New England (15-2 SU, 14-3 ATS) is also on an ATS roll, winning eight in a row covering the spread in seven of those contests including as 17-point favorites last week in a 34-16 Divisional Round victory over the Houston Texans. The Patriots escaped that game with no major injury concerns, but WR Malcolm Mitchell remains questionable for this week after sitting against Houston with a knee injury.

The Steelers (13-5 SU, 11-6-1 ATS) didn’t have any new names pop up on the injury list after edging out the Kansas City Chiefs 18-16 last week as 1-point road dogs. Pittsburgh is really hoping that tight end Ladarius Green makes it out of concussion protocol in time to face New England. The weather forecast calls for overcast skies in Foxborough at kick-off with temperatures in the low 40s.
