The Buccaneers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games on grass. The Steelers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The under is 4-1 in Buccaneers last 5 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Steelers last 6 home games. The Buccaneers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings. The road team is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are getting healthier by the week and that offense is starting to really come along with receivers back in the mix. The Pittsburgh Steelers are nonexistent offensively, and that includes being ranked 30th in scoring offense. The Steelers defense is on the field too much, and it's played a role in dropping to 30th in total defense and 27th in scoring defense. This is a lot of chalk in the NFL, especially for a road team, but we have two teams heading in different directions. It's Bucs and the chalk or pass for me.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
