yeah, pretty much 0% Peterman does anything anyway.
McCoy was actually decent in this game and they still only scored 3 points. woof

"Heartbreak for Bills fans"..........that's SOP for those sad sack folding table breaking morons.
Not the way the Pats played in December, the second half of the Buffalo game aside.
It's extremely tough to envision Jacksonville scoring enough to beat PIT.
They'll probably need multiple defensive scores - which they're admittedly capable of - to win.

I think it's more the chances of JAX vs TEN beating PIT as we should kill either TEN or BUF easily.
Mariota is better than those two but not good, Titans D isn't nearly as good as either of these teams.
Pats kill any of the three so it really doesn't matter.
It was mostly on the back of Ben throwing 5 INTs. Steelers will still be heavy favorites, but the Jags definitely have a shot.
I would rather face the Titans and possibly the Jags than the Bills and Pitt.
You would rather play a jags team than the bills, which Brady has dominated to a tune of 28-3 over his career? Really??
well I was replying to the poster that said they would rather play the jags than the bills. I screwed up my response. But I meant to ask why someone would rather play the jags. The bills are the closest thing the pats could have had to a bye in the playoffs.
The Pats went 4-1 in December, three of those wins coming against Playoff teams, and they outscored their opponents 140-69. Let's not overstate things.
I'm with you. I wanted nothing to do with seeing Buffalo for a third time. If it was the Bills or Chiefs, then obviously, rather see the Bills, but I think the Titans were the best draw we could have gotten. Bring on Mariota and company in freezing cold/crappy weather. And the Jags will put up a fight against Pittsburgh. They may not win, but they Pittsburgh will come out of that game knowing they were in a battle.
If Brown is hobbled, Jax has a shot, but their D will probably need to score. Bortles is trash, but that Bills D is quite legit, especially against the pass. They’ll move it better next week.
All over twitter, with callbacks to Westgate and some others.
Betus.com has -13.5 as well.
It looks like it went up half a point already.

According to @LVSuperBook, Patriots open as 14-point favorites against the Titans.
I mean last game they ran all over the Steelers, Bortles had only 14 passes attempted. The strategy for Jax will be to play good defense and run all over the weak Steelers run D.
Excepting the week 17 Browns, here are the RB totals against PIT recently:
HOU- 163 on 26 carries, 6.3 YPC
NE- 79 on 17 carries 4.6 YPC
BAL- 152 on 26 carries 5.8 YPC
CIN- 111 on 20 carries 5.6 YPC
These aren't even good rushing teams mostly. Their D is tissue paper.
Kuechly manned up on Kamara there when he split out on 2nd down. Kamara showed a quick screen type route. I wonder if they'll go back to that later but fake the short route and try to hit him deep down the sideline.
