New York Jets – A Closer Look:

Jets’ quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been struggling mightily recently as he’s been picked off nine times in his last two outings. Half a dozen of these came against the Chiefs two games ago and he threw three more interceptions in the loss to Seattle last week. Fitzpatrick needs to regain his focus if the Jets have any shot at downing the Steelers this Sunday and has to target his top receiver Brandon Marshall. The quarterback may also want to try handing the ball to running back Matt Forte to gain some yardage on the ground.

The 30-year-old Forte showed he still has it when he scored three touchdowns and ran for 100 yards in the Jets’ week 2 victory over Buffalo. Defensively, the Jets are an average team when defending the pass as they allow 288 yards against per contest this season. However, they’re pretty good at defending the rush as they’re giving up just 70 yards per week on average. If they can hold the Steelers to under 1200 yards they’ll have a better chance and they’ll need to put the pressure on Ben Roethlisberger. The Jets have gone 4-4-2 ATS and 5-5 straight up on their past 10 road trips.

Pittsburgh Steelers – A Closer Look:

The Steelers made sure they didn’t drop two in a row last week by playing with a lot of determination in their rout over Kansas City. Pittsburgh jumped out to a 36-0 lead and took their opponents down 43-14. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led the onslaught with five touchdown passes and he has some fine targets in receivers Antonio Brown and Sammie Coates. The latter has recorded five games of at least 40-plus yards in receiving so far this year to lead the league in that department.

Big Ben has tossed for three touchdowns and over 300 yards in three of Pittsburgh’s four contests in the 2016/17 campaign. The Steelers’ ground game is also stronger with running back Le’Veon Bell back in the lineup. Bell ran for 144-yards against Kansas City and is bound to give the Jets a hard time. The Steelers’ defense has been rather quiet with just five sacks and a pair of pick offs to their name, but must be confident considering the way Fitzpatrick has been throwing the ball away lately. Pittsburgh is currently riding a six-game winning streak at Heinz Field and are 4-1-1 ATS in that stretch.

Next up for both teams:

  • New York Jets at Arizona Monday, October 17
  • Pittsburgh at Miami Sunday, October 16
