This is a 10* play on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Setting the scene: Pittsburgh being at 2-0 SU/ATS to open the season comes as little surprise, but Philadelphia with the identical record definitely is. The Steelers rolled over Washington 38-16 in Week 1 and then pulled away for a 24-16 victory over Cincinnati last Sunday. The Eagles routed the Browns 29-10 in Week 1 and then cruised to a 29-14 win over the Bears on Monday night.
The Steelers: Both sides of the ball have looked great. The defense has held two dangerous opponents to a combined 32 points. Not perfect, but 16 PPG average is obviously very good. Especially when the offense puts up the kind of numbers that it has. Note that the defense held the Bengals to just 34 rushing yards on the first 16 carries, while QB Andy Dalton was just 31 of 54. Dynamic WR AJ Green was held to just two catches for 38 yards.
The Eagles: Rookie QB Carson Wentz has been fantastic over the first two games and he'll look to keep the momentum rolling. Wentz has so far gone 43 of 71 for 468 yards, three TD's and zero INT's. Wentz has been carrying the load offensively, as the run game has stalled out of the gates, the unit averaging fewer than four yards per carry.
The bottom line: Wentz faces his toughest test to date. How is he going to perform if Big Ben puts some points on the board and he's forced to play from behind? With the run game struggling, we think Wentz is going to be overwhelmed this afternoon (note that the Eagles are 0-5 ATS in their last five Sunday games following a Monday night appearance the week before). We think that Wentz and the home side are getting too much respect and will therefore back the red hot STEELERS to keep things rolling in Week 3.
