AAA's 10* EARLY SIDE OF WEEK (INSANE 22-9, 71% L5 Sunday's!)
(NFL) Pittsburgh vs. Miami, 10/16/2016 9:00 AM, Score: 15 - 30
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 Miami (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* SIDE OF THE WEEK on the Miami Dolphins.

Setting the scene: At 1-4, the Dolphins have little hope at making the playoffs. At 1-5 though, it would truly then be time to start looking ahead to next season. It's do-or-die every week for Miami and while we're going to stop short in calling for an outright upset, we do think that the intensity the home side brings today will prove to be the difference.

The Steelers: Pittsburgh beat the Jets on Sunday to move to 4-1. The Steelers have looked unstoppable for the most part, except for their inexplicable 34-3 setback to the Eagles.

The Dolphins: Miami lost 30-17 to the Titans last week. Ryan Tannehill and RB Jay Ajayi have got to get things figured out quickly, or heads are going to roll in South Beach.

The bottom line: Note that Pittsburgh is just 1-3 ATS in its last four as a road fav of 3 1/2 to seven points, while Miami is 3-1 ATS in its last four after two or more consecutive SU losses. This is a great situational play, as we believe the visitors are going to get caught in a classic "spot" scenario here, with a game against New England next week, followed by their bye-week, all signs point to the Steelers "looking ahead" to that much more important part of their schedule. Combined with the "do-or-die" mentality that the Fish have to bring tonight, all signs point to the points as the savvy move in this contest. Play on the DOLPHINS.
