The Pittsburgh Steelers head into tonight's matchup with the Washington Football Team sporting an unblemished 11-0 record.
With a road matchup against the Bills looming later this week on Sunday Night Football, is Pittsburgh in a perfect letdown spot tonight against Washington?
It may not result in a straight-up loss, but tonight's spread is too big according to our NFL PRO Betting Systems.
Let me explain …
NFL Picks: Washington vs. Steelers
The Washington vs. Steelers spread was available at 7 for most of the week before big bets knocked it down to 6.5 (click here for live NFL odds) on Sunday.
The Action Network's NFL public betting data is reporting just 35% of the bets on Washington, yet those tickets make up 63% of the money — a tell-tale sign that the largest wagers have been flowing on the road underdog and pushed the line from +7 to +6.5.
So, why are big bettors so bullish on Washington?
Based on our Road Dog, Low Total After Bad Season PRO System, which identifies undervalued underdogs in games expected to be low scoring, Washington is simply getting too many points.
Does this mean that it is a lock to cover? No, locks don't exist in sports betting.
But teams matching this system have gone 226-144-10 (61%) against the spread since 2004, meaning this spot has been a money maker for contrarian bettors over the past 17 NFL seasons
PRO Systems Pick: Washington +6.5
