Patriots @ Steelers (-6), O/U 30.5
Patriots — Steelers. What happened to these two organizations that we have to suffer through a Zappe-Trubisky primetime game? Poor Al Michaels.
Without Rhamondre, and with Zappe at QB, it looks like Zeke will be fed in this one. Can he have a renaissance game? Can he put up a statline of 24 carries for 115 yards and 2 TDs? I’m not sure. But this team still hangs their hat on their defense, and they should have no problem containing the Mitch Trubisky — led Steelers. I can easily see this being one of those classic defensive, field position type of game where punts inside the 5 are the biggest plays made.
I’ll take the points with the Pats here along with the under. Ugly, low scoring games mean take the points. That’s what I’m doing here.
