This Thursday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will play against the New England Patriots. The game will take place at Acrisure Stadium. Both teams will look for a result on Primetime. It seems to be an exciting matchup with many promising betting options.
The Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers have had a decent 2023 season so far. Mike Tomlin's team has a record of 7-5 and is currently second in the AFC North. They are coming off a win against the New York Giants and will look to carry that momentum forward to Thursday night. Kenny Pickett, their quarterback, got injured in the game against New York. It has resulted in the sophomore player having to undergo ankle surgery. Seeing how the Steelers' offence looks without their QB1 will be interesting. George Pickens has been their primary playmaker this year. He has recorded over 740 receiving yards and three touchdowns in 2023. On the defensive side of the ball, Pittsburgh has been mediocre. They have given up 19 points per game on average. The Steelers will look for a big win as the playoffs approach.
The New England Patriots
The Patriots have been dreadful this year. The once-storied franchise has a record of 2-10 and is at the bottom of the AFC East. The team recently suffered a terrible loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The entire game, the two teams combined only scored six points. They have dropped their first-round draft pick, Mac Jones, for Bailey Zappe. Their offence this season has been abysmal, and it is stopping them from competing at a high level. Yet their defence has been okay; they have given up, on average, 21.16 points per game. It is important to note that the defensive unit has been on the field a lot due to the abysmal offence.
