NFL Picks and Predictions: Predicting the winner of Steelers vs. Jets Week 5

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets are going head-to-head in Week 5, and we want to know who you think will win this AFC matchup.

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

The Steelers 43-14 victory last weekend was sweet redemption after the disaster that was the now-infamous Philadelphia Massacre. So, last week their was much rejoicing in Steeltown. As for the BTSC contributor challenge, it was once again the Anthony Defeo Show. For the third week in a row, AD was off by three on the winner's score. For the Chiefs game, Defeo went 40-13. So with that being said, the Steelers are most likely scoring 29 points tomorrow. Possibly 23. The consensus is picking the Steelers, with the exception being Eric O'Connell once again. I honestly don't think Eric is that pessimistic, I'm starting to think he's  picking against the Steelers every week out of superstition or reverse mojo. Check out below, and see what we think will happen against the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.

Steelers Score

Brief Analysis:

Anthony

PIT 26-13 Steelers capitalize on Jets turnovers.

Brett

PIT 33-10

Despite the injuries, Steelers offense keeps rolling and defense gets two Fitzpatrick interceptions

Brian

PIT 24-10

Antonio Brown has another great game against a diminished Revis. The Jets offense has a paltry day and has no answer for the Steelers solid defensive gameplan

Dan

PIT 27-24

The Jets won 10 games last season with virtually the exact same team, so I wouldn't overlook them. Their defensive line is terrifying.

Eric

NYJ 28 -21

Ryan Fitzpatrick snaps out of his funk while injuries doom the Steelers.

Fear94

PIT 31-10

Defense will be the name of the game for 2 QTR’s but will blow open in the 2nd half.

58Steel

PIT 26-19

Tough sledding against the NYJ front four, but Air Ben shows that flying over Revis Island isn’t so tough anymore.

Flip

PIT 35-14

This will not be as dramatic as a game as the 2004 playoffs, Fitzmagic has been a turnover machine and will continue his slide.

Jeff

PIT 38 - 17

Believe it or not, the Jets will make this game a contest, but a few second half turnovers will seal the deal for the home team.

Mike

38-17

Without Bell this would have been a much closer game, but his presence and versatility opens up a ton of options for the Steelers’ already-potent offense. Expect the defense to use the blitz like it did against KC, not the way it did against WAS, CIN and PHI. With Fitzpatrick’s propensity for turnovers, there’s no reason to go easy on him.

Robert

PIT 28-21

Closer than most would like, but the Steelers still get the job done

Zach

PIT 21-10

Le'Veon gets it going on the ground scoring twice this week. Fitzpatrick struggles…

Bryan

PIT 26-24

Injuries to Ben’s protectors makes moving the chains harder, but Fitzmagic turns tragic as young Steelers secondary shines in the Heinz Field sun.
