For the Monday Contest, we have a GREAT match up in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers go to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers.
So, we have another edition of Monday Night Football OVER/UNDER
For those that don't remember, OVER/UNDER is a classic betting term. It's a bet that has nothing to do with who will win the game. Instead, you are betting on whether the TOTAL number of points (or goals, or runs, or whatever) scored by BOTH TEAMS will be OVER or UNDER a certain target number. So when you hear somebody say, "the over/under for this football game is 52.5, that means the target number is 52.5
Anybody betting the OVER is betting that a total of 53 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the UNDER is betting that a total of 52 or less points will be scored by both teams in the game
For this edition of OVER/UNDER, we will be asking you to make two predictions
First, you have to predict who will win the game
Second, you have to predict whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be OVER or UNDER the target number
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict BOTH

The is a very interesting match up...
Tampa Bay is at home
Tampa Bay is 2 - 0 on the season
Tampa Bay has beaten two very good teams and are looking great
Pittsburgh is on the road

Pittsburgh TIED one of the worst teams in the league last year and got beat by a good KC team
