But now they are still on the road but facing a much, much, MUCH tougher opponent then either Houston of Jacksonville! Ravens whacked Houston and then beatup Cincinnati! They should be 3 - 0 after Sunday. Sure they could be upset. Sht happens sometimes, and we never know about the "lucky breaks." But I'm fine with the moneyline risk here...Adding RAVENS -375

Adding LIVE bet on Dallas:  Cards lead 9 - 3.... 

Top rated team @ near bottom rated team.....line was too high to grab pre-game.....this sets up nicely for a bet on the better team to rebound

K'Boys -200  *BEST BET

Hi!

It is my firm belief the Steelers are riding a bogus high after a VERY fortuitous win  AT HOME against the BROWNS playing without CHUBB.... Meanwhile Garoppolo and the Raiders are primed for a bounceback from 2 consecutive road games - the last one an embarrassing rout albeit to a TOP 6 elite team in their park..... I dunno we should put too much into that rout-loss!  It's deceiving imo.   Raiders have a SOLID QB, and finally at home the Raider D will make likely noise all over the luckyass Steelers...... of course more lucky breaks and Ts can flip a game, but I believe Raiders win -- by 3 or more...... My opinion then is I would rather you got a smaller number because having a bit of a cushion is desirable, but 3 might be ok here...

cool  Is that more or less the way you were thinking too?

Oh man!! an_brick

Shithawks leading 9 - 3 and allow an easy TD to trail 9 - 10........then they immediately toss an INT into coverage (lucky Panthers!) at their own 32......this is likely to yield more points

K'boys are trailing now  10 - 15 but for such a powerful offense this shouldn't be a problem.....in theory, anyway.....

@fubah2

 Yes sir,

The bounceback game at home sunday night, i also had this game after handicapping the rankings almost even. Steelers barely won and also are coming off a monday game, travelling far for this game. I agree with you, i would have liked a smaller number, but I agree -3 is not bad

Yup!  Lucky Panthers can't move the ball but still get an easy 3 to go up 13 - 9 on the homies.....otherwise play is about dead even

The K'Boys are OUTPLAYING the lucky Cards but just squandered a TD opp deep.... Then allow AZ to escape up to their own 3o on 3rd and long.....

So we have to ask ourselves - in a totally OBJECTIVE & LOGICAL manner - with all emotion/euphoria set aside,  was the top rated Cowboys loss to the bottom dwelling Cardinals a "one-off"  OR  was the final score truly indicative of the strength of the teams?

 

And how much do we raise Arizona in our ratings and how much should we drop Dallas, so we can then use those new ratings effectively for the next game....

 

Next week, Dallas will be at home to Patriots....Cardinals travel to Frisco

Cleveland led 11 - 7 at the time he exited.   Obviously THAT hampered the Browns and helped the Steelers. But despite that loss of production the Browns still managed all those stats shown above against the bumbling Steeler D...

Remember, the opening pts of the game - just 10 seconds into the game - was a defensive TD after a DOUBLE-TIPPED fluky bounce ball for a pick 6

i did grab the raiders after watching the game then reading that .  thanks peace_5

 

u got a badbeat with your ravens pick but i think quite fortunate to get the packers win

gl tonite clover         raiders roll win

S  L  O  W  start tonight.....

Keep in mind for the statsheet that Steelers began with the first drive so if they finish the half in possession that means their stats may be skewed in comparison

an_lightRaiders played EVEN with the Broncos in Denver, but got steamrolled by an elite angry BILLS team coming off a horrible performance.Both those games were on the road but Sunday Night primetime they get the spotlight at home against the very lucky Steelers. Steelers had the luxury of playing 2 consecutive HOME games. They got steamrolled by an elite team, the Niners....then we all witnessed their performance on Monday night - being badly outplayed but getting incredibly lucky..... When they meet Sunday night in primetime, the Raiders will have their #2 WR back in the lineup!! And like any decent QB, I fully expect Garroppolo to bounce back with a SOLID outing! When my books put the lines up I will be all over duuhh Raaaayyyduuuhhhs for a *BEST BET

For a moment it looked like the very lucky Steelers woulg gain the first big lucky break on a fumble.

Nope.  Instead both teams EARNED their 7 points.

WOW!  FIRST BIG LUCKY BREAK goes to Pittsburgh as DB Marcus Peters drops a wide open guaranteed pick 6.

SECOND significant break also goes to the very lucky Steelers with an INT at their own 30 to snuff a scoring drive...

So that plus the dropped pick 6 by Peters.

Steelers should be down 7 pts right now....instead, as luck often has it, most likely now the lucky Steelers will march downfield and score

Two more losing bets. Turns an  8 - 5 week into a small loss overall with juice.
