It seems that confidence in the Pittsburgh Steelers is beginning to waver among NFL pundits. It’s hard to blame them for wondering if even the Steelers defense can sustain a playoff run when the offense offers so little in terms of support. This week the 8-6 Steelers will take on the 5-9 Jets hoping to hold onto the No. 6 seed in the AFC.
What do the experts think about their chances? For that we turn to the folks at NFL Pick Watch. The aggregate expert picks from all over the internet and gives us all the information we need in one place.
This week the experts are still favoring the Steelers but perhaps not as much as they had in recent weeks. That 17-10 home loss to the Bills really puts the sustainability of Steelers offense into question. As of Saturday morning, 82 percent of the NFL experts they draw from were picking Pittsburgh.
Look for this game to be another physical matchup with both defenses doing the heavy lifting to shut down underwhelming offenses.
