Throwing Darts Week 12: Can Pittsburgh hang in Seattle?

Throwing Darts Week 12: Can Pittsburgh hang in Seattle?

As always, we use the line from Yahoo Pro Football Pick’Em. Feels good to get one win out of the way early. Let’s jump into it...

Pittsburgh +4 at Seattle: Name brand is coming off the Seahawks defense, and teams aren’t as afraid of the home-field edge anymore. Steelers are going to get their points, no matter what Richard Sherman does — simply too many options.

Denver +3 vs. New England: Getting Pats at right time, on a short week and before there’s too much tape on Brock Osweiler. New England’s 2015 frame similar to 2007 — unbeatable early, then down a level. You can’t keep losing key offensive pieces and not feel it; even Amendola is hurt now.

Cleveland -2.5 vs. Baltimore: Two flawed teams, but I get the home field and the big edge at quarterback (do you remember how awful Matt Schaub was, last we saw him?).

Houston -3 vs. New Orleans: Fire any coaches you want, New Orleans. You can’t fix that defense in a week or two. DeAndre Hopkins goes off with any quarterback, but Brian Hoyer has actually been pretty good this year.

This Week: 1-0

Last Week: 3-2

Season: 32-23-1
