4* Money Maker
(NFL) Jacksonville vs. Pittsburgh, 10/08/2017 9:00 AM, Score: 30 - 9
Point Spread: -8.00 | -110.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the STEELERS today. Pretty simple thinking for me here. Jags now playing their 3rd straight road game. In London, where we cashed a nice, easy win. Last week in NJ, an out right loss as a fave (I also had them). On a side note, I thought the fact the Jags play in London every year would make the transition to and from England a bit easier for them. And now. They are in Pittsburgh. Steelers and especially Big Ben, always tougher at home. Jaguars again, off an OT game. Tough. 3 straight road games are tough anywhere. Round trip to London. OT. And now an always tough Pitt team. Pitt puts up about 30 a game at home. I know they have KC on deck. But home wins are important. We know Jacksonville has trouble slowing down the run. Pitt has big play WRs that can make things even worse. And finally. Do we, even getting more than a TD, want to back Bortles if he has to go toe to toe with Big Ben putting up points? 34-14 seems very likely to me. 4* Money Maker PITT STEELERS
