The Pittsburgh Steelers don't often let games get away from them, but they allowed a pretty bad Tampa Bay team to steal one behind a semi-rookie quarterback in the final seconds last week, and allowed it to happen at home. That made three of four Steelers' opponents that have scored 26 points or more. When those teams are Carolina, Cleveland and Tampa Bay, it appears as if the Steelers' defense no longer has much bite. Fortunately for them they face Jacksonville in this one. The Jags haven't been able to slow anyone down. Jacksonville has allowed 152 points in four games or 38 points per game, so the Steelers should be in the end-zone often in this one. Jacksonville is 7-1 to the OVER in their last eight after scoring fewer than 15 points in their previous game, and all four of their games have topped the total this season. Since Mike Tomlin took over in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are 23-13 OVER as a road favorite. Play on the OVER in this one.
