Can anyone find any value in taking the under +40.00 in the PIT game? Seems like with the #1 ranked defense in the league, shutting out NYJ seems reasonable, while giving PIT 1.25 touchdowns per quarter seems about spot on.

If that's your feeling, you should be loading up on Pit -9.5
I think the line is OK, though if I had to bet I'd go with the over. The Jets have the worst defense in the NFL. That alone is enough to keep me away from betting the under on a game below 42.

That being said, the Steelers, if they get up early, will probably run all day, which is a good enough reason not to touch the over. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I don't particularly like playing with totals when the two teams have completely opposite games on each side of the ball. For example, Pitt should be able to score often, and the Jets not so often (theoretically), so where exactly should the total fall?
