:think2:I was shocked to see how many points the Steelers were favoured by. The way I interpret it is that the books are begging you to put $ on Baltimore. I would've capped the game starting at -2.5 Steelers.

Hello Chief...
Please don't take this the wrong way my friend, however, why were you "shocked" to see Pittsburgh open as a -5 or -5.5 point favorite at home against Baltimore and why or how would you have capped the game at only Pittsburgh -2.5?
A check of past results shows that Pittsburgh has defeated the Ravens twice this year, have defeated the Ravens 3 of the last 4 times they have met, and have defeated the Ravens 7 of the last 8 times Baltimore has visited Pittsburgh...
...the odds maker made the Pittsburgh Steelers a home favorite of -5, -9, -4, -13, -5.5, -5, and -8 the last seven times Baltimore played in Pittsburgh....why would the oddmaker make a lesser line this time?
Take care and be well

ten game?
zjp - i'm on Pitt (got them at -3, -165), but Pitts Offense will not hum like it did vs. SD. As you know, two diff D's they will be up against. I think Pitt will be able to move the ball still and I really don't see the Ravens O doing to much here.
