Total: 40.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were held to 17 points during its opening preseason games last week. Don't expect either team to improve their scoring in this Week 2 preseason matchup.
The Eagles could manage just 17 points despite their opponent, Tampa Bay, turning the ball over five times. Not once did the Eagles launch a scoring drive that wasn't set up by a Buccaneers turnover.
Philadelphia netted just 187 yards and 12 first downs. The Eagles' offensive line and wide receivers all looked terrible. The longest reception by an Eagles wideout was 10 yards.
The Steelers' high-powered offense is likely to be kept under wraps until the regular season. There's no reason for Mike Tomlin to risk playing Ben Roethlisberger this early in the preseason and backup quarterback Bruce Gradkowski is dealing with a hamstring injury so he's not likely to see action either. This should mean a lot of Landry Jones - and we know how ineffective he is.
The Steelers couldn't pick up a single first down until their fourth drive against the Lions last week.
It's worth noting, too, that the two teams meet in Week 3 of the regular season. So don't expect either coach to reveal any tricky stuff on offense.
