    Here's why you take Pittsburgh

    I love how everybody is taking Jacksonville and the pts. All the more reason to take Pittsburgh. Let's not forget Big Ben threw 5 picks the last time they met. That won't happen again. Pittsburgh is healthy and the offensive line will dominate the front 7. Bell only had 47 yrds rushing last game, that won't happen again. The Defensive is pissed for giving up 231 yrds rushing. They will put 8 in the box and make Bortles beat them. Bortles looked awful last week and they ONLY scored 10 pts against the Bills? I'll take Big Ben over Bake Bortles any day.

    Not to mention, the NFL wants a Pittsburgh vs NE rematch next week. That game will get way more ratings than NE vs Jacksonville.

    These home teams have played well so far. It continues today.

    Take the Burgh -7

    Who's everybody?

    Fun fact, according to NFL Research, the last six teams that lost a regular season game by at least 20 points and went on to face them in the playoffs, zero have won.

    Most of the posts I've read on this website favor Jville and the pts. CBS sports writers and even Tony Romeo favor Jville and the pts.

    Lol everybody is healthy? Shazier and AB aren’t exactly healthy.

    Jags ran all over this defense with Shazier in there last time out.

    Bortles can’t play a worse game than he did in his last one either. As long as he doesn’t have any crucial turnovers the Jags will be in this game until the end

    Fun fact, you're wrong -- the Ravens won once in this situation.

    But what I can see the public is on Pittsburgh. And they are banged up, not healthy. Jacksonville though is healthy.
    And I don't see many offensive lines that dominates that defensive line of Jacksonville. And their rush defense is a lot better after the acquisition of Darceus. It's like day and night.

    I can't see Martavis Bryant being a factor, he hasn't played to his potential all season. And Jaguars has shutdown corners. AB is ofc a tough matchup for anyone but he's been injured, facing a top corner in the league. I believe the key should be JuJu playing in the slot.

    If this turns out to be a low scoring game, +7.5 is a lot of points. You just don't air it out for 400 passing yards against the Jaguars. Bell rush attempts over perhaps?

    Well then I'm not wrong, NFL research is.
    Which season are you referring to? Remember that it says the last six teams. Perhaps Ravens was the seventh.

    Romo was dead wrong all last night, saying in the first quarter he couldn't believe Tenn. was a 2-touchdown underdog and this was going to be a close game. Wrong.

    As for his pick, I only heard him say "he likes Pittsburgh by 2." Is that 2 points or two TDS? Nantz never followed up.

    Mariota hurt his leg in the 1st quarter or that is a different game. They sacked him 8 times and no run calls because he couldn't move.

    Pitt should win this game especially with the weather. They do some stupid stuff sometimes though for me to lay 7.
