So, what's your pick -- pointspread and/or over/under?
I've heard that a lot of Pitt $$$ will come in late so I wonder if we'll have GB -1 or even at a pk just before kickoff.
TBH, I was really surprised when this line came out. Sure, Steelers almost lost to NYJ but the same thing could be said for GB who almost lost to a 3rd string QB (and Rodgers got knocked around pretty good). So I think a win against NYJ is more impressive than a win against Bears with a 3rd string QB. Oh, if Urlancher had turned that pick into a TD, maybe we would be talking about Pitt being a 7 point favorite over Chicago. Yeah, I had $$$ on the Bears.
And what would the line have been if NE had snuck into the POs? NE -3 over GB?
Well, I'm going with Pitt (moneyline) -- no real point in taking 2.5. Maybe buy 1/2 a point and get 3? And that over/under is too high. Chicago's D slowed down Rodgers (after the first 2 drives) so I think Pitt can do the job and Pitts likes to run the ball down your throat so I like the under.
What about crazy props? I think there's one involving the length of the national anthem and another on Fergie's first outfit for the SB halftime show.
