One Play - Week 12

[BASON]

I put this in last night and I expect it to be higher once it comes back tonight:

Pitt -3 -110

Maybe I am going to the well too many times and the Steelers are certainly due to lose, but I have seen nothing from this Ravens team that leads me to believe they can rebound on short rest after today's bad loss and beat their rival. The Steelers will be smelling blood and I do not see any kind of a let down from them and I fully expect them to win this game. The Ravens are simply not as good as everyone thinks.

I added more at -4 -118.

You have the added benefit that the worst handicapper in the world, Anita Marks, likes the Ravens.

Well this has certainly been an adventure. This game likely has already cost me money as I had a lot of parlays and teasers that would have hit if the Steelers had won.

Fact is, I thought the Steelers were at least a TD better than the Ravens at home so I was happy to lay the original small number, but I am just as happy to lay the larger number right now given the circumstances:

Steelers -9.5 -120

Sure, maybe the Ravens rally around their issues, but I highly doubt it. Harbaugh struggles to get his starters ready to play so I am not sure how he will handle this, but I am willing to bet he does not handle it well. Also, and this is a big ALSO, RGIII is terrible. He has been a great mentor to Jackson but that is all he is worth. He is not a very good QB and has looked terrible anytime he steps on the field. Now, if Trace McSorley is anywhere close to playing shape, I would not be surprised to see him as he is much better than RGIII. In any event, a bad Ravens offense is now significantly worse.

Finally, I think the Steelers are pissed. All of this moving the game around was basically so the Ravens could field the best team they could to be competitive so they are not happy about this at all. This is a bitter rivalry as is and now the undefeated Steelers have even more motivation.

I only see this game going one way and I think it gets ugly.
