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

11 is too rich for me

Hopefully we can get past our 2nd half scoring woes. 

I think I'd take the Eagles. Pickett is gonna turn it over more than once.

makes zero sense therefore, i’m in

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.

Take the birds and the over.  

Eagles 41

Steelers 13

31-13 eagles so yeah Is my guess which would be eagles and the over.   But  going with eagles and the under. 

Have we ever been favored by that much over the Steelers before?

I can't imagine they have.  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. 

Is Watt still injured?

Agreed.

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.

Exactly what I had in mind:

Eagles are up, say, 28-10 in the 4th.  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.

Yeah. Chances of playing are "highly unlikely."

-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.

Pre-AFL/NFL merger, probably yes.

I think they might cover it.

Thursday update:

Both the line and the total have dropped a half point.  It's now Eagles -10.5 with a total of 43.

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
