Steelers vs. Eagles Key Players to Watch

Pittsburgh Steelers

Pat Freiermuth: The Steelers tight end has become a big piece of the Pittsburgh offense, leading the team in touchdown receptions with five. He has also racked up 13 combined receptions across their last three games and could be a key to keeping up with the Eagles on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles

A.J. Brown: There have been some reports of grumbling coming inside the Eagles locker room for their receivers, mainly A.J. Brown, who isn't happy with the state of the Eagles pass attack. Do they Eagles try to make things good by tossing the ball Brown's way earlier and often, or will they stick to what they do well and run the football?

Steelers vs. Eagles Prediction and Pick

In this week's edition of the "Road to 272 Bets", I broke down why I'm taking the points with the Steelers as underdogs:

We're back in another situation betting on a game involving the Pittsburgh Steelers. By virtually every metric you can look at, the Eagles are the superior team, but Mike Tomlin continues to get the most out of his team on a weekly basis and while you may think Philadelphia will win this game, covering a 5.5-point spread is another question.

The Steelers have arguably played some of their best football in recent weeks, ranking ninth in the NFL in Net Yards per Play over their last three games at +0.5. They also have the rare ability to slow down the rush attack of the Eagles, ranking ninth in the league in opponent yards per carry, keeping teams to just 4.3 yards per rush.

I'll take the points with Pittsburgh.

Pick: Steelers +5 (-112)
