Steelers -3???

Does this line not make sense to anyone else? Steelers -3 +105 against a Bears team with no Urlacher and a QB in Cutler who looked downright atrocious for the better part of that game Sunday night.

Personally, I already went ahead and loaded up on the Black and Gold. Is this a trap line? Or is this a good early of the week bet before the line gets into the 5, 5 1/2 range?

Please lemme know what you think, and as always GL!

I think it's a trap. Their offensive line sucks, there running game was sub par and let's face it. They were outplayed by Tennessee. I would wait though until the line climbs to at least Steelers -5 . It will because there are so many Pittsburgh fans out there plus all of the people who are still riding the Steelers bandwagon. I think the Steelers will win by a field goal.

When the stillers need to score the "O" line is just fine.

Ten a supposed good defensive team didn"t get close to ben on the winning drive. He had what seemed like a minute to wait for receivers moves.

Rushing 4 there were no hurries and he never hit the ground. It seems like the stillers can score when they want to.

there defense is #1, and they are superbowl bound. take the stillers.

Thing thats interesting in this game is the total. 37.5 is not a high number for a QB coming off a bad performance. 2 defensive starters missing. I had this number at 40 so the over may be the best bet on this game.
