I think the line is pretty good. I mean winning on the road is hard in the NFL. Laying a TD is very hard. I am passing. And as a Pat's fan, if I am passing, it means i really see little value in the line.
I've watched every seconds of Steelers football since I was little. Landry is HORRIBLE. When he's in there this team looks defeated before it starts. Anything could happen but no way I put money on Pittsburgh hoping for a lucky special teams back door.
a) "sharps" will ignore NE or take Pitt as the value play +7.5. This is still a good team even with the injuries. NE is a great team but you're still asking them to win big on grass on the road.
b) the public will jump all over NE and tease them to death. THis is why books like 5D protect themselves with NE -9.5 +120. Most books dont do this and NE will get throw in a ton of teasers
Landry will be asked to manage the game. Pitt will run as much as possible and just work the clock. Keep Landry from effing up the game.
NE has zero incentive to crush Pitt here and try to score 50 points. This is a team they could easily face in the playoffs and no reason to kick a team when they're down and face a major revenge scenario once they get players healthy.
For me, under 46 was a good sized play. Pitt wont score much and NE will gladly take a 21-10 win and keep players healthy
Agreed....as alot went with Cincinnati last week and lost. The only play again is New England or just pass the game. Why try to sweat it with a man on a mission against the NFL, especially against one of their heated rivals in their home stadium.
