While the Pittsburgh Steelers returned from the bye-week in convincing fashion, the same cannot for said about the BTSC staff picks. As bad as Jeff Hartman’s selection after going 8-5 against the spread and 6-7 versus the totals, my picks were even worse at 7-6 ATS and 5-8 versus the totals. If we were depended upon our winning bets to live, we would clearly both starve.
Having seen five games split by a spread of more than 8-points last Sunday, only three games feature a line higher than 6.5-points in Week 9. A number of expected close contests has six games showing a spread of three points or less and there are several road teams that look good value to win their matchups this weekend.
