New England at Pittsburgh

New England looked bad in its loss at Miami on Monday night. But realistically, whether it won that game or not, the Patriots still would have to beat the Steelers this week for home field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The Patriots have won and covered the last two meetings, including 36-17 in last year's playoffs and they are 4-1 ATS the last five meetings at Pittsburgh. Also, New England has covered eight of its last nine road games against teams with winning home records. The Patriots are 13-3 ATS their last 16 road games and, most importantly, 42-18-1 ATS their last 61 games after a loss. The Steelers are just 1-4 ATS their last five games and are coming off two brutally physical games against Baltimore and Cincinnati. The Patriots are second in the NFL in total offense yards while scoring 28.3 points per game. The Steelers have gone OVER fin our straight games and five of the last seven meetings in Pittsburgh have also gone OVER. The Patriots have soared OVER in seven of its last eight on Sunday after a Monday night game and the OVER is 9-4 the last 13 meetings between these teams. Look for New England to once again bounce back after a loss and play the Patriots and the OVER.
