New York Jets

No team in the NFL has had more controversy surrounding them in the last couple weeks than the New York Jets. The infamous trip by Sal Alosi put them in the media all this week, and their drubbing at the hands of the Patriots the week before wasn’t helpful either. Can they get things turned around with a big win in Pittsburgh?

Head Coach Rex Ryan said he considered benching Mark Sanchez last week. Sanchez has thrown zero touchdowns and four interceptions in his last two games. He has now completed only 53.5% of his passes for the year. The Jets running game was stellar at the beginning of the year, but they have been average over the last few games. Tomlinson and Greene give this team a terrific tandem in the backfield, but this offense must get some more balance to beat the best defenses in the league. The Jets are averaging 21 points per game this season.

The Jets defense has been pretty solid this year. They are allowing only 18.6 points per game. The secondary has been beaten by some of the top quarterbacks in the league, but the front seven have done a great job all year long. I expect this team to bring a lot of pressure this week and try to force Roethlisberger to throw some errant passes. Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com

Pittsburgh

The Steelers have won five of their last six games and they now sit at 10-3 on the season. Baltimore is just behind them in the AFC North, so they need to keep winning.

The Steelers offense has improved since Ben Roethlisberger has been back in the lineup. Mike Wallace has turned into a great big play receiver for the Steelers, and Hines Ward is still the tough receiver that does everything to help his team win. Heath Miller missed last week, but he will be back in the lineup this week, which is a key for this offense. Rashard Mendenhall has had a big year, and the Steelers have gotten back to successfully running the football this season.

Though the offense has been pretty good, the Steelers are where they are right now because of their amazing defense. The Steelers are easily the best in the NFL at stopping the run. Opponents are averaging just 60 yards per game on the ground this year. The secondary has been solid, but they will likely be without their star this weekend. Troy Polamalu aggravated a leg injury last week and is expected to miss this game. The Steelers linebackers are as good as you’ll find in the NFL, and they are very hard hitters. This defense may be the best in football.

The Pick:

The Steelers are playing much better football right now than the Jets. I don’t think the Jets have the type of passing attack needed to open it up against Pittsburgh. I like the Steelers defense to flex their muscles in this one. I think the Steelers will cover the spread here.

New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Score Prediction: Pittsburgh 24 New York 10
