God, that was an awful pick on the 49ers last night. Shameful.
The Steelers just can't get it done in the redzone, but Le'Veon Bell should find room to operate with the Texans struggling at LB with a series of injuries. On the flip side, Arian Foster looks capable of a big night against a Steeler run D that can give up yards from scrimmage.
Presumably, the Steelers will load up the box, because Ryan Fitzpatrick is gash and limiting Foster will severely handicap Houston who don't look as though they have enough on offense.
Ben Roethlisberger will be ducking and diving all night as J J Watt comes marauding through the Pittsburgh O line, but Bell with keep the Texans honest and honouring the run, and that in turn should allow Big Ben to hit Antonio Brown for a couple of big plays. There's just a touch more balance.
Give the points.
Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers -3 @ 2.05
Pick: 1st TD Le'Veon Bell @ 8.5
Pick: Anytime TD Houston D/ST @ 4.5
