AMEDEUS' NFL PIGSKIN POUNDER!
(NFL) Steelers (PIT) vs. Eagles (PHI),
Point Spread: 5.50 | -109.00 Steelers (PIT) (Away)
Result: Loss
The Steelers are coming into this game with a 10-3 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games. They have won their last 2 straight games and they are coming off of a 27-14 win against the Browns which they got their revenge for a loss from a few weeks ago. Their offense has been very good since making the switch to Wilson, scoring 27+ points in each of their last 2 games, but their defense has also been very good as they have held opponents under 20 points in 5 of their last 8 games. They have been very good at stopping the run as they have held good running backs like Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry under 100 yards in 3 of their last 4 games, and that is going to be a key piece in winning this game. They are going up against an Eagles team that is 11-2 this season and they have been playing very well recently. They have won their last 9 straight games and have been very dominant in a lot of these wins, but they are coming off of a 22-16 win at home against the Panthers in their last game which they did not play great in. Saquon Barkley has been running well all season, but the Steelers have the defense to stop him and Hurts has not been playing well in recent games. He has had less than 200 passing yards in 3 straight games and has had less than 150 passing yards in his last 2. The Steelers defense will make it difficult for the Eagles to move the ball both on the ground and through the air. The Eagles defense has also been very good as they have held their last 5 opponents to 20 points or less, but they have given up 100+ rushing yards in each of their last 2 games. Harris has been running well in recent games and the Steelers have found some rhythm with both Harris and Warren getting carries. They will have success on the ground after Hubbard put up 92 rushing yards last week himself, and that is going to open up the passing game for Wilson to do some damage deep downfield. The Eagles have also had a big problem with their kicker in recent games as he has been missing quite a bit and that could be a big factor in a game like this. The Steelers will cover the spread in this game.
