This is a 10* ATS BLOOD-BATH on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:

As note that Pittsburgh is 3-1 ATS in its last four as a road fav in the 7.5 to ten points range, while Houston is already just 1-3 ATS this year after two or more consecutive SU losses and just 2-4 ATS this season against teams with winning records.

The bottom line: Steelers' star WR Antonio Brown won't be playing in this game, which is a blow for Pittsburgh. But the Steelers should still be OK here facing a dejected Texans side that's down to its third string QB this weekend. Pittsburgh had its eight game win streak snapped in last week's controversial 27-24 loss to the Patriots, but with two games left against the Texans this week and at home against the Browns in their finale, the Steelers have a big opportunity to erase that setback from memory and destroy these two bottom feeding opponents before the playoffs. Lay the points, play on the STEELERS.
