Result:
LOSS

Both of these teams are 2-0, but don't let that fool you into thinking they are close to equal in strength. I rank Pittsburgh as one of the top teams in the league while Philly is middle of the pack. Yes, I was on Philly on Monday night, and they came through with Carson Wentz looking like a possible long term QB of the future. But, this isn't going to continue for him or the Eagles indefinitely. A big part of that Philly pick on Monday night was their opponent. The Bears just aren't very good. This week's opponent is. I believe Philly's bubble is burst in this game. The Steelers are lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 31 points per game, while winning by over two touchdowns per game on average. Under Mike Tomlin, this team is now 99-56 including 26-13 in non-conference games. The QB disparity here is huge. I don't relish laying more than a field goal on the road so I'm going with a Pitt moneyline win in this one.
