NFL Best Bets for Week 5
October 7th 2016 - Old Man Winner

Pit-7 vs. NYJ

Pittsburgh is just hitting their stride: LeVeon Bell is back, Sammy Coates is developing into a nice replacement for Martavis Bryant (Pittsburgh's new burner), Jesse James is making a name for himself as a legit tight end (did you see what i did there - "making a name", oh nevermind), and Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlesberger are still the A and B of the offense!

And other than the Philly game, the defense has given up an average of only 15 points. But, that's only half the story.

The other half is how poorly the Jets have been playing. Their offense has been fighting through a plethora of injuries and their quarterback keeps wanting to throw the ball to the guys in the wrong colored jerseys. Brandon Marshall is not 100%, Eric Decker is out, their emerging new receiver, Quincy Enunwa, is questionable, and Matt Forte is beginning to show his age. Their offense is a wreck. Their defense isn't much better. What once was a defense to be feared, now just has a reputation for stopping the run. Their secondary is a sieve, even with Darrel Revis playing. Now he's not.


When I watch the Jets I just don't see the emotion necessary to win football games.
I like the Steelers to run up the score in this one with both wideouts (Brown and Coates) having big days and Bell getting chunk yards in the passing game.
