This week, the Pittsburgh Steelers face a huge challenge when the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town. Pittsburgh is 4-2 but you can’t say those wins were pretty. The same can be said in some cases for the Jaguars 5-2 record. This one is going to be the game of the week and one to watch. Here are our four bold predictions for this week’s game.
The Steelers secondary takes one on the chin
The Steelers secondary is hobbled with three injuries among the five best cornerbacks and the Jaguars do their very best to take advantage of it.
T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith combine for 5 sacks
Against the Rams, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith were kept at bay for the most part and they make up for it this week with five combined sacks of Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Pittsburgh gets through the game with no taunting penalties
We are predicting that head coach Mike Tomlin got through to guys like Diontae Johnson and George Pickens and they play smarter this week and don’t have any unforced errors.
Maybe not bold but the Steelers drop one at home
We want to pick the Steelers. We really do. We want to think lightning can strike again and Pittsburgh finds a way to squeak out another win in a game they should lose. But not this week. But this loss won’t me like the other two the Steelers suffered this season and instead they keep it close.
