Lines, Odds, Picks and Preview |
Philadelphia has been called the NFL’s “Dream Team” during the month of August and came away with an uneventful 13-6 home win over the Baltimore Ravens last Thursday night as 3-point favorites.
Eagles head coach Andy Reid has announced that his starters will expect to play the entire first half in this particular contest, as he finds it to be a great opportunity to play his guys against one of the league’s best teams.
Wide receiver DeSean Jackson did not play in the opener due to holding out, but has returned to the practice field with vigor this week, catching two long touchdown passes against teammate Asante Samuel.
Pittsburgh seemed disinterested in competing in its 16-7 loss to the Washington Redskins to open the season, as the team failed to put together any sort of game plan.
The Steelers were out-gained by a significant 452-186 margin in yardage, while losing the time of possession battle by nearly 19 minutes.
Bettors will find that the ‘under’ is 13-4 in Tomlin’s tenure in the Steel City during preseason action.
