PIT +3 at CAR
The Panthers are coming off a great 30-24 road underdog win against the Seahawks – but 2021 starter-turned-2022 backup-turned-starter Sam Darnold had a 5.8 AY/A in that game on just 24 pass attempts, so it's not as if he's the reason they won. And his career mark is also 5.8 AY/A. He's still the same-ol' Sam. Darnold should almost never be a favorite, and the Panthers are now favorites. As such, they're 0-3 ATS this year. Yeah, they're 6-2 ATS under interim HC Steve Wilks, but af ter last week I believe the market has now caught up to the Panthers, who have never been favored under Wilks. In his only two games as a favorite (with the 2018 Cardinals), Wilks was 0-2 ATS and failed to cover the spread by a margin of -13.25 points. This is a prime spot to sell high on the Panthers – and also to buy low on the Steelers, who last week suffered a tough 16-14 loss as home favorites against the Ravens. Rookie QB Kenny Pickett (concussion) seems likely to miss this week for the Steelers, but backup QB Mitchell Trubisky is a veteran, and he's better than Darnold despite his faults. The Steelers have the edge at quarterback and coach, and the Panthers have a mediocre home-field advantage. If you give me +3 with the Steelers against a bad team, I'll take it.
