The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Did you guys miss the part where Jacksonville has already beaten Pittsburgh? They picked off Big Ben 5 times. Not saying that will happen again but this is far from a lock for the Steelers.

I don't think it's a lock, either. I just think that's where the line will be.
The Philadelphia Eagles are poised to do something no other No. 1 seed ever has -- begin the playoffs as an underdog.
The Atlanta Falcons opened as 2.5-point favorites over the Eagles in Saturday's divisional round game in Philadelphia.
Since 1975, when the NFL began basing home-field advantage on teams' regular-season winning percentage, no No. 1 seed has ever been an underdog in its first playoff game, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Barring dramatic line movement, the Eagles will be the first.

I guess everyone thinks the Eagles were a one man wrecking crew this year and are ignoring how good they were at home? Sure Foles is no Wentz, but as long as he plays smart, turnover free football, this could be a long game, for the Falcons.
