Just realized I hadn't written my game prediction... But yea I agree. Feels like one of those games that they sleep on. Hope not. Steelers defense should be able to dominate this game.

Dangerous for sure. It wasn't a normal bye week, but a disruption to any rhythm or expectation.

They're gonna be out of sorts here.

Yep. And we’ve been making bad quarterbacks look good! Just saying

Offense... The Goon Squad better be ready this week. Depsite a lousy record, the Eagles defense is generating a lot of pressure. 13 sacks & 33 QB hits in their last 2 games alone... Unreal production. And I'm sure Hargrave will be eager to remind the Steelers what they let walk away. Steelers O-line ranks 5th best in pass pro. Ben needs to keep up with the faster release. Think I read somewhere that the Steelers offense is top 5 in "time to attempt", meaning their plays are developing or executing faster.

Defense... Eagles offense is ranked dead last in yards per play. And they are bottom 3 in pts per game. Wentz has been statistically worse than Haskins, and yet still has a job. That offense has been terrible. Their O-line has been littered with injuries. Should be another one of those 5-7 sack games where the defensive front continues to abuse the opponent's offense. Wentz has some decent ability to create plays with his legs. The way Butler blitzes should keep him contained though, and constantly rattled. Eagles have been very banged up at WR, so the road won't get any easier for Wentz. Steelers should be able to keep this unit around 10pts or fewer.

Eagles are beat up, and the Steelers are coming off a bye week. They are well rested and should easily dismantle this team. So naturally we should expect a nailbiter, right? This has that look & feel of a Tomlin disappointment when everything on paper looks like an easy W. Steelers will have 5-7k fans in the stadium so that should be somewhat of a difference-maker.

Steelers have zero business losing this game.

PIT 24 - PHI 10

I'm gonna say this and I know how the Steelers are against inferior opponents:

If the Bengals could tie the Eagles, I believe we should be able to at least get a double digit win over this team. With that said, we know how this team is so...

Steelers 30
Eagles 21
