Curious about your opinions about this prop: no score in first 7 1/2 minutes (-130).
My feeling is that we have 2 run-heavy offenses, which should keep the clock moving. If Baltimore wins the toss, they should be able to eat up 3 minutes before having to punt (god forbid they get a first down). And then Pitt would have 4 to 5 1/2 minutes to put up a score, which if they run the ball as I expect, they might not be able to do, assuming Baltimore doesn't stop them. If Pitt wins the toss, well I think they eat clock too with the run, just have to hope Balto stops them before they get into FG range.
Of course I am assuming that neither the opening kickoff nor an ensuing punt yields a significant return.
Anyone have any thoughts about this prop?
