Pittsburgh at Tennessee (12/21/2008)

I would love to take the Steelers SP. The fact is they already clinched a playoff spot and I don't know if home field advantage is all that important to them. They certainly will get a bye.  I'm probably wrong on this one... Take the Steelers SP don't be swayed by my pick you'll regret it big time if the Steelers win this one.

oh and then you said over in the Cowboys/giants

Tenn. won 7 of last 10 meetings.

rice rider? you must be from either out west or from the south because your slang is fucken stupid? alot of times i ll go against the everyday people in here. that doesnt mean i wager on all of what i post. u are aloud your opinion thats alright. whether you play 20 bucks a game or 500 it doesnt matter to me. i know what i have at years end. thats what matters most. c ya

just like if CLE can beat NYG, then PIT will STOMP NYG 2 wks later? just like if the Jets can beat TEN in TEN, then they will STOMP DEN at home right? just like if JAX loses to CHI and GB whooped CHI, then GB should STOMP JAX right?

be careful having opinions on games based on this stuff, it's the NFL, big mistake

i'm laying off this game, but if i were to play it, i would take TEN....mainly b/c PIT is such a huge pub pick

since i've come on here and started reading a lot of these posts, i've had a much better indication of what public yahoos are on, and what smarter cappers are on....going against the pub on this site has given me a 25-4 record the past 4 wks, i've never seen anything like it...last wk, MIN, JAX, DAL, and HOU were money since i saw around 70+% on ARZ, GB, NYG, and TEN

the hardest thing to do in the NFL is understanding the fact that capping games based on #s, players, motivation, etc does not work...otherwise, we wouldn't get so many surprises...every year, you hear ppl say, "what a crazy yr in the NFL"...but is it really that crazy when it happens every yr? i mean, everything on paper told you to take Zona at home only laying 3 against one of the worst qbs in the lg...look what happened

just expect the unexpected....which means either take TEN or lay off

Who cares if Tenn won 7 of last 10. The last time they played was in '05 and Pitt won 34-7. The time they met before that was in '03.

Pitt is 6-1 on the road. Tomlin is also a good coach. He's the first Pitt coach to ever win at least 10 games in his first two years and the first to ever win 2 division titles in his first two years.

Who cares about first half records unless you're only betting the first half.

I'm pretty sure Pitt is afraid of Tenn either. They have faced much better offenses than Tenn. Look at their schedule. Tenn running backs are good but Pitt will stop the run and force Collins to beat them.

As I said earlier, Pitt is 6-1 on the road and they've played tough games all year. Again, look at the schedule.

Pitt has a great defense. They haven't let a team get 300 yards on them all year. They're almost #1 across the board in every defensive category. (Minn. just took the #1 rush D). Tenn D is good but not when they lose Haynesworth and Vanden Bosch.

Home field is huge this time of year but Pitt did just go into Baltimore and beat them and into New England before the Dallas game.

That anemic Steelers offense has been facing good Defense's the whole season. After this week, 7 of they're 15 games would've been against defenses that are ranked in the top 7 in the league in total D (Balt twice, Phil, Tenn, Wash, NYG, and Dal). And they only average a field goal less than the high-powered Tenn offense who will have played 7 of their 15 games against teams rated 21st or less in total D (Hou twice, Cle, Det, Green Bay, KC, Cin). If you wanna go into more detail, 9 of their 15 games would be against teams rated 17 or higher in total D.

 I dont go into detail like that really.  You are looking at statistics which sometimes fools you.  If your reading what i am saying is that they have beaten them before, they are playing at home, the coach plans well, the Steelers are coming off tough games.  I look at the spread and when Titans are 12-2, why are they getting points.  Pitts has a bigger fan base and they will take it up to 3, which looks funny the way I look at it.

and stop copying everything i say like a little kid.

not you stalker,  Rice rider guy, he knows who he is

I think Pitt has to be the call here... The two run stuffers are out for Tennessee.  and the line is already moving to that magic number of 3. Haynesworth is a HUGE part of that defense-- he just brings that element to the team (like Ray Lewis with Balt) that you just can't replace.  last year when Haynesworth went out Tennessee fell apart-

and an NFL team being 11-3 ATS is ridiculous already... the law of averages will catch up with them this weekend!!!

I know. That's why I didn't respond. GL on your bets.

yea f g boy is talking about me cause hes a loser whos still sucken on his mommys nipple. lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll if u faded me this week youd be down cause im up. so shove it  hick
