Pittsburgh was very lucky and won last week. New Orleans was awful and lost. So the Steelers are due to lose and the Saints are due to win when they meet at the Superdome Sunday night.
Well, maybe.
This is a game between a team at the top of the AFC and one that's supposed to be at the top of the NFC -- and we all know the AFC is much better this year. Don't we? The "experts'' all tell us so. So go the opposite way, take that point the Saints are favored by, throw it on the Steelers and you win.
See, wagering theories can go either way.
In this case, the Superdome is a tough place to play, even though Cleveland won there last week with four interceptions and a fake punt.
