ESPN Says The Panthers Only have a 35% Chance to Win Thursday Night vs Pittsburgh? Do You Agree With This?

[hepcat]

The Steelers deserve to be the favorites at home on a short week. But I think the Panthers have a great shot at winning this one especially if they can’t get out to an early lead and force Pittsburgh to be one dimensional on offense. Pittsburgh’s defense is kinda bad.

[FugAllY'all]

I will say, preparing for our offense on a short week will be a pain in the ass.

You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at the Panthers and you look at the Steelers and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another football team, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But the Panthers are genetic freaks and they're not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat them. Then you add Norv Turner to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the game on Thursday, Steelers got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but the Panthers, they got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Mike Tomlin KNOWS he can't beat the Panthers and he's not even gonna try!
 
So Steelers, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus our 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning on Thursday. But then you take the Panthers 75% chance of winning, if they were to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cent, the Panthers got 141 2/3 chance of winning on Thursday. See Steelers, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

Is it just me or does Pittsburgh seem to have every hard game at home?

If we play like we've played for the last 10 quarters then we leave with a W.

I bet Tepper really wants to win this game.

Their run D is ahead of us by 2 spots, and their pass D is two spots and 7 yds/gm behind us. They're not blowing teams out (aside from the Falcons game) but they're getting the job done. They're a league best 25-7 at Heinz Field  in primetime games.

Steelers are incredibly tough at home.  Put it on a short week and it's going to be a very hard game for us.  It's going to come down to our defense.  If they can keep us in this, we can pull it out, but we really need those guys to show up.

Wouldn't be surprised if he threw some money on the table for every player in that locker room to get some extra incentive to beat them.

Steelers average 86.4 penalty yards per game this season. They are a dirty football team and have gotten away with taking some shots at Cam in the past. Let's see how that holds up now. They are the most penalized (yardage) team in the league.

110.8 yds on the road and 62 at home, which shows you the refs are willing to put flags in their pocket when the Steelers play at home.

I agree with the idea that we don't do good on short weeks or against Pittsburgh. I hate the percentage prediction stats. It's a fake stat. Teams that have 1% chance of winning and then they do really hurts that metric. It's a stupid metric.

Sure but they've also faced the Browns and Ravens for half of their games so far and those teams suck ass

Math scholars are still trying to figure this out. Big Poppa Pump draggin bitches through the dirt.

Thursday night games are a toss up and whoever wins or loses doesn’t mean much in my opinion. Three days recovery time is not enough time and the winner is usually whoever happens to recover faster - not who is the better team.

I'm driving up there Wednesday night.  Be at the game with the Riot.

 

Lets shock the world.
