Vegas seems to have caught on to just how bad the Steelers look. They are four-point dogs at home. I'd be tempted to take the Ravens and give the points except for two things. One is that I have a rule against betting on games involving the Steelers. The other is that they have a history of defending Lamar Jackson well and playing close games. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Ravens trample the Steelers, but I wouldn't be shocked to see Pittsburgh eke one out, either.

Niners giving 4? Damn. I thought the game would be basically home field with a point or two either way

EDIT: Thanks QT for making me aware of my brain fart

I think you read that wrong, Niners are giving 4 according to the above.

No I wrote it wrong. I knew what I meant but wrote the wrong term. I’ll go sit in the corner

If you took a shot every time Travis Kelce appears in a commercial, you’d be hammered in 2 minutes.
Enough dude.

HE’S MORE FAMOUS THAN TAYLOR!

 

[Shropshire Slasher]

The Commandoes are getting 5 1/2 at home but something tells me to take the points.

Travis is the new Gronk.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Taylor Swift's relationship, whatever it might really be, with Kelce was a step in the right direction, but we still need an American woman superstar to hook up with a member of the NFL's working class, a guard say, or better yet, a nose tackle!

Or at least a member of the Falcons-Panthers-Texans parade of mediocrity.

The Commanders are giving points, not getting points.

The Panthers upgraded to mediocrity? When?

 

[poindexter]

The Panthers would kill for mediocrity.

The best description I heard for Bryce Young is from the Ringer's fantasy football podcast, and they say that Young in the NFL looks like a child actor who has aged out of kids' roles, but isn't ready for adult roles yet.

I heard a Hanover handicapper before the game suggest to take the over on 54.5 yards. The radio host who was interviewing him jumped on the bet and was laughing he could cash in before the first quarter was over

 

[jr/shotglass]

I think I'm going to say the jury remains out on Justin Fields, and Washington's defense just absolutely bites tonight.

 

[BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo]

Al Michaels saying Washington didn't have a lot of success in the last 20 years LOL @poindexter

 

[HanSenSE]

I know teams look flat in the Thursday night game, but for the Commanders defense to look this bad against the Bears ...

 

[Deskgrunt50]

Bad news Bears winning one for Butkus tonight?
