Ahead of Week 14's Thursday Night Football contest, I'm here to provide a quartet of Steelers vs. Patriots predictions.'
Pittsburgh is coming off a disappointing 24-10 home loss to the Cardinals. Of bigger concern is they lost starting quarterback Kenny Pickett in the process and will start Mitchell Trubisky on Thursday.'
As for New England, they're 2-10 and find themselves dead last in the AFC East. New England hasn't won a game outright since Week 7.
Here's a look at the NFL betting lines for Thursday's game, as well as my bets for the contest.'
Steelers vs. Patriots Betting Odds
- Pittsburgh Steelers Moneyline: -250
- New England Patriots Moneyline: +200
- Game Spread: Pittsburgh Steelers -5'
- Game Total: 30 Points
Steelers vs. Patriots Predictions
Maybe this line makes sense if Kenny Pickett was starting, but the Steelers will send out Mitch Trubisky on Thursday.'
That should allow New England's defense to excel for another game. Despite holding three straight opponents under 10 points, they're 0-3 straight up in those games.'
Plus, Pittsburgh's run defense played horribly against the Cardinals.'
