Sorry to start a new thread boys, but I got sick of scrolling down hundreds of posts in that old one. Hopefully though, only a new thread but the old streak remains the same . Remember this is a 'No Bull' NFL season for me.
 
5W-2L-1P Record ...
 
Anyhow, where was I before getting rudely interrupted?! Oh yeah, week 2 of the Pre-Season offers a nice total on the Steelers vs Buffalo Bills.  Pitt looked pretty sharp last week in both ends of the field i.e. offence as well as D.  Tomorrow I expect the fwd. line to clock in a full game and earn their pay against the Bills, whereas the backline to experimentally be chopped 'n changed as the coaching staff tests their various defensive crew!
 
And mate, what the bloody hell was up with Buffalo last week? I believe they'll come out swinging in front of their home crowd as the whole season ticket sales and memberships are on the line. Win or lose, the crowd want to see the Bills ability to touch the end of the line. Faith, confidence and trust needs to be restored in front of their home supporters.
 
As Pitt chops and changes their line up during the late stages of the game, look for the Bills to stick their nose in and take it up to the Steelers' "young guns'. 
The line opened at 33.5 and here in the land DownUnder we can now get it at 31 flat!
 
Pick: OVER 31 for 3.5 Unit play
 
Fosters and good luck all around in this high scoring game

aussie, what do you think of the bills on the money line?  pitt has to use leftwich tomm night and he should be horrible being just signed.  i think bills win this game in the 2nd half.

Aussie,

 

The line I have with my book is 33 right now.

Couple of things concern me on the over.

Pitt normally plays under in preseason. Their backup offence did not show much and I don't think Dixon or Leftwich will do much after Big Ben leaves the game. Their D looks good.

Now I think the Bills will get some early but have the feeling of another second half D show from both teams. The Bills-Skins game was at 28 after the first half last week and only a FG in the second half.

I'll be watching the game and rooting for you my friend!

I got the over 33. I agree with the total based on the fact that Pitts just picked up a very capable backup in Leftwich and I believe we see a good amount of time from him as well as Dixon as hes looked pretty good too. Not sure about buff, but I know Pitts will hold up there end of the scoring.

is that the double up a bet if you lose every series of 3 games system?

how can you be conident in leftwich??  there is a reason he was a FA.  you think he will be able to run any kind of offense after less then a week of practice?

Word is leftwich is picking up the system  and the play book really well.  Iam from jacksonville and pete prisco hes a cbssportsline nfl writer that has a show in jacksonville , he just came from PIT's training camp and coachs are raving about leftwich picking up the system . iam with ya on the over at 33 but going to sit on it to see if it goes down

I still can't see Leftwich picking it up that fast or the coaches calling many different plays for him in this game. I also heard on  sports radio that they are more interested in seeing if Dixon has anything to show in this game and will get more time.

Dixon did nothing against the Eagles last week.

whatever bro, take the under then and prove us wrong.

Leftwich is picking up the system well and should look decent, better than most college kid backups we have been seeing so far this pre season.

Aussie,

 

The game is played in Toronto and not Buffalo.  Does the home crowd still a factor?

Luckylogan,

I am from Toronto. We do not hate the NFL, we love it. Some folks here like to hate Buffalo but that's more of a hockey hatrid - not football. Most NFL fans here cheer for Buffalo and make the 1.5 hour trek to every home game they can. Consider this a HOME game for Buffalo because the stands will be FULL of Bills fans from Toronto and Buffalo. If we hated the NFL we would not be hosting this game at all. We have been trying to get an NFL team here for years and the only thing that has stopped us is the politics involved with our Canadian football Leauge. Buffalo will be playing 8 games in Toronto over the next 5 seasons. Toronto is an NFL city and a football city - bigtime!!!

GO BILLS GO!!!

I live in Toronto and I dont see this being a home game for the Bills at all. I think the majority of the fans will be neutral, and I cant imagine many if any fans from Buffalo travelling up for this game.

The only ignorance i see is coming from you thinking this is a "new" sport to the people in attendance tonight. Might be a bit harsh on my part but common now.

dont want to sound like a downer, i will probably play the over as well, but everyone is saying yes over, but with not much of a theory behind i. is it the dome, the field, usually preseason goes under, and in their first preseason games they scored 10 and 14 respectively.

regardless nfl is upon us, so lets get er done

GL Aussie I'm with you at 33 OVR Buffalo fans are die hard it is what 30 mins to Toronto past Niagra Falls. How long does it take to cross back into Canada??

Let's get on some Australian Sportsbooks 2 pt difference is great. Losman will be busting arse to win his job back from Edwards. Leftwich will be gunning to Sweed Mendenhall will bust one.. Light up the scoreboard.
