Thursday Night Football

Pittsburgh @ Tennessee

Pittsburgh is favored by 6 and the TOTAL for the game is 43.5.

Both teams have a lengthy list of injured players with Pittsburgh's most notable player being Troy Polamalu and for Tennessee Jake Locker. While Locker is listed as questionable, Polamalu is listed as out.

A few TRENDS I found interesting.

Head to Head the UNDERDOG is 6-2 ATS
Steelers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite.
Titans are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against the AFC.

I'm leaning against the grain early and thinking the game is going OVER the 43.5. Haven't pulled the trigger yet though. I really have no opinion on a side because my head thinks Pittsburgh but my gut is screaming Tennessee.

I may or may not end up making a play but either way I'm sure some here will have something to offer that might help another in their decision. I also know how everyone here LOVE's to open up the dialog and help one another with great insights into games.

So let the discussions begin.

I'm leaning the over as well. I'm trying to find reasons to take Tenn fairly big here.

haven't really started looking, but at first blush, nothing is standing out to me match up wise, from my steeler's knowledge side of it...

having Polomalu and Woodley out is not a big factor to me as Woodley's back up is VERY good, and I think Troy is the most over-rated NFL player out there...

 

[FairWarning]

Polomalu is so overrated. He does zero good when he only plays half of the games. Reminds me of when Bob Sanders and Mike Brown were in the league.

I've never met an underdog I didn't like We need Saulty to calculate the proper line. I think it has something to do with how both teams did vs Kansas City

I think it has dropped. Over probably the best play as neither team can run well.

 

[Saulty]

Pittsburgh has either lost or won in single digits on their last 11 road games. In fact they only won once by 7 points and the line tonight is -6. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the play is Titans +6.

 

[FairWarning]

Did you factor in Tenn losing by 21+ in every game but1? It's not Chris Johnson's fault, just ask him.

I like the Saulty not rocket scientist plays.

Titans in their last 9 home games have lost once by 7 points and once by more than that. So they are 7-2 in covering the +6 at home and Steelers are 1-10 in covering the -6 on the road.

This may not mean anything. We need to find out where the smart money is on this game.

Mended-enhall actually looked decent last game

I want you guys to know I am actually tearing up at the informations and opinions being shared here today. Fok'n all warm and fuzzy I tell ya, warm and fok'n fuzzy.

 

[Archie]

Ike Taylor vs Nate Washington and Kennan Lewis vs Kendall Wright
