Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos
Line/total: We opened Steelers -3 (even), Broncos +3 (-120). While the majority of the money so far is on the Steelers, we went to
2.5 flat yesterday due marketplace also dealing 2.5.
With nearly 70 percent of the action on the Steelers, I believe we'll be going to 2.5 -115 on the Steelers later today and will eventually close Steelers -2.5 -120.
We opened the total at 39 and booked sharp action earlier in the week on over 39. We went directly to 40 and, with 80 percent of the action on the over, we're currently dealing 41 on this game.
Key Injuries:
Steelers: LB Andre Frazier and RB Willie Parker have both been upgraded to probable. LB Lawrence Timmons, DE Travis Kirschke and S Ryan Clark have all been downgraded to doubtful.
Broncos - S Renaldo Hill has been upgraded to probable while DL Ryan McBean and Ryan Harris are both expected to miss.
Comments: The Steelers are struggling to cover the spread this season. They've only covered two games and One of those covers was against the Vikings two weeks ago when the Steelers returned a Brett Favre interception 82 yards for a TD with less than a minute left in the game. Take that INT for a TD away, the Steelers are an ugly 1-6 ATS this season.
The Broncos have been pointspread gold for their backers. They're 6-1 SU and 6-1 ATS, yet still don't get the respect that teams with their record usually get. They suffered their first loss and non cover last week vs the Ravens and bettors are jumping off the Broncos bandwagon and going against them in this game.
It's perfect weather in Denver tonight. Game time temperature is expected to be in the low 50s with very little wind.
Prop of the game: Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers) total passing yards - 265.5
