Result:
LOSS

Pittsburgh once again won and didn't cover as a home favorite when it defeated the Broncos 26-21 as a 6-point favorite and that was the sixth time in the last eight games that the Steelers haven't gotten the money in that role. Houston is 8-1 ATS following a 10-plus home loss and the Texans were beaten 33-16 by the Ravens. Deshaun Watson threw for 275 yards and a touchdown, but was sacked four times in the Baltimore loss. The Texans are 10-3-1 ATS their last 14 games after an ATS loss. Watson says the Texans will have to concentrate on picking up the blitz this week as the Steelers have blitzed 58 times, the most in the league. Houston is in a nearly must-win situation after starting 0-2. Ben Roethlisberger was 29 of 41 for 311 yards and two TDs and James Connor ran for 106 yards on 16 carries against the Broncos. The Houston defense must improve its run defense although it did manage to somewhat contain Lamar Jackson and the Ravens for three quarters before collapsing in the fourth. The Steelers run offense isn't as prolific as the Ravens and Houston will keep this one close. Play the Texans.
