3* 7pt Tease --- PITT +3.5 & UNDER 58.5
Analysis:
If you have to use a 6.5pt tease that fine..We just want the +3 or 58 at worst.
Look I think Pitt can cover this game without a tease, but I'm not certain they can cover 3.5 against the Panthers for sure. This total is high to start and 51.5 is over that key number of 51. So why not tease this to 58.5 and make it even easier on ourselves. I get the home team at 3.5 and under 58.5..We get some valuable key numbers guys.
Pitt offense has been solid and the defense has actually been one of the best the last 4 weeks they've played across the league..Panthers defense has been very good as well, but I'm not certain the Panthers will put up big points. These teams are similar as far as the backfields go...Bell and Connor are used just like McCaffrey is for the Panthers..So that Pitt defense should be able to contain him. Visa versa for the Panthers defense slowing down Connor. I see both teams looking to avoid that crucial mistake tonight and both playing this game much more calculated. Close to the vest type of game..I think 27-24 seems about right, but a 30-24 game wouldn't surprise me either.

PLAY: PITTSBURGH STEELERS
RATING: DIME PLAY
Check back at Noon PST for a possible Prop Bet.......
This play is all about the improved D for the Steelers, and continued fine offense.
During their last 4 games they have held their opponents to 21 or fewer points:
Atl 17 PIT 41
Pit 381 yards Atl 324 yards
CIN 21 Pit 28 (Cin 275 yards)
Pit won yardage 481-275, Cincy was a fortunate 3/3 in red zone)
Clev 18 PIT 33
Pit won yardage 421 to 237
BALT 16 PIT 23
Pit won yaÀrdage 395 to 265
I ALWAYS look to play on the home team on Thursday Game Matchups, as the short week favors the team that does not travel.
Carolina is also playing good football, but I have the Steelers rated as the better team, and I am confident they win this game more than 65 percent of the time.
