Summary:
Pittsburgh absolutely destroyed Kansas City last week and look to be clicking on all cylinders. The return of Le’Veon Bell added a new dynamic development to an already explosive Pittsburgh offense. More impressive is the Steelers defense has been making strides aside from the blowout loss to Philadelphia. The Jets have disappointed early in the season and most of that has to do with lack of ball security. The Jets enter the game with the worst turnover margin in the NFL by far. I like the Steelers to win big at home.
