The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to flounder over the second half of the season and so do the BTSC staff picks after Jeff Hartman went 8-7 against the spread and 8-7 versus the totals in Week 14, while my picks were all over the place at 5-10 and 10-5 respectively.
Pittsburgh are one of only four home underdogs in Week 15 as part of a slate of games that feature only one double-digit spread. Six matchups are separated by a line of a field goal or less and five are currently showing a spread of over a touchdown. With opportunities to clinch playoff berths there for the taking for a number of teams this weekend, several post-season fates could be decided on Sunday.
The Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys both have the chance to claim their division titles with a win this weekend, but that task might be somewhat easier for the Bears facing the Green Bay Packers (+5.5) at home than the Cowboys visiting the Indianapolis Colts (-3). The Patriots can clinch the AFC East with a win over the Steelers (+2.5) and a loss by the the Miami Dolphins at the Minnesota Vikings (-7.5), as can the Houston Texans if they beat the New York Jets (+6.5) on the road and the Colts also lose.
