hook and hook

  • Thursday, September 22, 2022

Las Vegas - If we knew that rookie Kenny Pickett was gonna get the starting nod here, Pittsburgh would probably be a nice size wager. But if Mitch Trubisky is under center again, my wallet is gonna be very careful. Mitchell had one magical year, 2018, when he had an 11-3 record with the Bears in games as a starter and made the Pro Bowl. Ever since then, it has been kinda EH. But there are other problems, YUGE problems. Starting with the Steelers DE superstar T.J. Watt, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, who is out with a pectoral injury. SERIOUS OUCH! However, Cleveland has two gigantic problems on the defensive side, with Jadeveon Clowney out and Myles Garrett most likely gone. Pitt's D, even without Watt, will be looking for turnovers, and Jacoby Brissett might oblige. In limited action over the last two seasons, Jacoby has thrown seven TDs and five INTs. Seeing mostly Cleveland -4.5. If you can, buy the hook first, then buy Steel +5 for a light play.
