The Steelers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games on grass, 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Cardinals are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games in December and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The under is 4-0 in Steelers last 4 games overall. The under is 23-11 in Cardinals last 34 home games. The home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The Arizona Cardinals are getting some respect here based on how competitive they've been this season and the fact they're facing an inexperienced quarterback. The problem is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has to be licking its chops when going up against a rookie quarterback in Murray, as they're elite at all three levels and are going to throw a ton of blitz packages he hasn't seen through a handful of games. It may not be the prettiest 60 minutes of football, but the Pittsburgh Steelers should be able to bully their way to a road victory and cover.
