It’s the battle of Pennsylvania. The boys in white and green vs. the boys in black and yellow, the battle for who makes the best hoagie, and Jalen Hurts vs. Kenny Pickett. As franchises, these teams couldn’t be in more opposite places. Pittsburgh started off the year with an injury to TJ Watt, a quarterback controversy, and all kinds of drama on and off the field. Almost immediately, the aforementioned factors began to wear on this football team. A Wattless Steelers’ pass rush is giving opposing quarterbacks enough time to watch The Irishman, Kenny Pickett is heading into his fourth game at starting quarterback, and you get the sense that this season is different from the standard we’re used to in Pittsburgh. Over the past 16 years, Mike Tomlin has yet to have a losing season, but there’s a first time for everything. The Steelers’ offense has looked about as awkward as an 8th-grade dance. At just 15.3 points per game, Pittsburgh has the second-worst offense in the NFL. Kenny Pickett is a work in progress, and although he’s been more turnover prone than Amazon around Christmas time, he’s learning how to drive the team downfield. Pickett is a rookie and a gun-slinger, he’s made mistakes, and he’ll continue to make mistakes, but in his 257-yard effort last week, it was really impressive how he moved the ball.
As bullish as anybody watching film is on Kenny Pickett’s future, make no mistake, the Eagles will win this game. Every week, I have to write 500 words on them; quite frankly, I’m running out of things to say. What’s Philadelphia’s best attribute? Is it having the highest PFF-rated offensive line? Is it the fact that despite throwing the ball less than all but two teams in the league, the Eagles average 238.5 passing yards per game (#13 in the league)? Is it drafting a quarterback with the second-best odds of winning MVP in the second round a few years ago? Or is it on the defensive side of the football? Is it having the best turnover ratio in the league? The addition of James Bradberry, who is currently third for passes deflected? Is it their 6.91% sack rate or the emergence of Jonathan Gannon? Who knows. Here’s what we do know. The Steelers are 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games played against the Eagles and are 1-7 against the spread in their last eight games against the NFC. The Steelers didn’t sack Tua once, and Jalen Hurts will have more time on his hands than Ghislaine Maxwell carving tallies in her cell. The Steelers haven’t (2-5) haven’t won a game in Philadelphia since before most of us were born. Take the Eagles Moneyline and get your free $200 from DraftKings!
