This week’s Football gambling action begins on Thursday with the Pittsburgh steelers heavily favored at home vs the Panthers.



This isn’t a headline game but it does get the highlight since it will likely be aired on the nfl Network. Gamblers at the internet sports book will be competing the Steelers but it is a big number and this is a huge letdown spot for Pittsburgh after last week’s match vs the Jets.

Carolina Panthers 2-4 ATS on the Road – As for the Carolina Panthers, they are arriving from one of only 2 victories this year, last weekend against the Cardinals. Carolina Panthers celebrated the end of a seven-game losing streak with a hard-to-watch, but rather gratifying 19-12 win over the punchless Arizona Cardinals. Carolina is the worst squad in the nfl at 2-12 but they did get their second win of the year a week ago at home vs Arizona. There isn’t much to like about Carolina but perhaps their defense can keep this match respectable and that is all it will take to cover the spread. The Carolina Panthers do have a defense that is close to the leading 10 in the league so they are effective at keeping the score down. The problem for Carolina is that they have a lousy offense. Jimmy Clausen isn’t an outstanding Football quarterback and even in last week’s win nearly all of the scoring came from kicker John Kasay. The Carolina Panthers do have Jonathan Stewart who can run the ball successfully but racing vs the Steelers won’t be easy.

Will Pittsburgh Have a Disappointment? – The primary question you should ask if you’re going to make an Football Wager on the Steelers is whether or not you anticipate a letdown and if it will matter. The Steelers have the far better squad than Carolina and they should win easily but Pittsburgh had a quite tough match a week ago vs the Jets and quite little time to recover. The Carolina Panthers had a less difficult match vs Arizona and they do not have anything to lose. Laying major points in the nfl is never easy to do even when it is a obvious case of a superior squad vs an inferior squad. Sportsbook shows the Steelers as the minus 14 point favorites to win at home this week, with the total over under at 37. In recent Steelers news, it is looking excellent that they’re going to have tight end Heath Miller back on the field this Thursday. Miller, hurt Dec. 5 in Baltimore, was expected to return for Sunday’s match vs the Jets, but developed post-concussion headaches and was held out.

Steelers Own the Series – The Carolina Panthers and Steelers have met 4 times in history with Pittsburgh profitable three of the 4 and covering all 4. The teams haven’t played since 2006 when the Steelers beaten the Carolina Panthers in Carolina by a score of 37-3. The last time the teams played in Pittsburgh it was a 30-14 Steelers win. One point that has happened in this series in Football Gambling is that the last three games have risen over the total.
