I was leaning toward Washington myself, maybe take the ML instead of the spread.

I don't like the line at 3 but I just feel like the NFC east is all around better than the AFC north and that anyone from the NFC east would beat the Steelers (except Dallas after what I saw yesterday)

steelers need to be faded until they fix their offensive line

exactly. I thought Pitt should be favored because Pittsburgh is still a team that people love to bet. Wash is the no-named, so-called overated, team that people keep betting against because they are "due to lose." I think Wash is the better team and when I saw them favored, I felt I had a winner

I felt the same way when I first seen the line... Pitts lost to the defending champs last week.. I dont see that as struggling... plus them getting Parker back is a +... Washington is the team that is struggling to me but seems like Wash is the play today... but thats the same way I felt about the raiders and seahawks this week and they made me fall into a deep hole so Im staying away from this game and starting fresh next week

fading public dogs on the road is a long-term winning strategy

I think tht Washington's defense will keep enough pressure on Big Ben to cause a turnover or two. That wins the game for them.

The Steelers are ranked 3rd in rushing D at 71 yds / game
so stopping portis is a key, and keeping wash offense
off the field

Ben has been sacked 23 times - third-most in the NFL - with a majority of those coming against NFC East opponents.
Roethlisberger was dropped eight times in a 15-6 loss at Philadelphia on Sept. 21,
then got sacked five times and threw four interceptions in a 21-14 loss to New York

Washington is fourth in the league in time of possession (32:31) thanks to efficient quarterback
Washington having forced just eight turnovers - tied for 26th in the league
Mostly due to success of Portis running and Campbell throwing
Campbell has not thrown an int all year
The steelers will need to bring on the blitzes...
