This is a 10* TOTAL ASSASSIN on the UNDER between the Houston Texans and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
I think these teams are going to play to a hard-fought UNDER on Monday night. Both clubs come in at 3-3, the Steelers have actually alternated wins and losses through their first six and will be extremely motivated to atone for a listless 31-10 setback at Cleveland last weekend. Tonight's the night the Steelers can make their move though as this is the first of three straight in front of the home town crowd (note that Pittsburgh has won six of eight at Heinz): "There's no time to panic," said Steelers' QB Ben Roethlisberger earlier in the week. "You guys are waiting for us to panic. We're not panicking." Roethlisberger though has been his most inconsistent of his career so far this season, last week he posted a campaign-low 64.4 passer rating, going just 21 of 42 for 228 yards and an INT. "Big Ben" will need to be wary of Texans defensive star JJ Watt, who leads the league with 20 hits on QB's so far, posting four of his team's ten total sacks. Also note that Houston is expected to have rookie LB Jadeveon Clowney back in the line-up, out since Week 1 with a knee issue. The Texans has been plagued by slow starts this year and that was once again the case vs. the Colts last week, after falling behind 24-0 after one quarter, the team would storm back, only to come up short in the 33-28 setback; note that it was the fifth time this year that Houston has been shutout in the first quarter, including in four straight with the offense averaging a paltry 40.5 yards in the process. And that doesn't bode well for the Texans as Pittsburgh has been giving up just 44.7 YPG in the first quarter so far this season. Houston's main issue is a big one, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is in my opinion, not a long term solution for the team, he's been particularly slow in the first quarters of games as well, he in fact ranks last in the AFC with a 58.9 passer rating in that frame (and note that that number drops to a miserable 21.8 over the past four games). Both of these defenses catch a break this week, neither team's offense is playing with much chemistry or consistency right now: note that Houston has seen the total go UNDER the number in 15 of its last 16 when playing the role of underdog and in 12 of its last 13 after two or more consecutive SU losses. And note that Pittsburgh has seen the total go UNDER the number in 14 of its last 24 as a favorite and in both MNF games it's played over the last two seasons. I think that the situation, the numbers and the trends all do indeed clearly point to the UNDER as the savvy wager in this one.
