Leg 1: Eagles ML (-258)
In this one, the Eagles are favored by 5.5 points, but I’ll be safe and stick with the moneyline instead of taking the spread.
Although I believe the Steelers have a good chance of covering the spread, it will be difficult to defeat the Eagles, who have won nine in a row and at home.
With an average of more than 190 yards per game, the Eagles have the league’s finest rushing attack. The Steelers give up nearly one rushing touchdown per week to opposing running backs, despite having the fourth-lowest rushing yards per game (91.5).
Quarterbacks have also recently been able to toss touchdowns against them. In the past two games, they have given up five goals.
With A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles have the players to make an impact, despite having the second-worst passing game in the league in terms of yards per game.
Although having something different would be wonderful, that has some good matches versus Beanie Bishop Jr. and Joey Porter Jr., respectively.
This season, Bishop has given up 352 yards and three touchdowns on 37 catches of 55 targets. Porter Jr., meanwhile, has given up 38 receptions for 492 yards and one touchdown on 60 targets.
The rushing prowess of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will also be a challenge for the Steelers. In terms of rushing touchdowns, he is tied for the league lead.
Although it will be close, I believe the Eagles win at home.
Leg 2: Saquon Barkley Anytime TD (-185)
As previously stated, the Steelers are giving up nearly one rushing score per week to opponent running backs, despite having a strong run defense in terms of rushing yards allowed.
Since Week 5, they have really given up at least one in every game except one. Although they have kept the yards per carry low this season, they do have a tendency to give up scores.
Barkley is tied for third place with 11 running touchdowns and leads the league in carries and rushing yards.
Here, he’ll receive one.
Leg 3: A.J. Brown Anytime TD (+120)
Brown has had a poor season. Only 48 of his catches have resulted in 836 yards and four scores. In the previous two seasons, he had at least 145 targets.
Although the Eagles’ passing game hasn’t been as good as they would like, there are a couple things going on that help Brown score.
First, four of the five passing touchdowns that the Steelers have given up in the past two games have gone to wide receivers. They gave up three to the Bengals the week before and one to the Browns the previous week.
In addition, Brown ought to be able to make a few catches versus Porter Jr. He has only been given one touchdown, yes.
But we also need to consider the human aspect of this. Brown expressed his dissatisfaction with the passing game following last week’s game. You have to presume that the quarterback and coaching staff will prioritize getting their guy the ball when situations like this occur.
Brown’s average catch is 17.4 yards.
Watch for Hurts to use his top weapon to accomplish something.
