Steelers superbowl hangover
It has not gone as planned for the Pittsburgh Steelers after their opening four games. Steelers were blown out by the Ravens to start the season, then run over by the Texans' this past Sunday. Steelers, thanks to an offensive line that has been pathetic are managing a lowly 16.0 points/game and it's vaulted defense, although solid vs the pass (157.5) is surrendering a whopping 119.5 rushing yards/game. Now, the Steelers must gear up for a tough Tennessee Titan squad tops in NFL scoring defense allowing 14.0 per contest and a vastly improved Chris Johnson who notched 101 yards last week after posting just 98 the previous three games. Banged up Steelers without LB James Harrison, DE Aaron Smith (doub), RB Rashard Mendenhall (ques), RB Mewelde Moore (doub) and Roethlisberger limping will have their mental and physical toughness tested. Steelers defeating Titans 19-11 last season, 13-10 the previous year are in tough NFL Sport Betting territory as they're on a 4-12 ATS skid scoring <21 points/game, 6-22 ATS slide the past twenty-eight held under three TD's. If CJ2K breaks out it gets uglier for backers as Steelers are 1-8-1 ATS when pounded for 100 rushing yards/game. One final tid-bit, Steelers are on a 1-8 ATS slide in first of B-2-B home games.
Hope all you NFL fans have a gr8 Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!................ed
