I don't see how GB is favored by - 2.5. I looked at this game from several angles and can't justify giving up +2.5 against a tough, experienced Steeler team.
Going with the STEELERS +2.5
There is too much value on the Steelers at +2.5 not to take them.

ALSO on the Under 45 here wolv, bc I believe that by running the ball often, PITT spins the clock, shortens the game, and limits ARodg's opportunities with the ball. Hence, in addition to Pittsburgh winning the clock battle on Sunday by employing a run-heavy scheme on the broad shoulders of Rashard Mendenhall, complete with extended drives and tons of first downs (GB gives up 4.7ypc!), Ben will make the necessary reads to move the chains on 3rd downs (Ben does this VERY WELL) while refusing to merely putting it up for grabs with loose throws etc... look for Heath Miller to emerge as a key to these drives... at any rate, experience MATTERS in a game like this one, and nobody can argue that PITT doesn't have a definitive EDGE here.
frankly, I don't believe that GB even reaches 20 points, while I expect PITT to score btw of 21-24... U45 for me too.

Agree, the Steelers game plan will be to go after AROD. You're right, GB will be exposed for not having a quality running game. Not sure if you recall, back in 2008 the Giants game plan was to go after Brady and did so successfully.

True dat, wolv, and as good as the GB pass-rush is, they just aren't as good as that G-Men bull-rush that was able to disrupt Brady and his timing w/ his receivers...

Nobody can get me off the Steelers + the chalk in this spot, and I feel strongly about the Under 45 too provided there isn't a defensive or special teams TD...

I guess now you know why the best team was favored..The best defense prevailed, even when 3 of the best players (Woodson, Driver and Sheilds went down for the 3rd quarter), plus they overcame all the dropped passes in the 3rd quarter, and still won... That's why they were favored, and why the Bears played so hard in week 17 to keep them out of the playoffs..
