Texans vs Steelers Recent Meetings
Prediction
I’ll back the hottest team in the league with the best defense in the league against Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. Houston started the season 0-3 and then woke up. They won their final nine regular season games and held opponents to just 277 yards per game. The Steelers squeaked into the playoffs after Ravens kicker Tyler Loop missed a 44-yard field goal in Week 18. Pittsburgh has also lost six postseason games in a row and have failed to cover the spread in each of them. This isn’t an elite offense in Pittsburgh and the defense is vulnerable to big plays. C.J. Stroud and company should be able to score 20 points and the defense will do the rest.
Pick: Texans -3
