Sportsbook.com wants me to play the over tonight (e-mail copy and paste)

Hi Dumbass (get your check yet? ha ha ha!),

Here's Sportsbook.com's Game of the Day:
In the Steelers last 11 games, OVER bettors cashed eight times. Additionally, the last seven times they played a team with a winning record, the OVER covered five times. There is little doubt that Pittsburgh's defense is one of the tops in the league; however, three out of their last four opponents managed to put at least 20 points on the board. Washington has a decent offense, averaging 22.6 PPG since their disappointing season opener. Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger might finally have some time to get the ball downfield as the Redskins pass rush is 28th in the NFL with only 10 sacks. Taking all of this into consideration, it is obvious why 90% of the early bettors are on the OVER (36.5).
Regards,
The Sportsbook.com Team

I believe you have posted these little write-ups from the book before. Right? Have they been right in the past or wrong?

mssmith: Yes, I post 'em from time to time. They are just a little funny to me.

The last was pushing Titans over Indy and it cover. Previously they were pushing the under in the Broncos/Patriots game which landed almost dead on the total (Bookmaker had 48 and 47.5 just before kickoff).

The best was back in the summer when they were pushing the Twins +135(? if I recall correctly) over Boston at Fenway. I played Boston just because of the e-mail...won easy.

Again, just posting these for entertainment value but there is some good info, I guess, if it's true 90% are on the over.
