Picking the full Week 5 slate against the spread The Pittsburgh Steelers were something of a letdown last Sunday and so were the BTSC game picks in Week 4. Jeff Hartman was a rather meidcore 8-6 against the spread and 6-8 versus the totals [url=https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-jerome-bettis-jersey]Jerome Bettis Jersey[/url] , while I was far more disappointing after posting a record of 8-6 ATS and a disgraceful 4-10 versus the totals. Not to paint that performance with too broad of a brush, but that is not even varsity level.Like the Steelers, we hope to bounce back in Week 5 and once again the weekend’s action is made up mostly of home favorites, with only three road teams giving up points on Sunday. No game is separated by more than a touchdown and seven games feature a spread of a field goal or less.Having only picked four different winners between us against the spread, we will either both be very right this week or very wrong. Betting on the later is probably the safest wager of the week. After four straight weeks of blindly picking the Steelers to cover regardless of what your head tells you [url=https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-james-conner-jersey]James Conner Jersey[/url] , Jeff is the only one of us keeping the faith against the Atlanta Falcons. Given my recent form picking winners, that is probably a good omen for Pittsburgh.Selections have been made using the consensus Las Vegas odds from VegasInsider.com as per Friday night and we encourage you to play along with us by adding your picks below. The former Steelers running back aired his grievances with Pittsburgh in s 25 minute interview with Sports Illustrated, complaining that he was not treated like a human in the Steel City"If fans had hoped to get some answers about what had really happened between Le’Veon Bell and Pittsburgh Steelers from his interview with Jenny Vrentas of Sports Illustrated, those who watched the full 25-minute conversation that was released on Wednesday were likely to have been bitterly disappointed.Much like the much anticipated interview with Antonio Brown with Jeff Darlington of the ESPN a few weeks ago, the piece was simply a chance for the player to make a series of unsubstantiated and frankly ridiculous claims in the face of a reporter with no interest in talking about the truth.Softball question after softball question encouraged Bell to spin his own tale of sadness [url=https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey]https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey[/url] , with the running back making the most of the opportunity to let the world know just how mean the Steelers had been to him during his time in Pittsburgh. Despite repeated suggestions over the years that he would never play for the New York Jets, not even for $100 million, Bell did his best to convince Vrentas that they were actually the team he had wanted to play for all along. Citing the love the fans in New York had shown him ahead of his signing, as well as the level of respect he felt from head coach Adam Gase and GM Mike Maccagan, Bell left no doubt that he believed he had not been held in the same regard in Pittsburgh.Ignore the tweet below [url=https://www.thesteelerslockerroom.com/authentic-terrell-edmunds-jersey]Womens Terrell Edmunds Jersey[/url] , Bell must have been talking about a different Mike Tomlin.Blaming Ben Roethlisberger in part for his desire to leave, as well as the fans, Bell would go on to say - “They don’t treat you like a human” in Pittsburgh.Initially claiming he had intended to play last season all along, Bell told Vrentas that it was the public comments of his teammates ahead of Week 1 that ultimately caused him to change his mind. Admitting that neither him nor his agent had any understanding of the actual rules that would dictate his status in 2019, Bell would acknowledge that “new information” around the bye week changed his mind about returning at all in 2018.Despite pointing out how much he did not like being in Pittsburgh [url=http://www.Steelersjerseyproshop.com/l-c-greenwood-jersey/]L.C. Greenwood Jersey[/url] , Bell would go on to claim that he would have reluctantly signed the Steelers deal last year if the team had guaranteed his salary in year-two. But while an article that accompanies the video written by Vrentas acknowledges that Pittsburgh never cut players in their second season who have signed contracts like the one offered to Bell, she strangely chose not to broach the subject with him during the interview.Appearing visibly sad for the poor running back as he told his take of woe, Vrentas came across as more of a sympathetic parent listening to a child than a reporter interested in what really happened.Optimistic that he has now found the right home with the Jets, Bell appears to believe that he will be more involved in game planning than he ever was with the Steelers, something he clearly wished he could have done in Pittsburgh.For those that can stomach it [url=http://www.steelersjerseyproshop.com/rocky-bleier-jersey/]Rocky Bleier Jersey[/url] , the full interview can be seen below. Hopefully, this is the last piece I will ever have to write about him. _________________ http://www.greenbaypackersteamonline.com/ |
