But with a 15.5 point spread, you would lose the bet if Pitt won by 14 points, right?
I'm a noob at this betting deal, I cherish my greenbacks too much to bet the real ones.
actually, seangar, they have utah as the as the favorite.
pretty much, they have them as a 15.5 point favorite. they figure that they can beat pitt by that amount.
the reason people are betting on pitt is because they feel that although pitt might lose, they will be within those 15.5 points. the only way for you to lose on this is if utah blows them out by 16 or more points.

There is no doubt that Pitt is going to win. The way that Palko is playing, there is no reason way they shouldn't win.

They seem like they don't even want to be there. Like they partied to hard last night and are to hung over to even concentrate on the plays. This totally sucks. But it isn't over till it is over. i still have my fingers crossed.

I havent been able to watch the whole thing, but I have noticed way too damn much armtackling...same as the beginning of the season. Our o line has always had trouble, but arm tackling pisses me off. HIT HIT HIT!
Then on top of that the coach bailed before the big game...that never helps much.

I have been watching the whole game. The arm tackling and the not breaking down befor attmepting to tackle is realy hurting us. This is worst then the beginig of the season. It is like they don't care if they lose. Messing up on the most basicc football plays.
Couch leaving prior to the big game is bullshit and that had to hurt the moral of the team but still they should suck it up and play like they have a pair. They are still ny team but they are playing like little b***Hs Atleast we have a good couch coming in for next year. Palko is will be a Junior so we still have a good chance of haveing a better season next year.

I like Palko. Anyone who takes this kind of abuse and sticks it out without beating the piss out of his limp wristed linemen and walking off has my respect. 2:40 left, and he is still playing 100% balls out. I just want to get in there and lay a few blocks to help the guy out, but that would be the end of me.

Sack number 9. From, so far, basic blitz and rush packages. O line is chasing their pass blocks and never getting a square punch in. Lack of discipline, and more importantly, a lack of heart.

Well the games over. There is always next year. Paulko definitly got my respect too. 9 sacks and still trying to play all out. The o line just brock down and it was like they were a highschool team, hell I know a few highschoolers that would have played with more heart than they have. But what are you going to do. Games over I guess I will go smoke something good to get over this disappointment.

Takeo Spikes will knock the :BS out of your last fly-by-night, next-big-thing, over-hyped, talentless QB (Maddox). Then, since you only have 2 active QBs on the roster, Takeo will come and KO Rothlisblahblahblah, your current fly-by-night, next-big-thing, over-hyped, talentless QB.
Then the Steelers will begin a frantic halftime search to find Kordell and bring him in to play the second half. Of course, he is unable to play, so you will have to play Joey Porter at QB. Cowher will call a shotgun formation, and Porter will have Colorado flashbacks and will run and hide in fear that he will be shot in the ass again.
Buffalo will win by default and Steelers will lose their playoff chances.

:r Nice prediction a little off but great. Once I stop :r I will write my prediction.
Ok. The Steelers will have their third string starting. We don't want any of the stars to get hurt or to tired for the playoffs. It starts off a tight little game we go ito half time with a 3 point lead. Then we come backi with Madux in full swing throwing a 45 yarder for a TD. Then we inter cept another TD and then Fumble recovery and another TD. The Bills lose to the third stringers Steellers. The final score 31-7 Steelers win.
The Bills go into the playoffs distrout from the pitful lose to the Steelers and lose in the first round. The Steelers on a roll go pass their first round bye with fierce training and come back in the Second week stronger and fast than prior to the season. With the heart and determination of Rothesburgher the Steelers win both gams in the playoffs and Go on to the Super Bowl. We play against San Diego and then I am in the same postition as you who to root for. But since I am and always will be a die hard Steelers fan there is no doubt. The Steelers win the Bowl with field goal in Ot. And I am one happy BOTL.
That is my prediction lets this hope I am more clairvoient than you. :D
