Here is a look at the key NFL betting trends for each team, followed by my analysis and NFL Free Picks: Pittsburgh is 16-8 SU in its last 24 games The total has gone OVER in 5 of Pittsburgh's last 6 games Pittsburgh is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games on the road The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Pittsburgh's last 6 games on the road Pittsburgh is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games when playing Philadelphia Philadelphia is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games Philadelphia is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 6 games Philadelphia is 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 games at home The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 5 games at home NFL Odds Pittsburgh Steelers +3 +105 Philadelphia Eagles -3 -125 Over/Under 45 1/2 -110 Analysis: I'll keep this pick simple by saying that I fully expect the Philadelphia Eagles to bounce back from their heart-breaking loss to the Cowboys by beating the Steelers and narrowly covering the spread. With Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger ailing with a sore shoulder, expect Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jim Johnson to come up with some sort of scheme to slow down 'Big Ben' and contain elusive running back Willie Parker.
