Pittsburgh

And so I really, I enjoyed that because it, it allows fans to open their mind across the league and follow other players all around, regardless if they're on their fan, uh, their team if-

Yeah, you know, I, I grew up in Pittsburgh, and, uh, and so I grew up a Steelers fan, went to a ton of Steelers games growing up and stuff.

And for me, doing this as my job, I mean, this is, you know, I've been doing this now for over a decade, you know, as, as my full-time gig.

And, like, what I've, I've just grown to appreciate what, how other teams build and how other teams do things.

Definitely.

It's the, the Mets are in Pittsburgh, the f- for the first three games.

They came back, he hits the dramat- That's why Piazza, in a lot of ways, is a very, very important figure in New York sports historically, and he never won a World Series here.

I mean, he's, you know, Jeter, I mean, and he didn't win four times like Jeter did.

It w- th- that Seattle defense was a huge part of that.

He'll be fine.

Um, they play Pittsburgh, they play Jacksonville, then they play Buffalo, and then there's-

They play four playoff teams the first four weeks.

I j- I just, I like the Cowboys to win this game.

Uh, two in the, the Cowards money line parlay is the Pittsburgh Steelers.

And again, a team that...

Could Aaron Rodgers just look horrific and done and You don't li- you don't like what you see? Yeah, maybe.

Like, they brought in Tua Tagovailoa, who, like... [sighs] I, I, I don't like bringing this up, but you remember when Clark MacArthur kept getting head injuries and it was, "Hey, I know you love the game, but at some point you've gotta be responsible to the people who love you and yourself, and this is just too much risk to absorb"? Tua is now the face of that for professional athletes, and he's injury prone, and guess what? He's started the season and he's not healthy.

Michael Penix, the guy that they drafted in the first round who had, like, three knee surgeries going into his NFL career, guess what? He's not healthy.

So the Atlanta Falcons might be playing Cooper Rush, who I think is actually competent, but a- a- am I gonna say that you're gonna go in there and win a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a quarterback who wasn't getting first team reps for the majority of the preseason, and who really only has one and a half guys that he can throw the football to if they start trailing in this game? A team that...

If I was designing a team that the Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna beat, I would say I would want a team that doesn't have a really great pass rush, and that's the Atlanta Falcons.

Minnesota's one.

Pittsburgh's another.

Right.

Those are the two that I, I believe that both of them are the odds on, uh, biggest underdog-

Uh, oh, no. Min- yeah, Minnesota's the fourth.

You're right.

Pittsburgh, I think.

Minnesota.

And when all is said and done, the Jets, they did allow 11 fancy points per game to opposing defenses, which was the sixth most.

Now let's move on to the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Atlanta Falcons.

We are going with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I mean, Tua Tagovailoa versus TJ Watt, this is a mismatch here.

I mean, this is going to basically play out exactly how we all predict.

While both Watt and Alex Highsmith each missed time last season, the Steelers' edge duo registered 17 sacks, and even though the duo missed a combined seven games, Pittsburgh's 48 sacks last season was the sixth most.

Now, while in Miami, Tugvalu, he was sacked 30 times in over 14 contests while averaging more than an interception per game.

And as bad as Tugvalu was, Atlanta, they weren't any better.

Williams is hitting .304 for the season with 22 home runs.

As we start playing the National League this afternoon, the Dodgers on top, the San Francisco Giants four games out, Cincinnati Reds seven games out, the Pittsburgh Pirates ten games out.

Milwaukee 18-and-a-half, St. Louis 21, and Philadelphia now only 21-and-a-half games out and only a half game back of the St. Louis Cardinals as a throw to first, not in time.

That pitch is in there for a called strike to Billy Williams.

Elio walked his first time up.

Our next businessmen's special will be coming up next month on the 18th of May against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

2-0 pitch.

That's a call strike.

Terms at DKNG.co slash offer.

Got some other afternoon games in the National League.

Pittsburgh will be at Montreal.

Starting pitchers Jim Rooker and Gerald Hannes for the Expos.

I say this to say that the person that's in the relationship... that knows it's going to come to an end sooner than later feels like what the White Sox are right now.

And for a team that hasn't lost more than four straight at any point in the season, this is about the worst time to have lost not only three straight, but three straight to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Now, I will say this.

The Pirates are a lot better team than I think a lot of people will give them credit for.
