Reduced juice in my sports book for over 44 at -103. Risking $354 to win $343.69. While I agree both these teams have some serious soul searching to do, I see both teams putting up a lot of points tonight. With it being Monday Night Football and both these teams having something to prove along with both coming off losses, I feel as if there is going to be an aggressive game plan on both sides to sneak a win. I know the betting public is LOVING the under for this game but I am telling you over 44 is the play here.

I think its to close to call I teased the Texans +8.5 and under 50. I feel like the Texans have played much stronger competition so far this year and will keep a low scoring game close.

With that being said, NO play for me on the Total as that can go either way (did anybody else see that non-sense Mike Tomlin pulled by going with an onside kick and calling three timeouts down three scores in garbage time last week against the Brownies - insane), but put me down for Houston plus a field goal for a Dime AND Houston ML (+120) for a Nickel please.  Thanks! 


Don't forget Romeo is the defensive coach for the Texans now.  He knows Todd Haley very well when they both SUCKED as coaches in KC.  I like HOU big!

They might not win another all year.

What happen to Tom Brady on Monday night against the Chiefs ???

As a retired pro scout I dont buy into that at all.  Everyone knows everyone.  Now when you take a team over and dont change the terminology, like oakland did the year they eventually lost to tampa in the bowl, that is plain stupidity.

This seems pretty cut and dry to me. Clowney WILL play, and that makes a huge difference on the pass rush and the secondary getting that extra second to cover Pitts only receiver. Houston is a decent tam actually, making a good showing against Dallas and Indy, two top 7 teams in the league. Pittsburgh has some very serious issues, and they will be exposed again on prime time. Roethlisberger will get sacked at least 6 times, throw two picks in there and you've got a 24-17 Houston win...

Definitely teasing Houston to 9.5 and U 50.5

I teased this to Houston +9 and Over 38

One part of me thinks that vegas will not allow this to hit since they got their bank broke lastnight with denver & Over. Every stiff in the world had Denver & Over lastnight. Teaser hardly ever hit on thursday/monday night primetime.

neither team knows each other so there might be a friendly feeling out period....but other then that...on this stage prime-time and with a name team even without full-strength vs a team with a marquee name or two...in my opinion favors the name side....with that being said the pts. may not be covered and the total going beyond expected....that's why they play the game...13-21...

Fitzpatrick will make a costly turnover.  Steelers win a mediocre game.

Steelers 20   Texans  16

I see Foster carrying 25 times and Andre grabbing 8 or 10 catches which would spell a Houston cover and under. Big Ben doesn't have the personnel he used to have and is suspect in the red zone. Play on Houston AND the Under. Over 55 years of betting football.  -  THE Myth

3 Jekyll & Hyde teams in the NFL this year.  Steelers, Panthers & Buccs.  This Steeler team has pulled alot of garbage this year and last.  This year that Buccs game few weeks back vs the Steelers.  Steelers needed to to make a first down with about a minute left to go with the lead.  3 dumbass play calls in a row coupled with a 20 yard punt, leads to the Buccs winning drive with 40 seconds left.  Any one remember last year vs the Ravens.  I forget who was favored.  Regardless the line was -2 amd covers wrote a article about the books losing their as if it went a certain way.  Tomlin steps out on the field and interfers to get a penalty.  Strange play right?  Game finished at a 2 point victory.   The Steelers under a microscope with everyone watching or primetime game are a different animal.  And this is the only scenario where I feel comfortable backing them.

Steelers money line.

Steelers on a small play, maybe a little under action on the first quarter.  The stats show Pitt heavy, the experience in the big lights says pitt and the ability to come back from humiliation says pitt.   The one to push it over the top for me is the combo of rainy weather, Texans not named watt tackling weakly and Fitzpatrick fouling things up

This is a very important game for both sides and with the steelers at home mnf and Pittsburgh weather coming in tonight explains what the outcome will be.  I.dont think foster will beat the Steelers an I.dont trust Fitzpatrick over Big Ben..  I think the Steelers take care of there redzone problems tonight and they control the clock making Fitzpatrick beat in whick I dont think so. NOT TONIGHT.... Steelers by double digits..  My 3dimes say they will
