Week 2 NFL picks for Patriots vs. Steelers
Before you tune in to Sunday’s Steelers vs. Patriots game, you need to check out SportsLine’s advanced computer model NFL picks. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has won over $7,500 for $100 players with top-tier NFL picks since its inception. The model enters the second week of the 2022 NFL season with an incredible 139-98 run of top-flight NFL picks that stretches back to the 2017 season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch in four of the last six years with straight NFL picks, beating more than 94% of CBS Sports football pick ’em players four times in that span. Whoever followed it is way up.
In Patriots vs. Steelers, the model assists the over (40.5) to score with ease. After gaining a 17-3 lead over the Bengals in Week 1, the Steelers stumbled late and went into overtime. However, a 53-yard field goal by Chris Boswell after overtime was up gave them a 23-20 win despite coming in as a 7-point underdog.
The Pittsburgh defense created massive problems for a clearly overwhelmed Cincinnati offensive line, firing Joe Burrow seven times and forcing five turnovers to fuel the win. However, the Steelers lost TJ Watt to a chest injury in the process, and the absence of the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year could prevent them from disrupting Sunday’s game.
Meanwhile, the Patriots managed just seven points against the Dolphins in Week 1, but they were wiped out by three turnovers. The model expects Bill Belichick’s roster to take advantage of a Steelers defense that allowed 432 total offensive yards last week and is now without watts. Therefore, the model has more than 40.5 hits in well over 50 percent of the simulations.
