I actually meant to bring this up earlier and in my ramblings just forgot.

The move from 3.5 to 6.5 is insignificant and what a lot of players consider a false move in the line.

Normally when a book is getting killed with too much action on one side they move the line to balance out the money a bit better. You can't tell me people are running to the window to bet the Steelers here, no way. The line should be moving the other way.

Reguardless if the line is 3.5 or 6.5 Pittsburgh still has to win by one more score than a FG, granted they could win by exactly two FG's but that still puts the game and spread on the line during the last drive reguardless and who bets a game if they know it's coming down to the last drive?

What this line move tells me is Vegas wants all the Bears action it can get, and that worries me.
