Total: 35.00 | -112.00 Over
Result: Win
This is an 8* O/U PUNI$HER on the OVER Steelers/Lions.
Playing the preseason is about playing "situations" in my opinion. Once again the starters will see little to no playing time in this one, but for a number of different "situational" reasons, I like the way this one sets up to be more of a "shootout" rather than a lower-scoring defensive battle.
Pittsburgh has a few things still to work on, most only on the offensive end, as it enters the final preseason game at 0-2 SU/ATS, having scored just 15 total points between the two losses.
And for Detroit, it's 1-1, falling 14-3 at the Giants, before then holding on for the 24-23 win at KC last week as a 9.5-point dog.
But now back at home for the first time this year, the Lions will also look to push the pace.
Pittsburgh still has plenty of question marks heading into the regular season. The three QB's of Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Kyle Allen haven't instilled much confidence.
Pittsburgh's defense has been its strength so far in the preseason, but now on the road in this meaningless contest, we can expect the starting unit to sit this one out.
Detroit still has battles going on at several offensive backup positions. Once again Nate Sudfeld and Hendon Hooker will be fighting for QB2. There is also several players battling for WR spots. The Lions allowed 23 points last weekend, and with nothing to prove here, we can expect the backups for the home side to see 99% of the time tonight as well.
With each team pushing the pace offensively like I suspect, while not putting an emphasis on the defensive side of the ball at the same time, I'm going to suggest a play on the OVER in this one.
Good luck, NP
