It’s prediction time, folks. Riding a two-game win streak, the Pittsburgh Steelers are headed to Houston to square off against the Texans. After an opening weekend blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Pittsburgh has found a way to sneak past the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders.
The Steelers currently sit as three-point favorites and we think this is a game they can and must win. The Steelers pass rush is ridiculous with Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt on the edges. The Texans are looking at starting either a third-string offensive tackle or a practice squad player at left tackle and this doesn’t bode well for Texans quarterback CJ Stroud.
Meanwhile, the Steelers offense is still struggling but those big plays are going to be enough to outpace the Texans offense. We look for wide receiver George Pickens to have a big performance.
