Pitt Sucks balls this year.  their fans know it now.  If they dont' they are MORONS.  but Pitt has to win sometime...don't they?      I'm thinking Pitt -1 for sure. 

Pitt has to win sometime but who said it was even this season? Cheeseheads +1.

Waiting for the lines to change...

Can I get a Green Bay?

Um...team that has lost 5 in a row favored over team won 5 a row ?? could someone explain vegas logic/rationale behind this pls. ?  thx.

EASY.   uh, pitt is at home.  has lost 5 in a row.  u dont' think they can't get their stuff together at home?  really?!?!?

Pitt -1 Ea$y

GB 4-2 ATS on road this year.  Pitt 2-4 ATS at home.  ??

Green Bay's O-line has been playing very well the month, unlike the first 8 games.  Devin is right, Pitt is at home and is due.  They really do suck this year, but have good players, especially on D.  Also, with a line like Green Bay +1 and 65% on Green Bay (as expected) something tells me that Rodgers is in for a day and Pitt covers by 7+.

Green Bay - 19

Pitt - 27

fishy fishy

GB has won 5 in a row and has the NFL's best December record (53-29) since 1990.

 

 

steelers -1, wow, books are giving away money!  you cant make GB a road favorite at heinz field, moron!  this is a no-brainer, take the 'burgh, -1....

 Be careful Steeler supporters. Your offense line is really weak right now and your going up aganist a tough blitzing 3-4 defense. I expect lots of backer blitzs and activity from Packers front 7. Mike Mccarthy also is a student of the game, he knows Pitt secondary has been very disappointing, and lastly Troy P is still banged up. For me  Greenbay goes 3 and 4 wide and spreads that Pitt defense out. I just don't like Pitts vibe and team chemistry right now, weak o-line and secondary issues equal trouble. Arron Rodgers and that offense does it thing...  Packers 26 Steelers 17.

no reason why the pack should not take control here....steelers offense...oooh wait do they have one? Pack's defense is too good....

Cheese +1

27-21 green bay

GB +1: talk about shady lines, I'll bite. the Steelers need this game, but that didn't mean much vs. the Browns. I'll go with Rogers' hot hand again vs. the banged up Ward and 'hold-the-ball-too-long Rothlesberger, not to mention Troy-less defense. Score: Packers 28-Steelers 18 (5 units).

Pittsburgh play calling sucks and their clearly not the same team as last year.  Green Bay on the other hand can be very explosive and play great defense.  The main thing for them is not to take stupid penalties.  GREEN BAY

im from baltimore and hate pissburgh, its in my blood. but i gotta respect troy polamalu.. it just shows you how much he makes a difference when he plays. no troy no win.. i just hope they dont beat my boys next week..

  my pick greenbay 20 to 16....... ben rapist-burger needs to go on a diet.... fat ass

Packers +1

Pitt -1 Bounce back in a big way!

It's all about public perception.  Steelers, coming off a Super Bowl win, have a lot off casual fans (winners always do).  A lot of casual bettors see the steelers only giving only one point at home and think its gift.  They don't care that the Steelers have lost five straight or that the defense is D-less with Troy.  They just think the Steelers win games, especially at home.

Although the Pack has about 60% on Covers, I'm guessing that the split is pretty even in the real world.  Give me

GREEN BAY +1

Pittsburgh -1.5

Ewille1609--I like your takes, I;m just curious though. You always predict a team is going to score 18 points, is that a favorite number or something?

two touchdowns a field goal and a safety
