Steelers rank #1 in the NFL in sacks and yards per pass. Sounds like you know your garbage. |

The more people saw the Jets shredding the Steelers' "prevent defense" in the 2nd H, the more the line went > Green Bay.
It's now Pitt +2.5 +105.
I am now contemplating my initial Pitt SB victory after what the Jets were able to do in the 2nd H, passing wise (e.g. Seattle exposing Chi-town, 2nd H). Remember, both AZ and Seattle had plenty of opportunities to win the game outright vs Pitt in their SB match-ups.
However, if the line goes to 3, Pitt should definitely be considered. (Barring any major injuries.)
Note: I believe they were 6.5 pt faves vs AZ and 4 pt faves vs Seattle.

GB won THREE road games vs the TOP three seeds.
Pitt was life and death at home vs the BOTTOM two seeds.
GB is clearly the hotter team, getting much public love and playing great. They should be favored

If you feel that the Falcons and Bears are better than the Ravens and Jets, you need a Pap smear.

The Falcons beat the Ravens, and the point could definitely be argued.

Do you always feel the need to overcompensate and disrespect others? The person was just giving their opinion. Show some respect. Thanks.

Then why in the darn weren't YOU the one posting WHEN THEY OPENED pk +110!?
You chastise me for re-evaluating my original thought--when the line is in a questionable outcome parameter (< or > 3 with 2 evenly matched teams).
They didn't set the line at PK for no reason, MORON!

Actually I am an activist, politically. The govt-corporatocracy takeover is our (US citizens') biggest threat, along with terrorism.
By the way, take Pitt +2.5 +105 rather than +126 on the ML (assuming you are betting at Pinnacle). A mathematically better bet, obviously.

On first though, I would agree with that. I don't know how large of a sample size you would need to figure it out, maybe two seasons? I would make a snap judgment and say that +2.5 at +105 is better than +126 (that number seems a bit low) but I wonder if the points out weight the +.20 cents?

Buying 2.5 points from a ML @ +126 would equate to less than a +2.5 +105 payback. My book(s) are 10 cents for every point purchased.
Figuring the usual 6-8 cents with Pinny, it would convert to around +110 on the ML in comparison.
Individual (non-related) probabilities are basically in the eye of the beholder. There is no sample size to directly match-up these to teams (i.e. Pittsburgh) into a mathematical equation from PK to a ML.
Just basic "Pinnacle" math points to Pitt +2.5 +105 over Pitt ML +126. It's a no-brainer.

You would think so, but the priced charged per point/half point doesn't have anything to do with how valuable those points are. It still costs you the same amount to buy from 7 to 7.5 as it does 1 to 1.5 in most cases.
It wouldn't be about the two teams matching up, but how often historically those points would have made a difference in the outcome of a wager vs the +.2x you would gain on the moneyline.

Good luck with whatever side you choose.
Based on past Super Bowl results (small sample size), I would surmise it will NOT fall within the 0 to 2.5 Pitt loss.
But over a large W/L historical NFL point differential pattern...give the the +2.5! (Lost too many 1-pt games.)
But I am waiting for the key # 3!

Like minds think alike!
I take so long to hunt and peck--under the influence--that I didn't read this until after I posted.
Buying off of 3 or 7 is 20 cents (off-shore), and most books in Nevada won't even sell them.
Let's just hope we're both on the same victorious side and that it lives up to the over-anticipated hype.

The two "Bottom Seeds" Balt & NY were much better than the Colts & Chiefs. That statement means nothing. |
