at Jacksonville, the pick

The early selections here suggest the ESPN suits will not be afraid to pick J'ville straight up. I'll be shocked if Hoge or Jaws pick Jacksonville, though. Peter King also picks Jacksonville straight up. The line opened on an encouraging note for Jacksonville backers, but since then it moved three or four points in Pittsburgh's direction. The line movement suggests the public will be sticking with the big winner. No doubt they overreact a bit to the news that Ben will start, and many probably know Cowher's record on Monday Night Football.

All that said, the information at Wagerline (don't know why we trust it, but there's not much better available) suggests the Steelers are long way from the top of the public's list. People doubt the Steelers.

There's no reason to doubt the Steelers against anyone in the league until they lose.
