I really am not sure I understand the majority of you guys. This is just a terrible spot for the Steelers and I am not saying they have no chance to cover but I do feel they are not a solid play for many reasons.
1) They have nothing to play for. They are pretty much locked into the two seed needing a miracle NE loss to get the one seed after last week. Someone will want to argue this point but it is mute and you are kind of stupid if you think the Steelers think the Cardinals can really beat the Pats.
2) They have been through a totally brutal stretch. Tomlin is my favorite inspirational coach and he has had them play some amazing football against some really quality teams over the last month. You cannot whip them every week and they simply may need a break before the playoffs.
3) They have lost their two best players and one may never walk again. That is just more chit on top of two above.
4) They traditionally play down to bad teams on the road and are horrendous over the last couple of years as near double digit or double digit road favorites.
I know, I know, the Texans totally suck. Yes, they do. I will not argue it and TJ Yates will never be mistaken for YA Title but the Texans do have something to play for and pssssst let me let you in on a little secret ( teams usually play pretty well after get totally blownout the week before)
66% of you will play the Steelers and ignore this post. You guys may even win but over time, plays like this will lead you to the poor house.
Crash
Oh, one last thing. The line has reversed into the Steelers despite the majoritiy of the public being on them, so there may be some sharp money on the Texans. Just maybe.
Take the Texans or pass the game, the Steelers just look to be a reach here.
