Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Baltimore (Away)
Result: Loss
So the Steelers got their first win and cover of the year. Yes, the Jets are on an upswing, but Pittsburgh rattling a rookie QB en route to their only good game of the year underwhelms us. Three of their games they failed by double-digits to cover.
The defending Super Bowl Champs have been much better. Completely overhauled, it was no shock they lost to Denver on opening night. We knew Baltimore would get better as the season wore. Plus, Denver has crushed everyone, well except Jacksonville when they were under-motivated.
The Steelers offensive line came into the season subpar and they lost their best player in Maurkice Pouncey. LeVeon Bell was supposed to bring a bit of stability to the running game, but has failed miserably. They have gone 11 straight games without rushing for 100 yards.
Pittsburgh defense benefitted from some really bad Geno Smith throws. True, the Ravens run game has been stagnant, but they have talent and a much better chance at breaking out.
Look for Baltimore to use Torrey Smith a lot more as he was left out of the game plan last week.
The only reason Pittsburgh is favorite is because of their reputation. They are what their record says they are.
