How does Washington-Pittsburgh...

...today not scream Washington?

Isn't this a great shot for Pittsburgh to go down? Just from a mental standpoint of having to play again so soon.

It seems to be a public dog - and they tend to have fleas. It wouldn’t surprise me if they went down.

Definitely a sandwich spot for pitt after playing rival Baltimore last week and going on the road at Buffalo next week.

or does the over 43.5 seem like the better play?

If you watched the Giants-Seahawks game yesterday, this is the script that I envision Washington-Pitt if Wash wins. For as many points that Wash scored last week vs Dallas, Alex Smith had little to do with it. If Pitt wins, I still am not wild about the over. Pitt can't run right now, makes it easier for a stout D.

I think if Wash is to cover or upset, it is the Washington defense showing up/Steelers offense lacking that is the reasons.

Only thing I'm scared of is I keep reading how Tomlin, Big Ben and the offense are angry with how the offense is playing. I just hope this isnt a game where they go nuts. or the play calling favors such a high scoring game.

They can be mad, but they can't run.

Some good info from Paul Charchian's site:


Ben Roethlisberger
, PITWAS — 8.75/10

This is a tricky matchup for Ben Roethlisberger as he faces a vastly improved Washington defense. Going back to Week 5, only one passer has topped one touchdown pass and none have topped 279 yards against Washington. But fascinatingly, Pittsburgh is the perfect team to neutralize Washington's best defensive attributes. Football Team's four first-round defensive linemen create a lot of pressure and Ben will need to get rid of the ball quickly. Fortunately, Ben has the league's fastest throwing time, just 2.29 seconds per Next Gen Stats. What's more, Pittsburgh ranks 2nd in PFF's pass blocking ranking. The Washington secondary will need to hold their coverage for longer than they're used to.

Chase Claypool
, PITWAS — 8.25/10

Chase Claypool is a touchdown scoring machine, which will be put to the test against a stout Washington secondary. Through 11 games, the Football Team has allowed just seven scores to opposing wide receivers, tied for third fewest. On top of that, they’ve ceded just one 100-yard receiver, Amari Cooper just one week ago. Ben Roethlisberger tosses multiple touchdown passes virtually every week, so Claypool carries considerable touchdown upside regardless of the defensive matchup. He lines up on the right side most often, where he’ll tower over diminutive cornerback Ronald Darby in coverage. Darby has surrendered at least five catches and/or a score in three of his last four games. - Jeremy Thomas (@jeremyt_2)

Redskins just do not have a plan to play from behind. And it's sad. If they run a 2-minute offense, they can only run 6-yard crossing patterns. Do they have talent on the outsides? Maybe not, but this is why Alex Smith (incredible that he made it back!) is and always will be a loser. This was his game in SF, KC, and now WSH. No ability to stretch the field. At some point, you have to try, don't you?

They really are a one-trick pony, and that pony is out for the game.

Great stuff in this thread. Put a decent dent into that loan thanks to the dog winning SU too. Gambling is a roller coaster. Everything went our way in 2H.
