All right, 20 minutes from now, final hour, power hour, NBC Sports Now hour on the show.

0:14.2

Femio, what is next for us a team that we drew and the win total for that team as we get set to roll through projected point spreads.

0:21.1

It is the six-time Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers who are coming in with a win

0:27.7

total of eight and a half, juice to be over minus 120, the under even money.

0:33.6

So the same exact win total as the team we just did last, the Arizona Cardinals. And of course, as always, the question is with the Steelers, will they or will they not finish above 500, which you might have heard at one point or another. They've done it every year since Mike Tomlin has been the head coach. Never finished below 500 in the season. Can't go 8 and 8, obviously, with the 17 game schedule now. So will they go 9 and 8 or better? Unless you type. Let's find out that you are right about that. Okay. Week 1, on the road in the quarterback changing places game. Justin Fields for the New York Jets last year with the Steelers. Rogers for the Steelers last year with the Jets. Pittsburgh, a three-point road favorite at the Jets as it stands right now.

1:12.2

So a toss-up for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1:14.2

What do you like in that game before we move on?

1:17.6

Three or better, especially if the three is even money, it's the Pittsburgh Steelers.

1:21.2

I'm going to like the Steelers a lot.

1:22.3

Especially, like, but it sounds like Justin Fields is fine, so he's going to be able to practice

1:25.7

through training camp and stuff like that. But if it was going to be touch and go with no reps, really, and let's get him to week one, I definitely love the Steelers, but I like the Steelers at this price. I like the under as well in this game. This is where we're going to be hanging out. This feels like 17, 13, 20 to 13. Pittsburgh wins this game. Ugly Pittsburgh football. but I think their defense shuts down this Jets offense that is going to need a lot of help from the offensive coordinator because it's not going to be happening with Justin Fields with what he can do against a good passing defense. I think the Steelers might smash them in the game. I'm going to like Pittsburgh. At the very very least to win the game and we'll see about the points spread and where it ends of closing. Okay. Week two, home against the Seattle Seahawks. And we did this one. We did Seattle already. This is the toss-up. Yep. Toss up. At the New England Patriots. True. Mechaf Revenge game. This is a toss-up, I believe. Yeah, it should be another toss. Toss up, yep. Home Vikings. Toss up. Toss up. Oh, and that's the Ireland game, by the way, international game. Oh, that's right, yeah. And we called that one a toss-up, correct?

2:34.7

We did.

2:36.4

Yeah, yeah, toss-up.

2:37.6

Toss up.

2:38.1

Okay.

2:42.1

Early by week for the Steelers in week five coming off the international game.

2:46.9

They come back in week six and host the Cleveland Browns.

2:48.8

Like we win.

2:51.7

I don't think that they can be,

2:54.0

that they can be seven against anyone this season.

2:54.5

No.

2:55.0

Even at home? I don't think so.
