2017 Week 5 NFL Picks & Predictions – Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers Odds & Free Pick
The Jacksonville Jaguars enter this week 5 NFL game with an overall record of 2-2 and 2-2 against the spread. The Jaguars are coming off a 23-20 loss at the New York Jets as a -4 point favorite last Sunday.
The Jaguars were off to a great start under first year head coach Doug Marrone as they looked to match last year’s win total with a win last Sunday against a terrible Jets team. However, the Jaguars came crashing back down to earth and got a reality check with a disappointing loss. The Jaguars still have plenty enough reasons for optimism this season and are a much improved team over last year despite the setback last week.
The Jaguars come into this road game with the NFL’s 5th best scoring offense at 27.3 points per game and the NFL’s 7th best scoring defense at 18.5 points per game. The Jaguars are improved on both sides of the ball from last season and can hang with the best teams in the NFL without getting pushed around like rag dolls on the line like they were the last handful of seasons.
The Pittsburgh Steelers come into this home game with an overall record of 3-1 and 2-2 against the spread. The Steelers won 26-9 last Sunday at the Baltimore Ravens as a -3.5 point favorite.
The Steelers are one of the top favorites to win the AFC and Super Bowl this season and their improved defense is a big reason why. The Steelers defense comes into this game with the NFL’s 2nd best scoring defense as they are only allowing 14.8 points per game. The passing defense is much improved over last season’s unit as they only allow 146 passing yards per game to rank 7th in the NFL this season.
The Steelers offense has been mediocre to start the season after being one of the most explosive in the NFL last season. The Steelers offense is only scoring 22,5 points per game to rank 17th in the NFL this season. Wide receiver Antonio Brown let his frustration boil over last Sunday as he pulled a hissy fit on the field and sideline after not getting the ball thrown to him when he was wide open streaking up the field. Brown finished with just 4 catches for 34 yards against the Ravens. The Steelers need to get him involved soon or they may lose him mentally as he’s one of the biggest head cases in the league.
Who are we betting on to cover the spread in the Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers week 5 NFL game? We are betting on Pittsburgh to cover as a -8 point favorite. The Jaguars are much improved but they will have their hands full with a Pittsburgh team that is dominating defensively and an offense that is due for big time breakout. The Steelers will open up a can on the Jaguars on Sunday and win this one by at least two touchdowns. Bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers -8 on the spread at Bovada.
