Nobody beats the books over the course of the year. The reason is because the books do their homework when it comes to setting a line. As a handicapper it is my job to spot a weak line and jump on it. Every so often Vegas gives us a gift. This game right here is one of them. Games are won by field goals in the NFL, and a 2.5 spread is basically a Pick Em. The Redskins at home and all they have to do is win??? I’m going to jump on this 11 times out of 10. These 2 teams are mismatched and the Skins should win by 7+.

Cool so an easy 4.5 cover

 

[kreitmaster]

Good luck Mac. Hope Moss and Samuels play this game or the Redskins offense is going to struggle against the stout Pitt D.

Last three weeks for redskins:

Loss at home to Rams
14-11 win at home Cleveland
25-17 win in Detroit

The Skins are gaining all sorts of yards but not putting the ball in the endzone - now going up against the #1 rated defense?

All the Skins have done is beat Dallas (who we now know was overrated) and Philly thanks to Andy Reid.

Pitt coming off a tough loss...

The Redskins just WIN. They don't blow anyone out, they just go out there and gain the win by any means and by any margin. Reminds me of the 01/03 Patriots and the 08 Giants.

They are also the most Complete team in the league. Giants a close 2nd. Can't wait for their rematch in Washington.

No pass rush...haven't been pressured yet like Stillers will (cept Giants)...Skins are my team being from DC - can't understand why they are gaining 300-400 yards and not putting points up. Don't know why they would turn the corner against the Burgh...

I've got Steelers in a tease up to 8.5 that way I can pull for me, you and my team. GL!

this line looks a lot like cleveland today

-1 -136 as pinny show case line makes me think some how the damn steelers win the game.

Gl with your play

While I dont gotta problem with the pick, I would take the Titans over them when talking about who the most complete team in the NFL is right now.

Through the air the Titans can and will be exposed on both sides of the balls.

Here's an early Gem.

Titans favoured by 3 in Chicago this weekend. Bears ROLL BIG TIME. Take that one to the Bank.

 

[hognosticator]

Difference is that Washington is much better all around than Cleveland.

Also, everyone and their dog was on Cleveland today. Most people are on Pittsburgh tomorrow, or at least more than Washington.

Something smells fishy here. Looks like Pinny is inviting Redskins backers to come into their shop. -1-131

I respect your plays alot Mac, but Steelers get this done in straight up fashion! Buy 1/2 and take the 3 here for safety.

This is my biggest play of the week! Now, what i love about Pitt is really their play calling. They are not afraid to go for the home run or just flat out throw the rock. This will work very well against a Wash. team that cannot get extreme pressure on the QB.
Defensively Pitt will flat out shut down the run!
Also, time is up for the home teams on MNF, and i like the fact that Porpussy is dinged.

The line on this game all week has said alot, and a wise man once said that it is hard to beat Pinny

Steelers 27 - 13 arty:arty:arty:

 

[krk1030]

Redskins are way too banged up.

Steelers get FWP back, and their biggest weakness of keepin gBen upright wont be a problem because Washington has no pass rush.

 

[dogball]

Pinny did that yesterday with Cleveland v Baltimore as well
That is telling

 

[Jazzy3113]

I also feel Washington should win. I think the line should be -3.5.

Also, many people seem to be taking Pitt ATS and ML.

However, this is game is far from a gift. Pittsburgh is a strong team, has many veterans and played the NYG(best team in NFL) very tough last week. I think only a few units should be bet on Washington, nothing in the range of a game of the week.

 

[mj23mg]

mac i look for your picks every sunday. I also like that you have more faith in the skins than i do. I think Pitt may win in a ugly game

Good luck on your play next week, but I vowed to never wager my hard earned money on Rex Grossman ever again, especially up against that defense.

 

[Jetplane]

I'm on PITT >:\ Sorry, I have the Steelers winning by 3 to 10 points. Not sure why WASH would be considered best team in NFL right now? They aren't undefeated and they aren't that talented. They are hot... but not the BEST.

Amen to that brother...

Gl with your play

On closer examination however, som fundmental differences here.

On Sunday the Publis was all over cleveland ML and ATS. Further the final line actual closed down half point from opening on Clev at book I use for tracking - that should have been a key tell.

So far the Steelers are getting the higher % of the action Although only 50 to 60% of the bets are in so far.

Looks like pinny wants us to think oh yeah steelers just like the ravens yesterday. Oh yeah my tracking book? the line is getting stronger on Washington.


GL guys
