Pittsburgh @ TENNESSEE
TENNESSEE +6½ -105 over Pittsburgh
[FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important]Yesterday in the NFL was a good reminder that the results in this league can change dramatically from week to week. It's hard to explain how Cincinnati can look so dreadful against Cleveland and then go out and defeat the Saints in New Orleans by the worse defeat that the Saints suffered at home in 10 years. Meanwhile, Cleveland gets whacked by Houston, Denver scores 7 points on St. Louis, San Diego barely gets by the Raiders and the 'Skins lose by 20 at home to Tampa Bay. Oh, and by the way, if you bet the 49ers and [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important]cashed your ticket, consider it an early Christmas gift because that ticket should've been ripped up 10 times over. That brings us to the Steelers, a [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important]team that is as schizophrenic as any team in this league, capable of both impressive wins and grating losses. Ben Roethisberger's [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important]magical tour of the record book only lasted two weeks while he was busy throwing six scores on the Colts and Ravens. He settled down to only one touchdown and 343 yards in New York versus the Jets and threw his first two interception day. Despite his eye-popping stats at home, Big Ben has only thrown for five touchdowns over his five road games. Take away those two monster home games and his numbers look as pedestrian as always. The Steelers are hugely banged up on defense. They have several replacements making their first start and even when they're healthy they can't be trusted giving away road points.
[/FONT][/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=arial !important][FONT=arial !important]The Titans are very much like the Buccaneers in that this was supposed to be a year in which they made some noise and competed for a playoff spot. That's not going to happen but we're starting to see some positives recently. First, that 21-7 loss in Baltimore last week in Zach Mettenberger's first road start was very misleading. The Titans took the opening kickoff in that game, moved methodically down field in very impressive style and then fumbled once they got inside the-three yard line. They subsequently forced the Ravens to punt and moved downfield again in their second possession and scored a TD to take a 7-0 lead. The Titans would not score again but their defense played extremely well and you could see that Mettenberger had poise, not to mention a great arm. This now becomes the Titans “Super Bowl”. They will not be more jacked up the rest of the year than they will be for this one. They have a chance to make life miserable for the Steelers while picking up a win and some respect in front of the entire country. Monday Night Football is lined with dozens of road favorites that failed miserably when they were supposed to win easy. Fact is, the Steelers are just a very average and banged up team that is being asked to lay points in a prime time Monday nighter and that's something we'll attempt to take full advantage of. We're calling the upset but find a sweet line at Sportsinteraction of +6½ and we're jumping all over it.

Welcome to Ecks & Bacon for Monday, November 17, 2014 (Benjamin Eckstein)
Pittsburgh Steelers
Thinking about using the Steelers -6 points over the Titans this evening. Why? Two words, Zach Mettenberger. Tell me more Eck. Well, Zach is a rookie QB, and since Dick LeBeau returned as defensive coordinator in 2004, Pittsburgh is 18-2 against rookie signal-callers. Pretty nice number huh. Here's another pretty nice number if you're with me on Pitt, and it says that Tennessee has covered ONLY three of its last 17. The number is even worse at home where the Titans have covered just one of the last 12. That's an 18% cover rate overall, and 8% at home. UGLY! And if you're worried about the Steelers stinker against the Jets, DON'T. They were coming off a three game winning streak, a HUGE division win over the Ravens, and really never paid attention to Rex Ryan's crew. Gimme half a Benjamin on Pitt.

100% ATS NFL Monday Night Knockout Play
Play - Pittsburgh Steelers
Edges - Steelers: 6-0 ATS last six with double revenge-exact; and 9-0 ATS away off SU away loss with revenge. Titans: 0-5 ATS Monday Nights off SU loss versus .500 or greater opponent; and 0-5 ATS last five home off away. With Tennessee having been out-gained in each of its last six games this season, and just 1-9 SU and 1-8-1 ATS in its last ten games in which they are outstatted, we recommend a 3-unit play on Pittsburgh. Thank you and good luck as a always.

Complimentary CBB Pick for November 17th, 2014
Game: Oakland Golden Grizzlies @ Eastern Michigan Eagles
Time: Monday 11/17 7:00 PM Eastern
Pick: Eastern Michigan -4.5 (-115) at BetOnline
Eastern Michigan won their tuneup while their opponent in this one, the Oakland Grizzlies, suffered a defeat in their opener. I think the huge advantage on this Eastern Michigan will be their imposing size inside, where games are typically won or lost. Mike Samuels (6-foot-11, 285 pounds), Jerome Hunter (6-foot-9, 250 pounds), and Olalekan Ajayi (6-foot-11, 245 pounds) are imposing for any team. Oakland got 39 of their points last game from Petros and McKune inside, but are not going to get easy looks here, and I think in the end it will be the telling story in this one. the Golden Grizzlies last six vs. a team over .600 have them at 0-6 ATS, and Eagles have dominated the Horizon at 8-1 ATS in their last nine. Eastern Michigan in this one.
