NFL Betting Preview
Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)
Monday, 8:30 pm Eastern – ESPN
SBG Global Opening Line: Steelers -7.5 , Total 37
The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking for revenge as they host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Last year the Steelers lost twice to the Ravens and ended up losing the division to Baltimore. This year the Steelers hold a one game lead over Baltimore and a win on Monday would make it very difficult on the Ravens. Pittsburgh is unbeaten at home this season and has not lost a Monday night game at home in more than 16 years. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Steelers at Home.
Last year the Ravens won the AFC Central and went 13-3. This year they have already lost three games and a loss on Monday would drop them to .500. Last year the Ravens had success against the Steelers winning 27-0 and 31-7. They held Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in check and dominated running back Willie Parker. "You know how you felt afterward," Roethlisberger said. "You got embarrassed twice, once here, once there. It's not a good thing. It leaves a taste in your mouth. They roughed us up, a lot. We need another all-around performance like we had (last Sunday), in all phases of the game.” Last week Pittsburgh defeated Cincinnati 24-13. Roethlisberger is playing better this season as he has 15 touchdowns with only six interceptions. "I think offensively we're playing well," Roethlisberger said. "I think the key is if we can keep doing that, just trying to get better. We need to keep improving and keep working on trying to be a good football team. I think we have the potential to be great, but we've got a ways to go."
Baltimore has lost their last three Monday Night road games. The Ravens have the second best defense in the league allowing 268 yards per game. The Steelers are first at 256.9 yards per game. The Ravens were off last week after losing the previous week to Buffalo 19-14. The bye week helped Baltimore as they get a lot of injured players back. Quarterback Steve McNair, center Mike Flynn, offensive tackle Adam Terry, defensive end Trevor Pryce and cornerback Chris McAlister are expected back tonight. The Ravens have won their last five games following their bye week.

Houston Rockets (3-0) at Dallas Mavericks (2-1)
Monday, 8:35 pm Eastern – NBA-TV
SBG Global Opening Line: Mavericks -5, Total 190
The Houston Rockets at 3-0 are off to their best start in 11 years. Staying unbeaten will be difficult though as they travel to Dallas to face a Mavericks team that they rarely beat. Dallas is 2-1 on the season and is coming off a 123-102 win against Sacramento on Saturday. Josh Howard returned after missing the first two games of the season due to suspension and scored 27 points. J.J. Barea scored a career-high 25 in place of the injured Devin Harris. Dallas opened the season with a win against Cleveland and then lost against Atlanta. Last season the Mavericks were 3-1 against Houston including two wins at home. The Mavericks have won four straight and 11 of the last 14 meetings at home against Houston. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Mavericks at Home .
It could be more difficult tonight for the Mavericks since this is a new Rockets team. "We have Houston on Monday night and they are playing well in Rick Adelman's system," guard Jason Terry said. "Obviously, Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming are a big part of what they do, but their role players have been the ones stepping up." What has helped Houston win so far this season is their defense which is allowing only 89.3 points per game. The Rockets are coming off an 89-80 over Portland on Saturday. Yao Ming had 21 points and 12 rebounds, while Tracy McGrady added 20 points and six assists.
