I wasn't talking about betting lines, two different animals. The betting line is a way to even the bets between both teams so the book makes the vig. They make the line based on who they think the betting public likes and adjust the lines to try and even the action between both teams.

The betting line was very accurate last night, right? They were trying to even out the action which I am sure they did not so they made a killing last night.

I understand betting lines.

However, I refuse to believe that anyone could possibly be stupid enough to believe that their is no advantage to playing at home.

Go back and watch Arizona's game in New England if you want an extreme example of home field.

Just because Jake Dellomme turned the ball over 6 times and because Tennessee turned it over 3 or 4 times more than Baltimore did ... doesn't mean that their is suddenly no edge to playing at home.

I hope you are not referring to me as stupid, it should be THERE NOT THEIR, once is a mistake, twice, we have a problem. Home field really helped Ten and Car yesterday,
huh!!

This is why I rarely post on this site, if you have a differing opinion from someone, people resort to calling people stupid and so on. Grow up.

grow a thicker skin.

i'm pretty sure if drugs had meant to insult you, you'd know it beyond any doubt.

i've seen it happen and it involves gaping wounds, blood splattered on walls, and truely obscene songs.

What if Pitt ends up playing Zona in the superbowl? That would be an interesting story. Shunned ex coach...victim of the rooney rule...exiled to arizona of all places...faces his old team in the superbowl.

This was not a prediction of any kind so im not trying to redboard this hypothesis. Im just thinking of how interesting this will be. Will Wiz have a big advantage after having worked with Rothlisberger for so long? Will practicing against Lebeau's blitzes give him special insights into beating them down the field?

Personally, I think Pittsburgh is much too physical for this cards team. Throwing those routes across the middle against the gold and black is a sure way to get Fitzgerald killed.

absolutely there is an advantage playing at home-i also can't believe anyone would think there isn't.
