Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers $4,400

The New England Patriots defense is intriguing here, but the offense could put them on the field too often to excel. So, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is the move here. They are in a much different position than the Titans. While they were forced to have a bye week, they didn’t have any COVID cases, meaning they were allowed to practice fully. There shouldn’t be a huge conditioning issue with the Steelers defense.

They are facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who are in a bad way with that offense. Carson Wentz got a win last week, but he’s still desperate to prove he’s the right man under center. Second-round pick Jalen Hurts is looming, and the Eagles offense is so injured.

Only Burrow and Watson have been sacked more than Wentz this season. He also has seven interceptions and is about to face the best secondary on his schedule after the NFL made them angry by forcing them to take their bye week.

This is just a mismatch. It’s a really good defense against a really bad offense. The Steelers could dominate the entire game, and Hurts might make his first appearance under center.
