Situation Favorable for Steelers in AFC Championship Game

By Joe Gavazzi, Winning Sports Advice

When the line maker installed the Steelers as 3-point favorite over the Jets in their Sunday clash at 6:30 pm, he may not have fully incorporated the situational advantage the Steelers have in this game. It?s true that each of these opponents is coming off huge emotional wins against division rivals to get to this game. But if the Jets are to play to their potential, they will have to overcome a serious negative scheduling scenario. This will be the fifth game in 6 weeks on the road for the Jets and the third straight playoff game. They are coming off consecutive underdog wins over Indy and New England. No other NFL team has ever defeated the Colts and the Patriots in consecutive weeks. While the Jets have been going through this emotional meat grinder for several weeks, the Steelers had the benefit of a pair of easy victories to close the season in defeating Carolina and Cleveland 68-12. With plenty left in their emotional tank following a week of rest, they were well situated for their second-half comeback against the Ravens. The nature of that second-half comeback will provide full momentum as the Steelers play consecutive home games. Cannot dismiss the fact that the Steelers retain full focused in light of their 22-17 loss to the Jets December 19th on this field as a 6-point favorite. When we do our final late week analysis of this contest, including our statistical review, we will clearly incorporate this positive situational edge the Steelers have entering this contest. Check back Thursday at 3:00 pm EST for our definitive opinion on this game, remembering we have won 6 consecutive NFL playoff games.

Five Biggest Faults of the Average Sports Better

By Joe Gavazzi

1. They believe that handicapping, and not money management, is what determines long-term success for a sports better.

2. They believe what they saw in a team's most recent performance is the single biggest factor influencing the point spread outcome of that team?s next game.

3. They are too lazy to shop the market to find the best value for their preferred team. In short, they have no concept of the value of half a point.

4. They only want to bet on games that are on TV or on teams with which they are familiar.

5. They have too much ego and pride to seek the professional advice of someone who has far more experience or expertise than they do in the field of sports betting. How have you done when you?ve tried to handicap these games on your own? Really??
