Steelers Over/Unders that will beat Detriot

Before I hear any of the "All we need to do is score more points than them and we win", I've put together a list of over/unders. I feel if we hit 5 for 5 on these, we win the game. If we hit 4 for 5, I think there's a good chance we win. What do you guys think of this list? Is it realistic to think we can do all 5 of these? If a few are more important than others, which ones do you think?

Lions Sacks 3.5 - UNDER
Bell rushing yards 75 - OVER
Steelers time of possession 34:00 - OVER
Megatron recieving yards 110 - UNDER
Lions turnovers 1.5 - OVER

 

I think your list is pretty unlikeley, but, we would win, if it happens...
Most important, and, likely to achieve, IMHO, would be, Bell`s rushing yards, other than that, we would be lucky to get any of the others, except possibly Time of Possesion, and MAYBE the turnovers(would help a lot, but ya can never predict those.. and,we`ve had a drought there, lately)
I would add...
Ben`s turnovers... 1-under
Offensive penalties... 4-under
Megatron`s TD`s... 2-under
Stafford`s sacks... 3-over
Knockdowns/Pressures on Stafford... 10-over
Steeler`s 3d down conversions... 65%-over
Detroit`s 3rd down conversions... 35%-under
GO STEELERS!

 

Lions sacks, you meant their D? I'm afraid the Lions D may have a career sack day.
Bell rushing, the correct rushing play will beat the pressuring Lion D once for big yards, total 75 over.
Steelers time of possession 34:00 - OVER yes
Megatron recieving yards 110 - UNDER yes, but look for a no name tight end with a big day.
No Lions turnovers.

 

I dont think there is any way in the world bell is OVER 75 yards rushing on sunday
we will be playing from behind and passing it every down

 

Steelers win.

 

Wishful thinking, but in my opinion:
Sacks over 3.5 - I can easily see ben hitting the ground with 4+ sacks
Bell under 75 yards - We'll either abandon the run or the Det line will smother the running lanes
Steelers TOP under 34:00 - I have no confidence we can consistently sustain long drives
Megatron over 110 yards by a lot - In Ike's prime I'd say UNDER, but not so sure now, I see a big day from CJ
Lions turnovers under 1.5 - Honestly don't see more than 1 turn over, we've been horrible getting defensive turnovers this year.

I'd love to be an optimist, but I think we have a slim chance in meeting all those goals.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, these might be some lofty goals, but hopefully we can hit the majority of them. The unfortunate key is the O-Line. The first 3 items (limiting sacks, bell rushing, and controlling TOP) all hinge on the OL and that unit hasn't given us the most confidence that they can dominate. Here's hoping!

 

Bell averages around 3 YPC at this point, and the Lions DL is tough. I don't see 75 yards for him. Lions DL could be in Bens face l, day. I'm saying 7 sacks and twice as many knockdowns. Megaton? Who on this team will stop him? We already give 10 yard cushions to "Joe Nobody" WR s so why would we man up on tis guy? Even in double overage we don't have anyone other than Ike to help cover

 

And let me just add, Calvin Johnson scares the crap out of me.

 

If Calvin Johnson does NOT scare you that would be news... That guy is a freak. I would love for the Steelers to get a guy like that at some point. I watch quite a bit of Lions and Vikes games just to watch AP and Megatron play. They are so fun to watch because they are so super talented.

 

they actually have a pretty good te in Fauria. he has 9 catches and 5 of them are for tds.
