Free Betting Pick: UNDER 52 in Pittsburgh
It will be a chilly evening in Pittsburgh and Carolina has run more than they've passed in each of their last games. The Steelers have allowed 63 rushing yards or less in 4 of their last 6 games so this one sets up to be a bit of a grinder with yardage not coming easily for either team.
Given the above, a defensive battle in chilly Pittsburgh is in the forecast here and the best bet (value) is to play the under based on a projected final score of Pittsburgh 24, Carolina 17
