If you were planning on betting the Steelers vs. Redskins Monday Night Football game, you might have a slight advantage. 

Making up for the fact that there is not a whole lot of head-to-head historic stats available between these two teams - they've only played each other three times in the last 10 years - there is a "middling opportunity" available.

Wiseguy shops such as PinnacleSports.com had the Washington Redskins listed as -1 favorites.  Bookmaker.com, which also happens to be a wiseguy shop catering to both professional and recreational players, had the Steelers at +3.  The idea of course is to bet both sides at two different books.  If the Redskins happen to win by 2 points, both your bets win.  PinnacleSports.com does not accept US customers however. 

The last meeting between these two teams (a pre-season game) was actually won by 2 points.  Pittsburgh had the victory however.

It should be pointed out that approximately 75 percent of all online sportsbooks had this game at Washington -2  ½.  This is definitely a game that incorporates value shopping. 

And despite the last minute drop to -1 at some of these wiseguy shops, the line on this game really has remained within a half point of where it opened at most sportsbooks.  The line opened at Washington -3.

They may be defined as “underdogs” or “Cinderella teams”, a term that is usually saved for teams that have little to no chance of winning even a single game during the NCAA Tournament. Teams like Loyola Marymount (1990), George Mason (2006), Davidson (2008), VCU (2011), UConn (2014), and Loyola Chicago (2018) come to mind when conversations turn toward the most surprising tournament runs in recent memory.
