Pick via FOX Sports' Jason McIntyre: "The Bears have faced three overpowering defensive lines and gotten dragged in the trenches each time (Browns 26-6, Bucs 38-3, 49ers 33-22). The Steelers' modus operandi is to dominate the line of scrimmage with T.J. Watt. A week after Nick Bosa had two sacks and three tackles for loss, what do you think Watt's going to do?"

PICK: Tease Steelers down to +1 (via FOX Bet)
