Can't Pittsburgh flex this weekend and prove that regardless of the obstacles, given that they got shafted last week by the time change of the game, they can overcome them? Can the Steelers point to edelmans comments about the ENTIRE ORGANIZATION and use that like you say the drama of brown will be used against the Steelers? All I read above and believe me it's all im reading with patriots backers is the historical aura of the "wizard" and the "comeback kid" will simply will this team, THIS YEAR, to a blowout win over Steelers. That's the reasoning?
Its simple... not rocket science. If its a perfect game, it will be close, I can see steelers covering, but NE will edge em out...like they usually do in close games (3 points or so). If either side stumbles, aka team doesn't show up. 1 or 2 turnovers (either side), the other side will take the advantage and put em to sleep.
Statistically the home team has the edge. Hence they are favorites. Vegas has them at -6 for a reason. What we are doing is simply a prediction. Sports betting is a science of prediction, if you predict right, you are rewarded. If you predict wrong, you lose your money. House always wins, because they serve as the 3rd party broker and take juice from both sides. This is obvious, what isn't is who will win tomorrow.
If the cowboys had won vs greenbay, I'm sure Stephen A. Smith wouldn't be sticking it to all the cowboy fans the way he has....
Just the way all the Steeler fans, if they pull the upset will stick it to the Patriot fans.
Patriot fans won't stick it to the Steeler fans the way you guys want to stick it to us.
This is a fact.
So don't stick it to me yet, just wait for the game to play out. However it plays out.
But Tom Brady is out for blood, and superior to Big Ben...you saw what Rodgers did to Dallas. Brady just needs a couple of flashes of Rodgers, and it should be in the bag.
Steelers are on an incredible win streak, but they have stumbled and a couple of there wins have been incredibly close.
Either way, I have the Pats on the ML, so all you +6ers... good luck to you.
Only a tiny tiny play on the -6, so just in case it is a blowout, the beer, food, beer, food, beer food, beer, food - money will be good.
