NFL 33-12-1 YTD; Monday Nite Football!

[CaptFlippy]

8-3 yesterday!
2-3 at 1
3-0 at 4
3-0 at 8 (even hit a posted parlay)
Plus 15 units on posted plays yesterday! I had an un-posted ML on Washington, that was sweet! On to tonight!

This should be a low scoring event; but 34 points! I thought the same thing about Birds/Bears and 39 was low! If Big Ben plays the whole game this will go over! Leaning Over right now! The Big Ben theory holds for the game as well, if he goes the distance the Steelers should win this 21-14. I'm leaning Steelers -5-.

Wish you blue skies and a calm sea.

Thanks Cityline!

Food for thought!

The Ravens were down 10-7 at the half to the Browns in Week 3, but outscored Cleveland 21-0 in the third quarter and won the game, 28-10. Baltimore is now 2-0 for the second time in the last three seasons.

Pittsburgh dropped a 15-6 decision to cross-state rival Philadelphia last weekend and is now 3-4 in its last seven regular-season games dating to December 2007.

The Steelers have won five of the last six meetings between these two teams in Pittsburgh. The Ravens' two worst losses all-time have come in the Steel City (37-0 in 1997 and 38-7 in 2007).

The Ravens have had the ball an average of 37:02 in their first two games of 2008 — the highest time of possession in the league.

Ed Reed picked off a Derek Anderson pass last Sunday and rambled 32 yards for a touchdown — his fourth career interception return for a TD. Three of Reed's four defensive touchdowns have now come against Cleveland.

Pittsburgh is 35-22 and Baltimore 4-6 all-time on Monday Night Football. The Steelers and Ravens have met twice on MNF with Pittsburgh winning both contests (in 2005 and 2007).

The Ravens haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher in 21 straight games — the longest active streak in the league.

Willie Parker was held to 20 yards on 13 carries in Philadelphia last Sunday. Since the beginning of 2005, Parker is averaging 103.1 rush yards per game at home, but will miss this contest after spraining his left knee late in the game against the Eagles.

More food for thought:

# Ravens are 0-8 ATS on the road since 2007.
# Ravens are 5-18 ATS after a home game since 2005.
# Steelers are 9-3 ATS at home on Monday Night Football the previous 12 instances. # Over is 7-1 in BAL last 8 games on grass. # Over is 7-1 in BAL last 8 Mon. games. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings between the 2 teams.

Even without Parker playing and an unhealthy Rothlisberger?

I'd have to lean Ravens here

The Over bet is a definate for me, I'd rather lose knowing I have a full 60 minutes to do so as opposed to betting the under and seeing it go over by halftime.

I love this analysis! You like to get your money's worth (even though you have been astonishingly correct.)

Baltimore as a Road Dog on monday night is 1-7 and Pitt as a home fav is 9-2.

Pitt =

 

[InIt2WinIt]

Woody,

I love your Location because it sure is true...I had my mind set on the Ravens but ehh....

I'll give Pitt a chance (and a def. bet on the Over)

And Mr.Flippy:

Nice job yesterday man! I hope you are 1-0 on MNF haha. I would say GL, but it looks like you don't need it.

 

[CaptFlippy]

I am sticking with Pitt, Hopefully Flacco will give us 14 points by throwing to the Pitt Defense, then all we need is 3 TD's from Big Ben! Flacco and the Crows will be a solid team in years to come, they will probably start to meld together by mid season but not tonight! Good Luck to all!

What are your official plays (with units) Cappy?

Thanks!
