But the Steelers aren't even good.. they played like crap vs. JAX, CLE (for 6 out of 8 quarters), and TB. But sure, take them because Tomlin and Big Ben are good in primetime games. Oh well, I'll probably be wrong because this is, after all, the NFL, but no way in hell I would lay points with PIT in this situation. NO WAY.

Great point Vet!

Thanks for the insight!

My play exactly....

I like the under as well bc both teams are going to pound the rock.... plus Pitt on a night game on grass should be low scoring.... I feel like 50 is a great number to take the under at....

On the sides.... Houston defense really impressed vs indy by getting burnt early and then making an unbelievable comeback to just fall short.... that was on the road.... same thing with dallas.... we all know now that Dallas is real deal and Houston kept them to 17 points for most 9f the game until OT.....

After the performance in Cleveland I have to go with the road dawg....

Houston +8.5 under 50 2-team tease....

GL to all!!!

Houston and the Over

Over 44 is the safe play.

But in the end I still think the Steelers will get the W

why? Houston is one dimensional on offense. they can only run the ball. Fitzpatrick is a game manager, a bad one at that. their defensive front may keep the Texans in the ball game but they also give up a lot of yardage..

Steelers will run the ball effectively, and Antonio Brown will have a field day on the Texans secondary

Steelers win by 6...

Get dat sh!eeet

Congrats Steelers and Over backers

Sip on that plus money honey!

Jesus H Christ! Texans control almost the whole first have then became a turnover machine in the last couple of minutes before the half!!! WTF?!?!?!

This should've been an outright win hadn't the Texans imploded. Oh well, onto next week. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Titans be giving them points at home.
