I think the Steelers are going to whack the KAWS. Unless Slat pulls the jinx.

this game is such a trap!

"Pittsburgh seems too obvious. The Steelers have been playing on tilted fields lately -- average starting edges of +17 yards vs. Indianapolis (own 38 vs. own 21), and +17 yards vs. Denver (own 43 vs. own 26). This is aberrational for one team in consecutive games against good teams -- or, I should say, it would be aberrational for one team to engineer such an edge for a third straight game against a quality opponent. If Pittsburgh doesn't get such an advantageous head start -- if the teams eventually are near even in average starting field position -- do the Steelers still win by at least 5 points? For instance, in Week 13, Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: Bengals, +12-yard edge in average starting field position (43 to 31), Bengals win by 7. Week 11, Pittsburgh at Baltimore, Ravens, +7-yard edge (36 to 29), Ravens win by 3.

That said, Seattle's NFC Title Game vs. Carolina was +19-yard edge in average start (43 to 24). Doubtful that the Seahawks will enjoy such a favorably tilted field against Pittsburgh, which is why they need to "make their way" down the field in earnest, and turn Pittsburgh's meal-ticket (Bettis) into something that the Steelers can choke on instead because they can't feed Bettis while trailing."

So is a good rule of thumb in the bookie forum to see which way Slat bets then bet the complete opposite?

Yup. Pretty much. I stopped betting though. So everyone is on their own now. I will still tell you what all my bets would be for a small donation.

Part of the reason Pitt enjoyed an advantage was the creation of turnovers.

Washington and Carolina were pathetic. Carolina especially without a running game and too many defensive injuries.

In the first quarter against Indy, they had two TD drives over 72 yards.

15:00 5:35 PIT 16 10 84 TD
8:35 1:24 PIT 45 3 18 Int
6:05 2:53 PIT 28 7 72 TD

Against Denver...they had two long drives and two short drives thank to creating turnovers in their first four drives of the first half

10:40 6:29 PIT 8 12 63 FG
2:47 2:53 DEN 39 5 39 TD

9:23 7:28 PIT 20 14 80 TD
1:48 1:41 DEN 38 4 38 TD
