Pitt PK


Bullet points:

- Vikings line is a fine pick even at -2 (I never expected the line to come down). I'll take the better team here. Home field only matters when you cover the spread.
- Jets really showed me something last game. Neither team has beaten elite teams so there's no argument to be made for scheduling. Basically, the Jets have shown me more than Oakland has. I don't care if it's square or who the public is on. Ignoring both factors. I'll take the best defense in the league (statistically). I'll make the raiders prove it to me first - playing Denver close isn't going to cut it with how Manning's O is preforming this year, see below.
- Something looks off about Manning this year. He has definitely lost a step and his passes are much less accurate. I've been lucky enough to cover on Denver a few times this year and made sure to take a mental note that I never want to be in that spot again with the current Broncos offense (I was lucky). Leaving my money in A-rod's hands. Going ML because I respect Denver's defense and home field advantage.
- Pitt beat them twice last year. The Steelers have really surprised me this year even without a QB. Vick was horrible from the beginning. I'll take home field and the match-up history from last year. I could seriously get burnt on this bet if Big Ben looks 50%. It's a chance I'm willing to take for a PK (value). Steelers D looks great.

I'm leaning Indy for MNF but it's a super small lean. Everyone wants the points, I get it. I'm just not sure if I want to test the red hot panthers at home for a touch down quite yet based off of what I've seen from the Colts so far. Andrew Luck looks like he's in his head out there on top of his injury - he's just not playing well currently. Hard to say when he will break out of it and it's anyone's guess (it really is a guess at this point when the colts will play strong).

Good luck this weekend fellas. Hope everyone cashes tickets. I'll be posting plays until the playoffs and I'm most likely done, maybe a bet here or there but a lot of my edge is lost in the lines during the playoffs when bookies will generally hit it spot on, or at least that's my experience. Not a lot of plays this week. GL!

Thanks again guys. Best of luck this weekend MM/Recon792! Also, editing my write-up as I think the Jets might have been number 2 best defense in the league behind Denver. I know they were first against the rush if I'm not mistaken. So technically they weren't the best in the league overall.

Last play until MNF:

ARI -5

I took the Bears +11 as part of a 3 team 10 pt tease. Minny has struggled big time in Chicago and are 0-5 last 5. I think I read like they are 3-15 or something like that on the road. But you are right, different team and playing much better. I'm just hoping the Bears can keep it under 11. With you on the Jets and we opposite of the GB game.

Good luck this week BIG.

With you on GB and Pitt -- opposite you on Ari and NYJ. I haven't bet Minn/Chi but my lean is Chicago or UNDER.

Thanks guys, BOL this weekend. You see the line on the Jets has moved from -1 to -3 on most books. The key to this game was catching it early in the week (posted this). The minny line ended up going down to a PK (time to buy, unexpected for me) and now it's back to -2 on my books. United - yes Minny does look much better from the games I've watched. I've never been big on the bears and Minny looks to be trending upwards was my reasoning.

I'm going to be honest - Green Bay @ Denver is anyone's guess. I don't like betting games when two good teams play as the edge is smaller and most books just hit the line spot on. This is the reason for the conservative money line play. I respect Denver's D and home field but still side with Rodgers and the Packers very good defense.

Adding one:

Saints -3

Have a great sunday fellas! Also, my lean isn't huge on either GB or Pitt. I'll be watching the Pitt line and while I don't think I will buy out of GB, I think buying out of Pitt is a possibility if the line changes enough. The Bengals have one of the best offenses I've ever seen them have in years past. The key to betting a lot of these games is predicting line movement. My predictions aren't always right but you can usually take a good guess at which ones move where. The Jets bet was huge to get it for -1 instead of -3. Hopefully some of you got on that.

Been looking at this game all week and the line looks too high. Maybe I'm a sucker. GL!

3-1 with a push on NO. Would have taken the half point too, the book had it at -155 which was crazy compared to the 120/125 I've been getting. Looks like I'll be 3-2 if the Jets keep it up. Raiders look pretty good. I think the GB money line should cash tonight. BOL!
