PIT STEELERS +5.5 o50 +210
NE PATRIOTS -5.5 u50 -260
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots will kick off at Gillette Stadium, at just after 6pm eastern time, on Sunday Jan 22, as the AFC Conference Championship Game gets the later time slot this weekend.
The Patriots are favored by 6 points with a total in the low 50s for the right to go to Houston in two weeks. The NFC representative for Super Bowl 51 will already be decided before hand, as the NFC title game kicks off just after 3pm.
Four of the best, if not THE best, quarterbacks in the NFL are left standing in the Conference Championship round.
Pittsburgh Steelers 13-5 SU, 12-6 ATS, 6-12 over/under
New England Patriots 15-2 SU, 14-3 ATS, 7-10 over/under
Predictions: Pittsburgh Steelers +6
The Patriots should represent the AFC in the Super Bowl, but the Steelers are plenty capable of making this a game. The secondary does have some concerns and it is a little bit young, but Brady doesn’t have a big arsenal of weapons.
Despite the offensive firepower of both teams, the stronger play is on the under here in this one, which would make the points pretty important. The Steelers are going to open up holes for Le’Veon Bell, which will keep Touchdown Tom off of the field.
The Steelers have slowed things down a little bit recently with the focus on the run and the Patriots always play under control.
