10* NFL Game of the Week
(NFL) San Francisco vs. Pittsburgh,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -109.00 Pittsburgh (Home)
Result: Loss
I like the Steelers plus the pts.
They ended last season on a four-game winning streak and won their last five games when Kenny Pickett was healthy. Now TJ Watt returns, and they were 8-2 when he was healthy. The offense is fast with Diontae Johnson, George Pickens, Jaylen Warren, Darnell Washington and QB Pickett has a year under his belt of experience. This defense in the last seven weeks crushed people and suffocated offenses. On the flip-side San Francisco, DeMeco Ryans, the DC is gone, George Kittle may not play, Brock Purdy has film on him and Steelers had plenty of time to prep for him.
I think the Steelers win, so I'll take the points in this early kickoff.
