New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction
This is a big game for the Steelers, the No. 5 seed in the AFC.
The fact that the Steelers have seven wins this year is a bit of a surprise, given that they have been outgained in ten of their 12 games.
The strength of this Steelers team is their defense, led by one of the best in football, TJ Watt.
Pittsburgh fired their offensive coordinator, Matt Canada, two weeks ago.
Since the team fired Canada, their offense has outgained opponents in the last two games.
The offense will have a bigger challenge tonight without their starting back, Kenny Pickett.
Pittsburgh will hand the keys to Mitch Trubisky, who has seen limited action this season.
One player to watch tonight is running back Jaylin Warren, whose usage has gone up in the last couple of weeks.
The Patriots have been one of the worst teams in football.
New England's 2-10 record is the worst record in the AFC.
There are questions as to if the Patriots are in full tank mode.
Quarterback Mac Jones has had a season to forget, which has earned him a spot on the bench.
Jones has thrown ten touchdowns compared to 12 interceptions.
Veteran running back Zeke Elliot will have an expanded role tonight without Rhamondre Stevenson. Zeke has rushed for two touchdowns this season.
Tight end Hunter Henry has the most receiving touchdowns of anyone on the active roster with three.
Let’s dive into my player prop lock of the night.
