Solid day, 1 of the few that backed Cowgirls 

Thanks, Jowchoo. You had a helluva yourself. 

Thanks, 2good.

I've been bleeding Black 'n Gold for over forty years now but I've also repeatedly said in the last five weeks how highly overrated this Steelers team is.

They benefited from a soft schedule that a good but not great defense could exploit, have a quarterback room that includes a never-was for a sixth-round pick and a has-been being paid nearly $40 million by another team to not play for that team, an offensive line that was working with its fifth combination in as many games, and an overall offense that has been in the bottom third of the league for several years now.

Thanks Gents.

Consistency is the key and expecting more of it moving forward with numbers and four to five weeks of studying these team's strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, etc... now in the arsenal. 

Good Luck to you both on all of your plays.

Kansas City -5.5 -108 DraftKings

Copied and pasted from a post I made in another thread...

For me, it comes down to injuries but not the high-profile, skill position ones most want to talk about. The Saints are completely decimated on the interior offensive line with injuries to multiple centers and guards. This is problematic for a team that relies on the run to establish the play-action, over-the-top explosives they thrive on. And against a Chiefs team with Chris Jones lining up over that same patchwork interior, it could be devastating. Center is one of the most underrated positions in the NFL because of, amongst other things, their communication responsibilities. Because of a rash of injuries at the position, they are going on the road, in a loud, hostile Arrowhead with a center they just signed from the Jets practice squad that was recently pondering retirement and hasn't played a game in over a year. DC Spagnuolo will exploit this weakness.

On the other side of the ball, the Saints' linebacking corps is also decimated with two of the starting three missing. The one starter that is playing tonight is just returning from injury. For a team that has had problems with tight ends (see recent game vs Goedert and multiple 2023 games vs top-notch tight ends) running into the Chiefs, who are sure to feature Kelce more with their injuries, could be a major issue.   

Add in, a dome team built for speed outside on natural grass, Kansas City easily having the better of the two quarterbacks, and an overall physical advantage (especially in the trenches) in the Chiefs' favor, and I don't see the Saints keeping up.

Good Luck
