Posted October 24, 20222 yr Eagles laying big cheese vs. the Steelers. Pittsburgh is the definition of mediocre, going 3-3-1 ATS and they have QB problems. Over/under is 43.5. The money line is ridiculous. Side: Eagles -11 Total: 43.5 Moneyline: Eagles -550(!!)/Steelers+400
October 24, 20222 yr 11 point spread is a lot to cover. We know the Birds don't press more than they have to. I am not a betting man, but I would back against the Eagles covering the spread here.
October 25, 20222 yr 31-13 eagles so yeah Is my guess which would be eagles and the over. But going with eagles and the under.

In fact, I suspect the Steelers haven't been double-digit doggies more than a handful of times in the last 25 years. Given the way the Eagles play the second half, this has the potential for a backdoor Steelers cover written all over it.

I can totally see the Stillers getting a late TD or two. Eagles could be up kinda big, the Defense goes to a prevent D with some younger players in there, and Pickett throws some TDs.

Steelers score to cut it to 28-17 and the Eagles are doing their traditional 2nd half-offensive slumber party. Steelers force a wobbly Aaron Siposs punt and take over the ball at their own 43 with 2:30 left. Eagles bettors are praying the push holds, knowing that since it's still a 2-score game, the Steelers will undoubtedly kick a field goal and try to get the ball back. Steelers kick the FG but lose the onside kick attempt. Final score: Eagles 28 Steelers 20. Bad beat alert.

October 26, 20222 yr -11? Hmm... Vegas does it again. I'm not sure I'd back us on that line. Pittsburgh are not good but I think they'll play tough and coning off the bye we may start slow.

October 27, 20222 yr Author Thursday update: Both the line and the total have dropped a half point. It's now Eagles -10.5 with a total of 43.
October 27, 20222 yr The steelers offensive line is.......well offensive. Pickett will struggle against this defensive backfield. They're offense does nothing well and they're scoring 15 pts a game. 2nd worst in the league. Their defense is average especially without Watt. Eagles 34, pittsburgh 10
