ARIEL EPSTEIN: Happy Football Monday. I'm the prop queen, Ariel Epstein. The Pittsburgh Steelers may see their quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the final time at Heinz Field. This line actually flipped from the Steelers being home dogs to the Steelers now being favored at home. Here's why I'm going with three different Steelers props. First, it's because I have no idea if the Browns care. So if you know, if you have any inside scoop as to knowing what on earth the Browns care about in this game, please tell me.
Let's go with the first one. I like for the kicker on the Steelers, Chris Boswell over 1 and 1/2 field goals. This is a number that Boswell has gone over in six straight home games. That's pretty much it. He's been much better at home this year than he is on the road. Especially knowing that the Steelers are going to try their hardest to get downfield for Big Ben to have one last hurrah, give me the Boswell over on field goals.
Prop two, I'm betting the over 1 and 1/2 passing touchdowns on Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The Cleveland Browns have allowed for the fourth most passing touchdowns per game and ninth most overall this season. Big Ben has also thrown for four out of his last seven games, two or more touchdowns. I'm taking that over on Big Ben's potential finale with Heinz Field going nuts, 1 and 1/2 passing touchdowns on Big Ben. For prop three, I'm betting for Big Ben to throw an interception, set even money. And the reason I love it is because I looked back into the past.
In the past, where quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Brett Favre, when they had their finale at their home stadium of the team that they're basically going to be Hall of Fame material for, well, then you've got to look to what they did and it was not good. Their stats were bad as you could see on this graphic. And interception wise, all three of them threw a pick in their finale at their home stadium. Give me the over on the half and interception by Big Ben.
Here's your Prop queen recap. I'm betting the over 1 and 1/2 field goals on Chris Boswell. Over 1 and 1/2 passing touchdowns for Big Ben. And for Big Ben throw an interception. Sorry, Steelers fans. That's it for me, you're Prop Queen, Ariel Epstein.
Sayonara to Big Ben, it's been real. However, Ravens fans, we're not going to miss you. Good luck tonight. Bet $1.00 on any game and win $100 free. Sign up now at BetMGM.com/YahooSpecial.
