Pittsburgh defence

it seems the steelers are not so popular tonight which i cant figure out...problem last season was when troy polamalu was injured...he is a beast and is the difference between them being good and brilliant D...they make big plays when its needed...hard to say if its the best D in the league but its one of them.

also u ask if they have played anyone of quality so far...this season is the most open in many years so its hard to gage which teams are of what quality.. beat atlanta (nfc south leaders) beat titans (afc south leaders) lost a close one to baltimore... dont think anyone can give you an answer tbh...they have been winning without big ben so the D has been producing the goods

more to the point, no's running off is garbage with their 1st and 2nd string rb's out. pitt can ignore that and just go for brees. strange odds.

is pierre still out tonight?  i dont understand the odds...the browns beat them up lol

ivory did rack up 150yds 2 weeks ago, but vs tb, a rather diff proposition to pitt lol

Dnot as good as 2years ago but getting there troy is the x-factor best DB in the league they should hold the saints 2 less than 20 points gl

Steelers D:
8th most INTs (8). 
8th most sacks (17).

Injuries
DE Aaron Smith (triceps)
DE Brett Keisel (calf)

Saints:
Turned it over 8 times in their last three games.
Drew Brees is coming off a 4-INT game (two were returned for TDs).
Brees has 10 INTs already on the year.

i wouldnt be touching under 22.5 pts..they can be scary good if they click. wouldnt back over either

Cheers guys.

I've done the 2 bets I mentioned above. :)

correct.. i dont think they would dare be as bad as last week for what its worth...



although i do fancy pittsburgh here

Yes im firmly with pittsburgh at 22.30pm lol...but to place money on them not scoring 22.5 pts is not for me..ive not seen what price it it but wouldnt be confident

gl with your 2 bets hope they both come in 4 what its worth i never bet on my own team in matchs only 2 win the superbowl at the start of each season, gl again.

NO Saints - Under 22.5  @ 5/6
PIT Steelers 0.0  @ 21/20

Had a bit of X Factor profits to play with!

^^^^LOL...under 22.5 5/6    gl shrew...il prob back pitts so the very best of luck. they can put up pts quick,well they did last season

rather be on saints to scorw 22 than under

it's a tad tricky to know what effect those injuries to the pitt d line will have. on further thought might sit this out lol (you don;t have to bet you know? )

The victory may have been costly, though. End Aaron Smith, the most significant cog up front in the Steelers' 3-4 defense, tore his left triceps in the first half.

Smith is likely out until at least late December, if not for the season. It's the third significant injury for Smith in four years, and a look at the team with and without him speaks volumes. In the last 15 games Smith has missed -- postseason included -- the Steelers are 7-8 and have allowed averages of 22.5 points and 114.1 rushing yards.

With him, they're 23-7, yielding one fewer touchdown per game and 71.4 yards on the ground.

Well their defence aint too shabby but neither is New Orlean's.

I'm going to call it a night. I'll check the result in the morn when it'll probably be something like 24-38 or something stupid! [:o]

troy polymerlulu has great hair. imo.
