Prediction:
- The Aaron Rogers revenge game. I can see why they put this on for Sunday night football.
- Normally, I would fade these types of angles, but I am not so sure about doing that here…
- The Steelers have been a decent team this year. They are a nice 8th in offensive EPA and rank 22nd on defense.
- The Packers have been better than the Steelers ranking 4th in offensive EPA and 11th on defense. One could think that the Packers are a super bowl contender. Well that may be so, but there are some serious things to consider in this matchup.
- First of all, the Steelers are coming off of a tough loss on the road at Cincinnati. They will be motivated here to get right. Next, the Steelers have an extra three days of rest for this game. In the NFL, the season can become rather grueling and I have to think of this as a pretty good advantage.
- Another key thing that I have to look at here is home road splits. The Packers are an amazing 6.3 yards per play on offense at home, but that number swells up greatly on the road all the way down to 5.1. Last week against the Cardinals, the Pack were rather fortunate to come away with a win.
- This will be Green Bay’s second road game here.
- From an injury standpoint, the Packers look more banged up. The Steelers may get a few key guys back this week like Isaiah Loudermilk and defensive end and Malik Harrison at Linebacker.
- Is there something to Aaron Roger’s revenge spot? I honestly don’t know how to quantify that, but the fact that the Steelers are currently a winning team, I could see the guys rallying around Rogers to get the job done on Sunday night football. Take the points.
Steelers +3 – 2 stars
