Why Bet on the Steelers?

The Steelers come into Week 14 with the firm conviction of adding a victory that will help them get closer to the Baltimore Ravens in the first place of the AFC North. Right now, the difference is only two games, so it is within their reach.

Likewise, it’s of note that Mike Tomlin, the Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, verified on Sunday night that Pickett, his starting QB, should undergo surgery on his ankle after he left the game against the Cardinals, which Pittsburgh lost 10-24.

Tomlin stated that Pickett aggravated his ankle ailment against Arizona, which put him on the injury report last week. While he did not provide a specific duration for his absence, he did rule him out for Thursday’s game against the Patriots. In Pickett’s place, Mitch Trubisky will be the starter.

Why Bet on the Patriots?

On the other side, we have the New England Patriots, one of the worst teams in this 2023/24 NFL season, but they can take advantage of Pickett’s absence in the Steelers offense to try to do some damage.

Likewise, it looks like this season is already a done deal for the Patriots, as they head into this game with a 2-10 record with 5 consecutive losses. In addition, this team is playing very poorly at home and away, and there is no indication that this can improve in this final stretch.

The Patriots are coming off a loss to the LA Chargers last weekend by a score of 0-6.

At MyBookie.ag, we can see a Moneyline that favors Pittsburgh Steelers at -260, while New England Patriots start at +220.

For this game, we expect the Steelers to take advantage of their home-field advantage to come away with the victory.
