Green Bay Packers @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Sportsbook Odds: Steelers -1
The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming apart at the seams and it's fairly unclear at one point will it stop. The Steelers, who are the reigning Super Bowl Champions, are now having lapses on both offense and defense that the franchise hasn't seen in many years.
Over the last month, the Steelers have lost to some of the NFL's worst outfits, which is not something the Steel City has been accustomed to seeing. The Steelers have lost to Kansas City, Oakland and Cleveland in that span, and now face a stiffer test as the Green Bay Packers come to town.
The collapse has been surprising for many NFL pundits as the Steelers still have most of the same personnel. One notable loss is Pro Bowl safety Troy Polamalu, who has been sidelined for most of the season. Even so, it was the Steelers offense that was limited to just six points last Thursday night, which shows that the problems are team-wide.
The biggest issue for the Steelers has been their pass defense and it is going to get a big test this week. They haven't been able to slow anyone down and now Aaron Rodgers and a good team of receivers are looking to pick them apart.
The Packers have more to play for but the Steelers are too good to keep losing like this. Look for a tough bounce-back win at home.
NFL Betting Picks: Steelers -1
New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
Sports Betting Odds: Patriots -7
The New England Patriots finally got on track on Sunday but unfortunately they will still feel the heat. While they won, they did it in ugly fashion against a below average Carolina Panthers squad. On top of that, there are allegations that Randy Moss quit on the team and also, the Miami Dolphins also won to keep the race in the AFC East close.
The good news for the Patriots is they get to matchup with the lowly Buffalo Bills. The Patriots have not played like a Super Bowl contender and they have been extremely flimsy on the road this year. They are just 1-5 away from home.
The Bills are a scrappy bunch and they played the Patriots tough in their first meeting. Look for a Patriots win but a Bills cover in this contest.
Football Picks: Bills +7
