pitt being the right side, who knows?
IF there was ANY wiseguy money to this game it got played at -3, so IMO ONLY John Q Public remains.

Now heres something to consider also. Lets just say that the "buy back" group was the group that moved the number in the first place and they are just waiting and hopeing for the public to drive the number to lets say Pitt-4.5 which is possible, and they get to take the +4.5 for ALL there money. Now they have Pitt -3 going for themselves for the SIDE, and 4 for the middle, wiht only the juice invested and getting the FREE number of 4 going for them for BOTH sides!

Everyone ealse has 4. If they are keeping it at 3.5, that means they don't want to give that extra half point to Seattle. Meaning they have an opinion that Seattle will win or cover.

Do you think the ML will follow the spread, or will it be like the AFC/NFC Champ games where the dog money comes in on the ML, pushing them out of whack?

I have already seen the ml on Seattle slowly rise. I have huge profit on Pitt so I will be waiting until close to kickoff and expect the Money line to slowly rise as the people's team is Pitt ... not the remote NW Seahawks. I'm not saying anything about who will win the game... Just stating the obvious... Steelers are way more the " People's choice " than Seahawks ! Game is in Bettis's home town and late $$ should pour in on Steelers IMHO

Didn't they do the exact same thing with one of the playoff games? They were right on that one also!

I never deal in what has happened in the past ! Pinny is sticking their neck way out on this one and they are taking a big chance ! They must already be getting one way action as they have raised the juice to - 111 and I expect the line or juice to continue to rise
I am just heading out on the town to check to see what the rest of the Las Vegas Books are doing

Well on the Live Lines right here at the ole Rx i see 2 spots and BIG spots they are i might add are still 3.5, but the rest are ALL 4.
Now this number that you see at 4.5 is probably not as big a shop as the ones here on the Live Lines and you might even see this thing go to 5.5 in the smaller shops. I myslef have a hard time seeing this number go beyond the 3.5 to 4.5 range....JMHO !

Ahhhhhh i see where you see that now. I think they take 2 dimes or soemthing there, if that much. Oly and some other offshore joints take much much MORE. But the Las Vegas shop is probably one sided to the game at this time and trying to get some money on the dog and DONT mind giveing up the number of 4, cause Everyone there is on the Fav anyway!
