Locked in STEELERS @ PHILLY

STEELERS +4.5

Not sure what happens with this line but couldn’t resist.

BOL

Steelers in road doesn’t end well. Nick Sirriani is another bad coach that cannot get out of his teams way. Will never win anything because he cannot control his emotions. 

I see the game versus the Eagles to be a spot where the Steelers might be looking ahead to facing the Ravens the following Saturday. If the Steelers beat the Ravens, they will win the AFC North regardless of what they do against the Eagles, Chiefs, or Bengals.

If the 8-5 Ravens lose the game with the Steelers and they win every other game on their schedule their record would be 11-6. If the 10-3 Steelers beat the Ravens and lose every other game on their schedule, their record would be 11-6 but they would hold the tiebreaker which would be that they beat them twice in the year and hence would win the AFC North. 

4.5 does seem like a lot of points considering the Eagles struggled versus the Panthers and the Steelers crushed the Eagles. BOL 

Good luck AM.  

Steelers haven't won in Philly since 1965...

Pitt will try and run the ball every 1st and 2nd down then try to pass in the face of a blitz.  Tomlin waits until down 10, then will try to open the offense up.  Works against average teams, not elite!  27-13 philly

@pavaman58

Yeah, that is Tomlin's m.o. The first quarter against the Browns was the crab apple, constipational approach. 

The Steelers are looking ahead anyway to their rematch with the Ravens the following Saturday. I think they will get their cheeks handed to them in Philly. 

@Buffalobob89074

Look ahead doesn’t exist in a scenario in which a veteran-led team is facing back to back contenders. 

If anything, NYG +14’ at home vs BAL is the look ahead spot

The total seemed a bit low to me. I had it at 46.5 but not sure I want to play the over

Again, all the Steelers have to do to in these last four games in order win the AFC North division and get a home-field game in the playoffs, is to beat Baltimore two weeks from now. They have virtually no chance at improving to the 1 or 2 seed so they will be singularly focused on that game IMO. 

They have to play 3 games in 11 days (Dec. 15th thru the 25th) and with the lineup being Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs it would be unwise not to be singularly focused on the one game on the schedule that sews up the divisional crown. 

Agreed that it is a look ahead game for the Ravens also, as a win realistically keeps their hopes alive for the divisional championship. The Steelers have the blueprint to beat Lamar and they know it. 

@pavaman58

 The actors are different, but the crap stays the same.

@pavaman58

 Bang called it perfectly, Tomlin is so overrated 

@pavaman58

 You nailed the final score 

@pavaman58

 Nice call...

@Gmoney77s

 Steelers came off of four divisional games. Then on the road. It seemed like a bad spot. Had the Eggles here, but the Motor City Kitty Cats cost me the vig.
