This could be the first plunge for the Gambling Forum... I'll have a crack at that..... NFL/NBL or what?

I think some of the reasons are......

It is a home game for Pittsburgh.
Chicago has been winning games on its defense and actually has the 9th worst offence in the NFL (32 teams).
Pittsburgh had a 14 win 2 loss regular season last year and are still considered a very formidable line up despite 'only' having a 7 win 5 loss record this year. Their only significant loss was against the Indianapolis Colts (who have taken all before them with a 12-0 record) and their other four losses were only by a combined 19 points.
Can see why Pittsburgh is the favourite for this game.


Best value NFL bets for this week IMHO are (in order of preference)
New England at $1.47 to beat Buffalo.
The Indianapolis-Jacksonville game to have a total match score of 43 points or more at $1.85
Kansas City at $2.15 to beat Dallas.

What about the Cincinatti Bengals (almost considered the Clippers of the NFL) who are off to a 9-3 start?
Seattle spanking last years SuperBowl runner up Philadelphia (very dissappointing season) 42-0 on Monday Night Football?
Minnesota on a five game winning streak after gun Quarterback Dante Culpepper went down with a season ending knee injury and after losing star wide receiver Randy Moss to the Raiders in the offseason?

Happy with 2 out of 3 (Dallas beat Kansas City 31-28).

Was a bit of fools gold Punky, Pittsburgh won 21-9.

That's meant to be 31-28

Go Bengals, who would have thought that the $21 I got on them before the season would come in!!
Just got up today in the last second of the game, very important win as keeps us 2 games clear of the Steelers.
