Pittsburgh Steelers – Injury Report

Ben Roethlisberger – confirmed that the quarterback’s broken thumb was a “non-issue” in Sunday’s win over the Chiefs. Roethlisberger came up short of 200 yards in a regular season game for the first time since Week 9 of the 2010 season, but don’t blame the thumb. Roethlisberger is a strong bet to bounce back against the Bengals next week.

NFL Week 10 jdubbz11 Picks

Pittsburgh Steelers +3- Cincinatti is good Unfortunately Pitts D is gonna ruin Andy Daltons life. Harrison and palamalu are going to leave this kid with nightmares. Cinci has a good defense but due to field position and turnovers Big ben will atleast drop in 3 or 4 touchdowns. I see this a 24 to 13 game.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Houston Texans (-3.5) 10/2/2011 1pm EST

This week’s pick is the Houston Texans (-3).

Three hours until kickoff, data feeds:

Betting public is 60% PITTSBURGH (+3.5)

Betting public is 40% HOUSTON (-3.5)

Betting public is 94% PITTSBURGH on money line

Betting public is 6% HOUSTON on money line

Money line betting percentages suggest Vegas bookmakers are accepting risk on Houston Moneyline.

Expect the Houston Texans defense to control the line of scrimmage.  Pittsburgh has lost 3 starting offensive lineman to injury, RT Willie Colon, LT Johnathan Scott, and RG Doug Legursky.

Monday Night Pick Recap (1-0) – November 8, 2010:

Greetings all,

After a 27 point first half we anticipated much more scoring on this game, however the 3^rd quarter was null points-wise as the Bengals missed yet another field goal, but points came in clusters as the 4^th Q gift wrapped 21 consecutive points 7 by the Steelers and 14 from the Bengals end.

10 minutes into the 4^th we had already won, how good does that feel?!

Monday Night Pick – November 8, 2010:

Greetings all,

 

Tonight MNF embeds a matchup between two AFC North rivals, the (3-5) Cincinnati Bengals visiting the (5-2) Pittsburgh Steelers. Last season both games were won outright by the Bengals en route to dominate their division. This year it’s the Steelers turn to be on top. These two squads don’t like each other and have had a history of punishing each other.
