The super contest has a ton of great capers on Houston .
I've witnessed Houston play 4 times this season and it's clear
JJ Watt is the best player on the team.

I've watched Pitt twice. I have no real read on either side here.

I'm leaning Houston but it a tailing play more then my own.

Whats the opinions on this game fellas

The last 3 weeks Pitt has played Tampa, Jax and Cleveland and they have one win. Which they covered luckily. I don't see a scenario where I can trust the Steelers with another dime of my money this year.

Hopefully with Clowney coming back the Texans will have an extra punch on defense.

The Texans O is nothing special, Foster will play great. Fitzpatrick won't lose them the game.

I'm going with the defensive MVP and the rest of the defense. Steelers D has been embarrassed last 3 weeks, they just don't have the horses to compete like they use to.

I don't really have a good read on this game either......but I do know so far both public plays have gone down this week 7 with the Pats on Thurs and SF on Sunday night. Tonight the Texans are the public play. Odds are much higher that the public gets at least one of these prime time games correct this week. Books have had a solid week....they are happy and can spare the public getting one tonight. Public can't get creamed too much or we won't have much to give back in week 8.....Vegas very aware public got smacked this weekend. Time to reel us back in tonight with Houston. That's my take...but as far as personal capping I don't have a play here

I took Houston +4 when it came out, a caveat is that Pittsburgh is 15-0 L15 SU on MNF, however, they also got their tails waxed by the Browns in Cleveland LW and Houston got beat by Indy and had some extra time to prepare for this game, keys will be front 7 for Houston vs Pittsburgh running style offense and keep the midget WRs, Brown and the others in check, I have this game a 3 pts either side, but something funky will probably happen on Nat'l TV like it seems to do in games of interest to the general public.

GL!!

Good point about Pitt on MNF.
They have a solid record.

I think big Ben can take advantage of the Houston secondary.

I'm still on the fence though.

My opinion,Somethings always shady in a
steeler game. I can't forgive them for Tampa Bay loss.......No bet....... under achieving cheats.

gags` boys have a 3 game stretch at home coming up.....they`re 3-3 and follow this game with the colts(the best team nobody`s really talking about) and the ravens(very hot on both offense and defense at the moment)....

I`d say that if the steelers want to even sniff the playoffs this year,they need to hitch up their jeggings and win tonight on nat`ll t.v.....

that said,i still can`t explain that tampa loss(on a scale of 10,their suck factor in that loss was at least 11)...from reading some steeler forums,tomlin`s ass is feeling some serious heat...

they seem to be alternating wins and losses so far this year...that means they show up tonight at home......

Colts vs Houston 1st half LW was just laughable. Then Indy does it again Vs Cincy ...a team (Bengals) I kinda thought was a contender when 100% healthy...
my theory is Obrien is still a work in progress and they have no QB .
Watt is magnificent. No better out there right now. Totally dominant week in and out.
Aside from him not much...maybe Clowny at sometime. But not yet.

Pitt has had its share of letdowns thus far. No doubt. But I have seen some improvement
Weekly. I really trust Tomlin & Big Ben WAY more then Obrian & Fitz....
Tomlin knows what it takes to win. I think he's a great young head coach in the NFL.
This game is very important within the AFC for Pitt.
I think cinci, Balt make it to playoffs, Who wins the north and which is a wildcard....I have no idea .
Pitt can be added to that conversation too with wins during this 3 game home stretch.
All in all I've seen a bunch of great capers calling for Houston but they all played it at
+ 4 some 3.5.

Right now I see Pitt -3 even and a ML of -141 Which makes no sense to me.
Comeback at +125....very low for a 3pt spread. Has me thinking maybe Vegas is up to something

My Gut is telling me Big Ben and Bell have a killer night.

1 have watch all Houston games if they had a QB they maybe 6-0 they have been in every game by the end of the game Wk1 they beat Was at home 17-6. Wk2 they went to Oak won 30-14 Wk3 was there worst game of the year in NY they got beat 30-17 Wk4 they beat Buf at home 23-17 Wk5 they lost to Dal 20-17 in overtime in Dal. Wk6 they got behind early 27-14 to Ind at the half. Lost 33-28 I think they will be in the game to the end and it will be close if Pit come to play if not Hou. will win !!!
