NFL wild-card predictions: Sharp money moves line on Steelers-Texans playoff game​

LV REVIEW JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTION

Something has to give in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wild-card playoff game at home against the Houston Texans on “Monday Night Football.”

The Steelers are riding a 23-game home winning streak on Monday night, but coach Mike Tomlin has lost six straight postseason games.

The Texans are on a nine-game winning streak but searching for their first road win in the playoffs in the franchise’s 24-year history.

Houston is a 3-point favorite and the consensus total is 38, with 38½ available at the South Point, Caesars Sportsbook and STN Sports.

Sharp bettors have backed the Steelers, who were 3½-point underdogs last week.

“Right now, we need Houston. We’ve taken some big bets on Pittsburgh,” Westgate vice president of race and sports John Murray said. “Currently, we’ve taken some real sharp bets on Pittsburgh. But a lot of the sharp money has gone up in smoke this weekend.”

The Steelers won and covered four of their last five games this season, winning the AFC North division title in Week 18 with a 26-24 upset of the Ravens as 4½-point underdogs on “Sunday Night Football.”

“We’ve seen some money on the Steelers. The number has come down from 3 -120 to 3 flat (-110),” Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said. “We have a lot of future book liability on the Steelers, too. The Steelers have been at least 3-point home ‘dogs in a primetime game in back to back weeks. The difference is you get (wideout) DK Metcalf back.

“The Texans are a little challenged offensively but by far the best defensive team in the postseason. That’s why you see the lowest total on the board at 38½.”

Could be time to end the streaks....
Kind of like Buffalo did with a playoff road win (1st in 30+ years).

I guess im a bit more committed on the play. I posted my wager on Jan 5th , as soon as a line was made available to me. No need to post how i dont believe Pitt is a playoff team , then provide reasons that history tells me to back them.

I provided my thoughts in Post #12 of this thread

If im right or wrong , it will appear in my updated record tomorrow

GL to all who post an actual play for tonight , regardless of who you choose or support

GO BILLS ( oh yeah , someone told me their season was done prior to the TB game )

Guess Bills fans havent been getting the memo for a while now

The Texans have played 75% their games indoors, playing in the cold Monday night a different animal. Texans run game has been not so stellar could be a factor if they are forced to be one dimensional tonight. CJ Stroud has been mid on the road. These are my concerns for the Texans looking a little closer at this match up.

J.Warren flu. Possible others?

Some valid points JD. As far as the weather tonight , and playing outdoors in the cold , Houston went into KC on Dec 7th where the temperature was 32f ( same as tonight ) and beat KC 30 - 20 in a " must win " game for KC.

Steelers haven’t won a playoff game in 10 years.

Lots of different streaks on the line today that will be broken.

I think we have to ask how much of the streak at home on Monday night is due to home field and hyped up crowd.


they don't win in playoffs because the have been sucky since Ben got old and retired. their coaching is suspect for big games


but they have won at home even when they have been sucky. with shit heads like picket and Rudolph and Hodges on Monday nights. so is this just the most favorable home field situation ever or do we disregard it completely due to the fact the current Steelers do not look that capable?
