Prediction
Steelers 27, Cardinals 26.
Moneyline ( ?)
The Steelers have won four of their last five, while the Cardinals are on a five-game losing streak. The Cardinals give good value at +125 but the smart money is to go with the STEELERS ( -133), as they have been winning and are in the middle of the playoff race. A $10 bet on Pittsburgh will earn $7.50 in profit.
Against the Spread ( ?)
The Steelers are favored 2.5 points on the road (-110). The Cardinals are 7-4-1 ATS and have not lost against the spread in consecutive weeks since Weeks 3 and 4. After an embarrassing performance, they will bounce back. Take the CARDINALS (+2.5, -110).
Over/Under ( ?)
The total is set at 43.5 points. The Cardinals have allowed at least 28 points in five straight games and in six of seven. They have scored at least 25 in six of their last eight games. Take the OVER (-106).
