ASA Lions vs Steelers free bet

#253 ASA PLAY ON Detroit +6 over Pittsburgh, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET

Detroit has come very close to getting their first win a number of times.  We feel like it might happen here and we’re getting nearly a TD as a cushion.  The Lions lost to both the Vikings and Ravens on FG’s as time expired.  A few weeks ago they went to LA to face the Rams as 17 point underdogs and led for much of the game and never trailed by more than 6 points until under 1:00 minute remaining the game (lost by 9).  They outgained the potent Rams in that game.  This team still has some fight left and they are coming off a bye which is a solid situation.  Pittsburgh can’t be trusted as a favorite.  They are 0-8 ATS their last 8 laying points.  Pittsburgh has won 4 straight and 5 on the season but all of their wins have come by 8 points or less.  That includes last week at home vs Chicago where they won by 2 points but were outgained by 134 yards.  That was vs a Bears team that ranked dead last in YPP offense.  Pittsburgh, despite their 5-4 record, is getting outgained by -0.6 YPP and is one of only 2 teams with a record above .500 that has a negative point differential.  This is a Pittsburgh team that more than likely will be under .500 when the season comes to an end.  Winless teams after week 4 of the season are 63-38 ATS which fits Detroit here.  This just smells like a situation where the Lions will give the Steelers all they can handle.  This one goes to the wire and we’ll take the points.
