Point Spread: 3.00 | -115.00 Washington (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Washington Redskins.
Setting the scene: The Steelers have a scary offense with Ben Roethlisberger, WR Antonio Brown and RB Le'Veon Bell. But Bell is suspended for the first three games. The Redskins finish 9-7 and won the NFC East last year and look to take an even bigger step forward this season with QB Kirk Cousins and a bunch of other offensive weapons. These team's defenses are pretty equal, but we think home field advantage can't be overlooked and while we wouldn't be shocked by an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can.
The Steelers: D'Angelo Williams is a capable replacement for Bell in the short-term, but he's not getting any younger at 33 years old. Also note that the offensive unit is without the services of WR Martavis Bryant, who is suspended for the season.
The Redskins: As mentioned off the top, Cousins has just as many, if not more, weapons to utilize than "Big Ben" does. TE Jordan Reed, RB DeSean Jackson and WR's Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder will surely be giving opposing defenses difficulty all year. The addition of defensive specialist Josh Norman helps an already impressive unit.
The bottom line: It's interesting to note that Pittsburgh is just 1-4 ATS in its last five "Week 1" contests, while Washington is 5-0 ATS in its last five when playing the role of underdog. Cousins is on a one-year deal, so will be looking to put together his best campaign of his career in order to finally "cash out" at the end of the year. Play on WASHINGTON.
