The Pittsburgh Steelers are riding a 9-game winning streak and I see that continuing today when they face the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game in Foxboro. The Steelers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Big Ben has the league’s best running back at his disposal, Le’Veon Bell, who carved up the Kansas City Chiefs last week for 170 yards. In addition to that, he has one of the league’s top receivers, Antonio Brown, who has 481 receptions over his last 4 seasons. During this 9-game winning streak, the Steelers defense has been stellar, yielding an average of just 16.6 points per game and recording 31 sacks. Steelers get this one.
Today’s pick:
Pittsburgh Steelers +6
