Fair enough.

We know that the odds of recovering an expected onside kick are about 15%. We don't know what the odds are of the Steelers stopping the Jags had Pitt kicked deep. For me, however, it's got to be considerably better than 15%. I'd have to say about 45%-50% - and I like the idea of the game essentially on the line, the Steeler crowd going nuts, and Jax & Bortles having come this far but needing to do it one more time with all the pressure in the world on them - but who knows... At any rate, I'm assuming you must - by definition - think Pitt stopping Jax in that sitch is closer to 15%. So again, fair enough. Agree to disagree
