00:00far more likely to finish last in their division than win their
00:03division. Both have a legitimate shot to take their division
00:08down. Pittsburgh continuously finding a way whether it's
00:11Russell Wilson, or Justin Fields, the commanders and Jayden
00:14Daniels have impressed and now the defense is starting to find
00:18their level and covering for maybe a bad game here or there
00:22out of the offense, which has still been a tough group to
00:24keep down. It's what TJ Watt and the Pittsburgh Steelers
00:28defense will try to do here. The total for this one is 44 and
00:33a half. As the Steelers are off a bye. They're just a two and a
00:36half point underdog. You see when you dive into this game,
00:39what do you look for? Well, it's an interesting matchup. You
00:42have two teams that have won three straight the Steelers have
00:44won three straight Russell Wilson, two games on their
00:47center by 16.3. On the flip side, you have one that have
00:52won three games by 13.4 points per game. They have won seven of
00:57the last eight games in the in the season this year. So they're
01:01running the football. Jayden Daniels 206 on the through the
01:04air. We saw Chris Rodriguez breakout Noah Brown, as well.
01:09The concern that I have is Russell Wilson making his first
01:11career start even though he's a veteran with this club on the
01:14road. I like the way the defense is playing for Washington four
01:18and oh at home Cav. They're playing with house money right
01:21now they're confident and I like what they have. I'm going to
01:24take the commanders and but I do feel we got through the 44
01:27and a half. I think it's a great game. I really do. And you can
01:30you know me I'm high on the Steelers here. I got a lot
01:32riding, you know, Russell Wilson hot takes. But to be honest, I
01:34look at this football game. I think it's a pretty even
01:36matchup. The one way I would sort of lean slant is yes, we
01:39know Russell Wilson's been around the block Super Bowl
01:41champion quarterback looking much better here over the past
01:43two weeks than he did out of that first start over that first
01:45let's just say two to two and a half quarters. But also
01:48understand this defense does still win championships in the
01:50NFL and the better defense by far for me is on the Pittsburgh
01:53Steelers side. That is a hellacious pass rush that's
01:55going to be coming after a rookie quarterback. And the one
01:57thing that we do know is it's always tough to win with
02:00rookies but Mike Tomlin's record against rookies is really good
02:0220 and 421 and four something like that on since he's been
02:05around. Now if I'm being optimistic about this game, I
02:08think Russ has a big game. I think George Pickens has a big
02:10game. I think Najee is a big game for me. It's going to be
02:13the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive pass rush that's going
02:15to win this game. I'll lay the minus two or excuse me take the
02:17two and a half points in this game with the Steelers. I look
02:20into this game. I wondered if we would see plus three reappear
02:24in the market this morning. It's going the other way. More
02:27flat twos coming around. People are betting Pittsburgh here. I
02:30wonder how much of that is Mike Tomlin against a rookie
02:32quarterback. I wonder if we're at the point in the calendar
02:35where bye weeks are going to become more important than we
02:38think. Pittsburgh not only off of a bye, Washington playing
02:41their 10th game in a row. They have one of the later buys in
02:45the National Football League this season. I think with
02:47Homefield's advantage, Washington is appropriately
02:51placed as a favorite. I'm not expecting them to necessarily
02:55run away with the game like this year. I am expecting Jaden
02:58Daniels, though, to have a big game and get through the 222
03:02and a half passing yards prop with a level of ease. The three
03:06games he's missed this. His last game, which you know for me
03:08always then makes me think of bounce back spot. The game he
03:11was injured in, which doesn't really count. And then his NFL
03:14debut against Tampa Bay. He's been very good at getting
03:17through this total. And I've talked about fading the
03:19Pittsburgh secondary back when we were covering their Monday
03:22night or against the Giants, and they allowed Daniel Jones to
03:25throw for over 260 yards in that game against a complete game
03:29healthy quarterback. They consistently give up a lot
03:32through the air outside of the great debut or open to their
03:36season in Atlanta against Kirk Cousins. We are seeing
03:40quarterbacks get through this number with a lot of ease. And
03:43I think for Jane Daniels today, they'll be pushed a little bit
03:47more than maybe they were in their past few games. When you
03:50think about the Giants and the Chicago Bears. I mean, he
03:53didn't play the game against Carolina. Obviously, that
03:55offense didn't have a lot of threat to them as well. I
03:59expect Jaden Daniels to do his job and get through the total.
04:03I'm interested to see if the Washington defense, no Marshall
04:07and Lattimore doesn't make the debut who has struggled against
04:10number one wide receivers has actually fixed that because
04:14against Baltimore's a flowers lit them up. Since, again,
04:19they've done a nice job limiting bleak neighbors last week on
04:21nine catches doesn't even break through 60 yards. What does
04:25George Pickens give us here today? Can he get into that 8090
04:30range here? Lisi? Or does Washington have an answer for
04:33that Russ Pickens connection?
04:35Well, it might be secondary options could be Calvin Austin.
04:38He's a speedier type of wide receiver 21 and a half is his
04:41number today could be Friar Newt as well underneath it taken
04:44away the long shot, maybe Friar Newt and those tight tight ends
04:48like Darnell Washington get involved. And I'll throw out
04:51Mike Williams, I believe his numbers 11 and a half the new
04:54edition from the New York Jets underutilized with Aaron Rogers,
04:58he could be a role player, especially in terms of red zone
05:01opportunities. I'll throw another name out on the
05:03Washington side cap because if you if Jaden Daniels blows
05:07through his number, right, which I believe as well, and
05:09Donnie said, you know, very over aggressive defense, the running
05:13lane should be open, but not just the running lanes for Jaden
05:16Daniels. It's secondary options Eckler coming out of the
05:19backfielder 2627 and a half in the receiving game. We saw
05:23Brees Hall have 100 yards, I believe a couple weeks ago,
05:27keep an eye out for that.
