just what i didnt wanna see if COLONEL take the Titans...been following you picks for awhile now and side with you more than not..so maybe ill stay away or just go OVER
Who cares if Tenn won 7 of last 10. The last time they played was in '05 and Pitt won 34-7. The time they met before that was in '03.
Pitt is 6-1 on the road. Tomlin is also a good coach. He's the first Pitt coach to ever win at least 10 games in his first two years and the first to ever win 2 division titles in his first two years.
Who cares about first half records unless you're only betting the first half.
I'm pretty sure Pitt is afraid of Tenn either. They have faced much better offenses than Tenn. Look at their schedule. Tenn running backs are good but Pitt will stop the run and force Collins to beat them.
As I said earlier, Pitt is 6-1 on the road and they've played tough games all year. Again, look at the schedule.
Pitt has a great defense. They haven't let a team get 300 yards on them all year. They're almost #1 across the board in every defensive category. (Minn. just took the #1 rush D). Tenn D is good but not when they lose Haynesworth and Vanden Bosch.
Home field is huge this time of year but Pitt did just go into Baltimore and beat them and into New England before the Dallas game.
That anemic Steelers offense has been facing good Defense's the whole season. After this week, 7 of they're 15 games would've been against defenses that are ranked in the top 7 in the league in total D (Balt twice, Phil, Tenn, Wash, NYG, and Dal). And they only average a field goal less than the high-powered Tenn offense who will have played 7 of their 15 games against teams rated 21st or less in total D (Hou twice, Cle, Det, Green Bay, KC, Cin). If you wanna go into more detail, 9 of their 15 games would be against teams rated 17 or higher in total D.
I dont go into detail like that really. You are looking at statistics which sometimes fools you. If your reading what i am saying is that they have beaten them before, they are playing at home, the coach plans well, the Steelers are coming off tough games. I look at the spread and when Titans are 12-2, why are they getting points. Pitts has a bigger fan base and they will take it up to 3, which looks funny the way I look at it.
