Jaguars Plan on Getting Defensive as Steelers Visit Town<\/h2>\n

The Jacksonville Jaguars, (2-2 SU, 1-3-0 ATS, 2-2-0 O\/U), have won two straight games in the BetUS Sportsbook, including Sunday\u2019s 30-27 overtime victory over the Houston Texans. <\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers, (3-1 SU, 1-3-0 ATS, 2-2-0 O\/U), also won in overtime last week, squeaking by the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 on Monday.<\/p>\n

Now, the teams will meet in an important early-season contest that could go a long way toward deciding the participants of the AFC playoffs, even at this early juncture of the regular season.<\/p>\n

The Steelers came back from a 10-point deficit to beat Baltimore, but lost running back Rashard Mendenhall for the remainder of the regular season.<\/p>\n

“Injuries always happen at a bad time,” Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said. “They’re part of the game. I’m not going to complain about them and go `Woe is me.'”
\nThe Jaguars also have their share of injuries with starting linebacker Justin Durant and safety Reggie Nelson both hurting coming into this contest.<\/p>\n

The Steelers are fourth in the NFL in rush defense, allowing just 74.0 yards per game and second in total defense, giving up just 236.3 total yards per contest.<\/p>\n

<\/a> Jacksonville is ranked just 23rd in total offense, averaging 302.5 total yards per game and 21st in scoring, averaging 19.8 points per game.<\/p>\n

Quarterback David Garrard completed 23 of 32 passes for 236 yards while passing for one touchdown and rushing for the game-winning score late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Here is a look at the game\u2019s key betting trends, followed by my analysis and NFL Free Picks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Steelers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after accumulating less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
\nThe Steelers are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games in Week
\nThe Jaguars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.
\nThe Jaguars are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 5.
\nThe Over is 5-1 in Steelers last 6 games following a ATS loss.
\nThe Over is 5-1 in Jaguars last 6 games in Week 5.
\nThe Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings in Jacksonville.
\nThe Home team is 15-5 ATS in their last 20 meetings.
\nThe Steelers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings.<\/p>\n

NFL Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Steelers +4 -105
\nJacksonville Jaguars -4 -115<\/p>\n

Over 36\u00bd -110
\nUnder 36\u00bd -110<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/strong>: I\u2019m going to encourage all BetUS NFL Sportsbook bettors to take the Pittsburgh Steelers to cover the spread in what looks like a classic field goal game. With two powerful defense also taking the field, I also like the \u2018Under\u2019.<\/p>\n
