12/19/21 Best Bet: Pittsburgh Steelers -1 (-120)

One thing I’ve grappled with all year is: are the Titans good? Forget the record for a second, that’s for squares and playoff seeding. Are they a top team in the AFC? The defense has gotten healthier and better and they do get Bud Dupree back in a revenge spot. But outside of that, their secondary has been low-key trash. The offense is nothing to get excited about. Yes, Henry is the man but he’s gone. AJ Brown has been hurt and wasn’t himself before that. Julio Jones might be totally washed at this point. I just don’t see it. Now, I’m getting the Steelers in a must win for their season, at home against what I consider an average team. And somehow earlier this week Pitt was getting points?! This is the perfect Mike Tomlin “no one believes in us” spot. I’m not saying this is a game the Steelers always manage to win, but it is. Gimmie Pitt.
