2017 Week 3 NFL Picks & Predictions – Pittsburgh Steelers @ Chicago Bears Odds & Free Pick
The Pittsburgh Steelers are unbeaten at 2-0 and 1-1 against the spread after the first two weeks. The Steelers dominated the Minnesota Vikings at home last week as they won 26-9 and covered the -8.5 point spread.
The Steelers were expected to have arguably the most explosive offense in the NFL this 2017 season and they have gotten off to a sluggish start. The Steelers only put up 21 points and 290 total yards in a 21-18 win at Cleveland in week 1 and then came back and totaled 335 yards last week against the Vikings. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has done his part so far as he has a 99.9 quarterback rating and has passed for 506 yards and 4 touchdowns against 1 interception so far. However, star receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell are still looking for their first touchdowns on the season.
On the defensive side of the ball the Steelers have been dominant thru the first two weeks. The Steelers defense held the Browns and Vikings to just 237 total yards each. The Steelers defense has only allowed three touchdowns so far but should be without rookie linebacker T.J. Watt this week. Watt has two sacks and an interception but a groin injury should keep him out this Sunday.
The Chicago Bears enter this week 3 NFL matchup in search of their first win. The Bears are 0-2 overall and 1-1 against the spread after losing 29-7 at Tampa Bay last Sunday as a +7 point underdog.
The Bears ponied up $18 million a year to sign quarterback Mike Glennon in free agency this offseason and so far he has been terrible. Glennon has just a 81.1 quarterback rating thru the first two weeks and has thrown just 2 touchdowns to go with 2 interceptions. The Bears offense has sputtered to just 301 total yards against the Falcons in week 1 and 310 last week against the Bucs. Fans are already calling for Glennon to sit the bench as they want to see 1st round pick, quarterback Mitch Trubisky, take the controls.
On defense, the Bears have been solid the first two weeks. The Bears gave up 372 total yards to the Falcons in week 1 and that’s not bad considering how explosive that Falcons offense is. They came back last week and held Tampa Bay to 311 total yards. The Bears defense is far from great but it’s not a dumpster fire either.
Who are we betting on to cover the spread in the Steelers-Bears week 3 NFL game? We are betting on Pittsburgh to cover as a -7.5 point favorite. The Bears offense is still a train wreck and Bears head coach John Fox is too stubborn to sit Glennon down and give Trubisky a shot just yet. Therefore, expect the Steelers to open up a lead and for the boo birds to be out as the Bears fans get sick of watching Glennon miss passes and throw interceptions. This game will get ugly fast. Bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers -7.5 on the spread at Bovada.
