(NFL) Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -105.00 Tennessee (Home)
Result: Win
Pittsburgh is coming off a heartbreaking loss to the New York Jets, but the two games before that, the Steelers looked unstoppable. A few times this year, Pittsburgh has allowed themselves to start slow and get themselves down early. If they want to go into Nashville and get the win and the cover, they need to start fast and finish strong. The Tennessee Titans have gone to rookie QB, Zach Mettenberger, and he is still learning the game as he goes along. The only true strength the Titans can claim is that they have a top ten pass defense, but that is it. That is their bread and butter of their defense as their secondary is tough. Michael Griffin, the team's 2007 1st overall pick, has become one of the better safeties in the game, amassing 47 solo tackles with two interceptions and three sacks on the season. But with a good secondary and the Jets game film from last week, taking the points is the right thing to do here on MNF! The Steelers will have to run with Le'Veon Bell who has only a single touchdown to go with his 747 yards in rushing, while LeGarrette Blount has only 260 yards rushing in ten games. This will be a game where the team that scores last will win and I'll take the Titans +6 seeing as how the Steelers have had their suspect moments, the Titans are a hungry team, and over 70% of gamblers are all over Pittsburgh tonight, I am going to do the smart thing and take the Titans and go against the public tonight with the underdog.
