Over 32.5
Pitt -7
2 team tease of Pitt -1 and Over 26.5
offensively, pitt is 10th rushing, 7th passing
defensively, cleveland is 27th rushing, 6th passing
offensively, cleveland is 31st rushing, 29th passing
defensively, pitt is 7th vs the rush and 19th vs the pass
cleveland averages 3.5 ypr vs 4.0 ypr, 5.2 yps vs 5.9 yps, and 4.5 yppl vs 5.1 yppl...they will be going against a pitt defense 3.6 ypr vs 4.2 ypr, 5.8 yps vs 5.8 yps, and 4.8 yppl vs 5.1 yppl
when pitt is on offense, they throw at 6.4 yps vs 5.8 yps, and overall they gain 5.4 yppl vs 5.0 yppl...they will be going against a cleveland defense allowing 4.5 ypr vs 4.2 ypr, 5.7 yps vs 6.2 yps, and 5.2 yppl vs 5.2 yppl
cleveland has faced 2 good offenses on the road this year giving up 34 to cincii and 32 to san diego....on the road they have lost 17, won by 3, lost by 8, lost by 7, won by 4
pittsburgh has scored 20 in every home game this year and every home game last year (barring one game when they got 17 when roethlisberger and ward didn't play vs jax)...if they score 20 today, both the side and total cannot lose...they have won at home this year by 11, lost by 8, won by 38, lost by 11, won by 7, and won by 17
pittsburgh is 14-1-1 to the over in their last 16 home games (the under was last week)....pittsburgh has dominated cleveland going 12-1 last 13, incuding 13 and 11 point wins in pitt the last 2
the cons are the injuries....both starting wideouts ward and wilson will not be playing....on defense they will be missing polamalu and their starting safety as well...another is the weather...snow and rain aren't that big a factor but 20 to 30 mph winds are a huge factor...it will be an ugly night weather wise in pittsburgh tonight...that is why the total has moved from an opening 37.5 to 32.5.....too big a swing imo
