Pittsburgh at Cincinnati (09/16/2013)

Leaning towards Cincy and under just finding reason not to pull the trigger.

Honestly don't see how Pitt comes out of this road win with a W.  Line down to 6 now so time to pull Trigger with Cincy and the 1st half.

Cinncy for the win.

 

My bad....Steelers on the road tonight.  7 would be a big behind home favorite!  Still rolling with Big Ben & Co.  Good luck.

Dude...........you're stoned! Are you going to the game tonight? You might be very lonely..........

PIT @ CIN -6.5 ou 40.5
PIT is hurt and looking to the practice squad or free agency to put warm bodies on the field.

They are running out of CB's. C. Brown is doubtful and C. Allen is out with ankle. W. happy, I. Taylor (probowler) will start, leaving A.Blake (previously claimed off JAC waiver list) as remaining CB.  CB I. Green was released to make room.

Team leader and Captain center M. Pouncy (probowler) tore his R ACL on 1st series vs TEN from his own teammate D. DeCastro and 2nd yr K. Beachum took over. Tomlin was so impressed with Beachum that free agent F. Velasco (cut from TEN for being too expensive) was immediately signed and will start after having 7 days to learn the offense. I hope Ben doesn't drop too many snaps from his new center.

12 yr vet LB'er L. Foote tore R biceps last wk, leaving either K. Wilson fresh from practice squad or 6th Rd draft pick rookie V. Williams at ILB.

RB L. Stephens-Howling tore his ACL vs TEN and rookie L. Bell needs another 6 weeks at least to heal ligament tear in midfoot from preseason so... previously cut J Dwyer gets off the living room couch and a new contract and backs up I. Redman.

Prime target TE H. Miller is still out due knee surgery. (71 receptions 8 tds last yr)

Let's hope LT M. Adams doesn't get injured since no other LT is listed for PIT.

Meanwhile CIN has CB B. Ghee out with concussion. Otherwise not much change from last week's loss to CHI.

10 yr Steeler LB J. Harrison will be meeting his old team after they dissed him by asking for a paycut (6.5mil to 4.5mil in 2013) and he left for CIN. He would have made more this yr by staying with PIT since contract with CIN is for 3 mil in 2013. You have to be pretty mad to leave 1.5 million on the table and walk away. He knows all of Tomlin's secrets.

AJ Green is off to a great start with 2 tds and 162 yds.last wk vs CHI. He will face probowler Ike Taylor. But Taylor is 33 and Green is 25. (The first thing to go is the "wheels") If they try to help by doubling Green then J. Gresham and T. Eifert have demonstrated they can catch the ball as they each had 5 recpt. last week.

If Dalton can keep from throwing Int's (2 last wk) and getting sacked (46 last yr but only 1 last week) with AJ Green peaking he should be a top 10 QB this yr.

B. Rothlisberger was sacked 5 times last week and unfortunately without any run game to speak of (31 yds on 15 att, longest was 8 yds) and his fav receivers out or gone (Miller, Wallace) he will be sacked alot ... again. Not so good Steelers LT M Adams and RT M Glibert will have their hands full trying to hold back on of the best DLines in the NFL wtih G. Atkins, D. Peko, C. Dunlap and M. Johnson.

Public still believes in Ben but I see PIT just limping along with bad luck injuries. CIN is trying for a huge yr after making playoffs last 2 seasons. Bounce back home win for CIN is a must if they want to go the distance.

Taking CIN -6.5

Line opened at 7 and the world jumped the Bengals.

Line moved to 6.5 and the world just smiled and bet some more Bengals

Some books have moved to 6 and the the world has an orange and black striped woody.

Reverse line movement doesn't lie...

STEELERS +6

 

"happy" becomes "happy" after clicking submit ???

A person who finally understands the way of betting the spread!!!

I teased steelers here to +14 from a ticket yesterday (rams).  I also like over but only if it keeps dropping

-6.5 for the fav in a divisional gm where both tms r 1/0 is too high.the max it should b is -3.5. Gimme the dog....pitt+3.5.


Come on guys open your eyes

Gd luck all

Sorry I meant both tms r 0/1

Pittsburgh lost to tennesee. As for those who seen the titans in action against the texans have seen this team is no joke. Pittsburgh lost to the titans at the line of scrimmage, and the titans are a team to look for to compete down the road. Bengals, however blew a two score lead midway through the 3rd. Mentally, Big Ben I would trust in a road game to put up points on the board, and on the other, Dalton still young and learning. Defense of pittsburgh will be physical and ready as they always are. I believe this game will come down to the QB"s, because the running game of both teams are not yet producing. With Big Ben getting the job done on the road against the bengals in the past. Coach Tom of the steelers will have a game plan this monday night. Being Monday night football, steelers are 7-1, with that being said, I like the steelers to cover here and possibly even a SU win here in cinncy.

Bengals-23

Steelers- 25

your reason has already been determined to stand down. Its written in your opinion. Anytime you have to "Think or find", then it's a no go.

 

pitt+7, under 42 (purchased 1 point) and andy dalton under 260 passing yards.

Pitt plus over...

Pitt has a banged up front line, new center, no running game.
