Steelers vs. Eagles Prediction

I’m on the Steelers with the points here. I think the Eagles are favored at home for a reason, but this is a Steeler team that’s thrived in the underdog role for much of the season and I think this is just too many points. If the Eagles win this one, I can see it being by a late field goal, so give me the Steelers and the points.
