Mason Rudolph and Joshua Dobbs got most of the snaps in Pittsburgh's 31-14 win over Philadelphia, but Mike Tomlin still is 20-17-1 UNDER in his preseason career, including 7-1 UNDER the last two seasons. The Steelers averaged 3.0 yards per carry and its QBs were sacked four times and they converted just three of 14 third downs. Green Bay got ample playing time from three quarterbacks as DeShone Kizer completed 9-of-18 for 134 yards, Tim Boyle finished 7-of-15 for 130 yards and two TDs and Brett Hundley went 9-of-14 for 108 yards with a touchdown and interception against the Titans. The Packers averaged only 2.8 rushing yards per carry with Joel Bouagnon was the leading rusher with only 25 yards gained. The Packers had gone UNDER all eight preseason games the last two years before going OVER against Tennessee so it will still be hard to buck that UNDER trend by Mike McCarthy. Aaron Rodgers plans to play a couple series, but it will be his first appearance in nearly a year and it will mainly be to get his teammates some in-game work with him. Take the UNDER.
