This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) take on the Arizona Cardinals (3-8-1) in a full-blown playoff atmosphere. No, this game doesn’t carry the weight for the Cardinals it does for Pittsburgh but you can bet they would love to defend their home turf and do their part to wreck the Steelers season.
And it seems some of the NFL pundits feel like the Cardinals have the talent to do it. We once again looked to our friends over the NFL Pick Watch for all the expert picks in one spot.
As of Friday morning, 83 percent of the experts are going with the Steelers. Considering the disparity in records, you might have thought more experts would be leaning Pittsburgh. But the reality is when it comes to the Steelers, you can never assume anything.
The biggest challenge this will be whether or not they can score enough points on offense to win. Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray presents a unique athletic challenge for the Steelers’ defense and so the offense is going to have to pull its weight this week.
