Looks like it's not getting to 3.5, which is fine since I think they win outright, but a little added insurance wouldn't have hurt.

Bengals -5
Early bettors, Jump on the Pittsburgh Steelers -7 over the Minnesota Vikings.
Owner died and this is their first game at HOME without him. They always pay tribute to him with a blowout win.
No offense, but laying 7 points based on this is stupid.
I really hope no one takes this advice.
Yeah I'm taking the Vikes and the points.
Vikes have the best defense in the NFL and I think Big Ben might need to be put in the dryer 1
4-0 picking games this week, so I would take my advice. Every time a long time owner dies, their first game at home is a romp. You'll see Pittsburgh in a romp.
The Over Under is 45 1/2 which tells me they will be scored upon, and scored upon a lot. 38-10 Steelers Don't trust the line going down, it's a teaser.
Just to be 100% clear, I am in no way critiquing you or the pick. Whether they cover or not is really beyond the point. My issue is only with the methodology behind the decision, and the subsequent call for others to follow it.
You can check my history in this thread, even as recent as last Thursday's season opener, I've always been against using ancillary storylines when making a pick. And I've always done my best to try and limit that kind of stuff's impact on the thread.
Regardless of what the outcome is on Sunday, I can assure you that Dan Rooney passing away 5 months ago will not be a factor.
I've been watching NFL for nearly 40 years and I've seen it time and time again. Giants romped when Mara died, Raiders romped when Al Davis died, Chiefs romped when Lamar Hunt died and so on and so on. I've just seen it too many times to ignore it. I could be wrong but we'll see.
If you don't mind, how old are you?
