Week 3

• Pittsburgh - 2.5:
  Pittsburgh likes the spotlight (9-1 on last 10 Monday nights, including 7-0 at home. They also have gone 8-0 after the Browns/Ravens, and are 17-2 (89%) when home off a home game. Hale notices that the Bills defense isn’t a slouch (#6 in pass yards allowed per game), while putting a lot of pressure on the QB (4.5 sacks per game). However, Pittsburgh’s defense is 9th best at yards allowed against a Bills offense that’s only 24th in racking ‘em up. Hale expects last year’s AFC champ to want to continue sending a strong message after Week 1’s stunning outright loss to the Jaguars (which Hale predicted). Give the points.

Total: 1-0
