ATS PICK: Houston
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Call this the Look At The Opponents pick.
Everyone’s gushing over the Pittsburgh defense – and it really is that good – but it also got the break of starting out with a tune-up against the Giants and then against a Denver team that lost starting QB Drew Lock early on.
Even then, the offense didn’t explode – scoring 26 points in each game – and only beating the Broncos by five.
Meanwhile, all Houston has had to do is start out the season at Kansas City, and then follow that up with a date against Baltimore. Pittsburgh might be terrific, but the Texans now get to face a team that’s not one of the two best in the NFL.
The Texan running game won’t be there, but Deshaun Watson is a major step up for the Steeler D after facing Daniel Jones and Jeff Driskel.
