Are you excited about Bailey Zappe vs. Mitchell Trubisky in prime time? If you are, you might be a degenerate gambler looking forward to the lowest over-under seen in an NFL game in decades.
This weeks Patriots-Steelers game on Thursday Night Football has an over-under point total of 30 at most sports books. Thats a shockingly low total: Although historic data on gambling can be hard to find, StatMuse.com says there hasnt been a total that low for an NFL game since 1993.
The Patriots last three games were losses by scores of 6-0, 10-7 and 10-6. Theyve had a string of low-scoring losses unseen since the 1938 Chicago Cardinals.
The Steelers last three games were a 24-10 loss, a 16-10 win and a 13-10 loss, and now theyve got Trubisky at quarterback after an injury to starter Kenny Pickett.
Thursday nights game could be ugly. And yet millions of us will watch. Because its football, and its on TV.

(186,987 posts)If they score (combined) the same as the over under its a push and no one wins or loses on the bet.

Weird to see two of the all-time most successful coaches struggling like this. All that legacy comes crashing to earth.
Personally, I can't stand Belichek so I hope he crashes right out of the league. But not before my dolphins beat him a few more times.
The Pats have scored 148 points and 16 TDs in 12 games. WOW thats bad.
