What is NFL Parity?

It's when the 8-2 Steelers - who have defeated five teams that would be in the playoffs if they began today and who are seemingly really coming into their own - are only 3.5-point favorites against a 2-8 team on its backup quarterback that just got spanked by a scrub team.

tough game to bet. crappy weather, tomlin's record on away thursday night games is awful, throw in rivalry game, short week.

i'd avoid it. something is off with that line being so low.

i think the rain/snow and wind should help the steelers since Winston is coming off a 400 yard game. That's just a guess though, everytime i think the weather will effect a game one way or the other, the opposite seems to happen..

Weather?

Could be. I was just thinking the rivalry aspect and the fact that we've struggled in that stadium lately. I remember a game a few weeks ago where the 2-6 Jets were favored over the 6-2 Texans and they covered. Makes me long for a salary cap in baseball, because it does make things more interesting.

Short week and a division road game. Factor in cold and rain and this has the makings of an ugly game.

Who knows - I’m just happy you didn’t say parody.
