Detroit -1 @ Pittsburgh — O/U 47

Matt Stafford has been performing at an elite level over the past month, throwing for 1300+ yards and 11 touchdowns. The Steelers have been dreadful against the run (26th), but are still susceptible to blown assignments in coverage. Reggie Bush and Joicque Bell have been lethal receivers out of the backfield. Pittsburgh lacks game busters offensively if “Big Ben” is contained within the pocket; it’s when he buys time with the scramble drill that their chunk gains appear.Controlled pressure up front will decide the outcome.

Prediction: 24-21 Detroit
