**Cincinnati at Pittsburgh -6.5 (45.5)** (1 Viewer)

The line started at Pitt -10.5 and (48.5) O/U so the line has moved in favor of Cinci quite a bit. Undefeated Steelers at home, single digit favorites, seems like it would be easy to pick them. 

Go!

I usually just load up VegasInsider and get the real time betting lines from the sports books at the casinos. I assume when I am flying thru and making game threads that the 1st game they list would be a 1:00 game but no, they moved it to 4:30today and I understand why, CBS-Masters whatever. 

 
Is it stupid to stack Diontae and Claypool over Higgins and AB due to the weather? Or is too cute and the weather won’t make that much of a difference. 

 
Burrow can riffle the ball, I don't think weather will affect Higgins. Now Brady I could see impacted since he can't throw with the same velocity anymore. I do think the Steelers are going to score a lot of points today...division game...hated rivals...and a weak defense....

No Joe Mixon and Cinci will have to throw like 45-50 times, Higgins would have to be in line for at least 7-8 of those targets. 

Not a great match up though when your WR is one of 3 who can see targets and facing a pretty strong defense. Not sure who Higgins is going up against.

And never forget the value of those garbage  time points in a blowout loss ;)

Maybe. 4 weeks ago the Ravens blew out the Bengals 27-3 and Higgins was 4-62 on 8 targets. But AJ Green has emerged since then. Lots of factors to consider. My decision is Tyler "no respect" Boyd versus Claypool. 

 
Cinci in the exact same spot as Saints were vs. Bucs last week. Coming off bye, facing divisional opponent who just played back to back road games and squeaked by a weak opponent in that 2nd road game (bucs barely beat giants, steelers barely beat cowboys). We know what the saints did to the bucs last week. Throw in big ben playing on gimpy knee and dealing with covid protocols this week and I'm expecting cinci to give the steelers all they can handle today.

Both are 6-2 ATS this year so something has to give.  Steelers laying less than a TD at home is odd, which points to taking Cincy and the points.

Moneyline is +250 if you're with Willie

I kind of like Cinci, at least in a close game, something like 27-24, maybe Pittsburgh stumbles a bit before righting the ship similar to last week. When teams are undefeated, they win several games they could have just as easily lost, this could be another. They have room to wiggle right now in terms of locking down the Division. 

 
This game is starting to make me nervous.  Steelers not taking advantage of the turnovers.  They should be up more than 12 and eventually Bengals O will get going.

 
I have been a Tee Higgins fan almost from his 1st Start and today is just another week he builds on double digits in PPR, has to be something like 6-7 weeks in a row and the last 2-3 weeks including today are going to look like 18-18-21+already

He's an autostart as far as I'm concerned, don't need weekly rankings rom any of a dozen sites to back up what the numbers and eyeball tests al point to. 

 
Higgins...21-10-13-18-18-14 and 17 so far today, think I might have overshot that in the last post but he could hit 30 at the rate he is moving today. 

Not sure but I bet that is good for Top 10 over that stretch. He has been a great addition to my team and fills that Flex spot every week.

The run plays have become extremely predictable. It's a mess. Empty backfield 6 straight plays, and then they bring in a RB. Geez, wonder if it might be a run, rinse, repeat. I couldn't tell you the last time I've seen them play under center or w a fullback 

 
Until Pittsburgh loses a game and perhaps even then we should give them a pass but honestly Cinci was hyped coming into this game, Line moved from 10 down to like 6.5 and I'm saying we need to start taking up the Steelers. They are going to be 9-0, when is it enough to start talking about them in terms of greatness in 2020?

Steelers and Chiefs are the best 2 teams in football.  Ravens are right up there as well.  Nobody in the NFC stands out to me as being great.
