Why The Patriots Could Cover The Spread

The Patriots are having their worst season in two decades, and it has been a hot mess. Unfortunately, this offense has been the main culprit, in addition to injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Zappe has 299 yards passing with no touchdowns and two interceptions, while Mac Jones has 2120 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. Unfortunately, neither has gotten the job done. Elliot is the main guy now, with Stevenson out. Ultimately, he has rushed 112 times for 429 yards and two scores. Demario Douglass is still not practicing, and Kendrick Bourne is done with a torn ACL. Thus, Hunter Henry must step up and only has 32 receptions for 313 yards and three scores. Parker has 27 catches for 264 yards.

The defense is hurting but still managing to cobble together some decent games. Ultimately, Christian Barmore has 20 solo tackles and four sacks. Ja'Whaun Bentley has also notched 38 solo tackles and four sacks. Overall, the New England defense has been “bend but not break” for the most part.

The Patriots will cover the spread if they can dominate the clock and follow the Cardinals' playbook. Then, they need to stop the Steelers from moving the ball.

Why The Steelers Could Cover The Spread

The Steelers are a hot mess on offense. Yet, they are still in playoff positioning and can make the playoffs despite a near-historically poor offense that has been awful throughout the season.

Trubisky will get the start for this game and needs to have a good game. Overall, he will have help from the running game. Harris has rushed 159 times for 661 yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Warren has been solid, with 102 rushes for 601 yards and three scores while also catching 38 passes for 243 yards. Pickens is their best receiver, with 44 receptions for 748 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile, Johnson has 34 catches for 418 yards and two touchdowns.

The defense had a bad game against Arizona. Now, they hope to bounce back. Watt will be ready to go, as he has netted 34 solo tackles and 14 sacks. Likewise, Alex Highsmith has tallied 25 solo tackles and six sacks. Minkah Fitzpatrick will play through the pain of a fractured hand and has 41 solo tackles this season. Subsequently, the defense will need to pressure the Patriots.

The Steelers will cover the spread if they can manage to control field position. Then, they need to play strong defense.

Final Patriots-Steelers Prediction & Pick

When the schedule makers made this game, they did not anticipate this much disparity in the records. Likewise, they did not anticipate both offenses to be this bad. Expect both offenses to continue struggling with bad passes left and right. Consequently, this game feels like it might end with a 13-10 score.

Final Patriots-Steelers Prediction & Pick: Under: 30.5 (-118)
