The spread was CLE -4 before the Watson news broke. It then moved quickly all the way down to -1 after the shoulder injury news. It has now retreated back in the Browns direction to -2.5. Not sure about you guys, but whenever I see the gambling sharks moving the line in our favor, I gain more confidence in a W.
Its this way cus Pittsburgh is one of the worst teams in football… However they still find ways to win for no reason. Some blood demon shit.
If the Deshaun Watson news broke and we had a healthy Kenny Pickett on our roster … Outside analysis would see it just the same way as what we really do have as options now.
Steelers have a good record, but people (esp gamblers) have zero faith in Pickett or that offense.
Every parlay gambler in America has banned KP and the Steelers from consideration, except maybe the ones who like unders.
It could just as easily mean that a bunch of people started picking up Pittsburgh at -1, and the odds are adjusting to make it not so obviously easy to win.
Remember, the betting lines aren’t necessarily what Vegas thinks will happen, but rather based on what they think the gamblers think will happen.
Could be because Minkah and their DT Adams have been ruled out?
