Steelers Predict the Score Game Week 5 Pittsburgh vs Jacksonville
Welcome to 6th edition of thesteelersfans.com Steelers Predict the Score
Game.
Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results
after the game in a post on this thread. There will be 2 ways to win (a
weekly winner and a yearly winner).
This weeks Game is:

Pittsburgh vs Jacksonville

This week's tiebreaker is steelers total first downs.

The rules are simple. Whoever predicts the correct winner with the
score closest to the actual score wins. For example if the score is
Pittsburgh 28 Cincinnati 21 The method of determining your score is
to take the value of the difference of your guess of the Pittsburgh score
and the value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score.
You also must pick the correct winner to make your pick valid. In case
of a tie, the tiebreaker is used.
For example if TTFs prediction is 35-21 Steelers he would be 7 points
from the actual score…..35-28=7 21-21=0 7+0=7.
If Ray Ds prediction is 30-18 Steelers he would be 5 points from the
score and he would beat TTF………30-28=2 21-18=3 2+3=5. If either
had picked the Bengals they would have automatically lost due to the
fact that they were not the winning team.
In the unlikely event of a tie (YES Donovan it could happen) we will
just go with closest to the actual score.
I will be awarding points for the first 10 places and including a bonus
of 3 additional points for making a perfect prediction. I will track
cumulative point totals and the number of times you make the top 10.
This contest will end after the steelers last game of the season.
The deadline to make your picks is 1 minute before the scheduled
start time.

Very tough game. More so than others will make it out to be for sure. That Jacksonville defense is truly the real deal and Leonard Fournette will bust some big runs at the "Ketchup Bottle".

Pittsburgh's defense is going to be tasked with winning this one in an area in which they have struggled to do this season; stopping the run. Jacksonville's recipe for success is clock control.


As I said, this may be close.


That being said, here is my prediction:


Steelers: 20

Jaguars: 17


First Downs: 13

 

prediction:
Pitt-30

Jax-17

16 first downs

Actually after 4 weeks the jags D is ranked #11, and our defense is ranked #2 in total defense.

http://www.nfl.com/stats/categoryst...OTAL_YARDS_GAME_AVG&d-447263-o=1&d-447263-n=1

 

Implying that their defense is not good?


In addition, I stated that only our run defense has issues. I did not say that Pittsburgh's defense overall has struggled entirely.

 

Nah jags have a better D trust me. Our unit hasn’t been tested yet

 

Well their test wasnt much against an 1-2 jets team and they let them go to OT and win the game, I think our D will rattle bortels into some sacks and picks....

 

Make Bortles beat them . I don't think he should be able to . They must play better against the run than we have been.

 

Steelers 24
Jags 13

First downs - 15

 

Plus the jets ran the ball for 256 yards against them, and passed for 255:

 

Steelers 30
Jags 16

First downs 19

 

Steelers-35
Jags-17

First downs 17

 

Steelers - 23
Jags - 16

First downs: 16

 

And theirs has?

 

Jagwires 6
Steelers 31

First downs: 20

 

Steelers-34

Jags- 14

14 First

 

They played a 4th rank offense and 9th, best offense we faced was a 19th ranked. I’m not saying our defense is bad, just saying I expect our numbers to go up a bit vs good offenses. Titans packers patriots Texans.


I expect numbers to change of course for all teams. Top 5 in ppg, top 5 in sacks but I truly think broncos jags bills are better right now because of coaching

 

Sorry franky back on topic.

Steelers 20

Jaguars 13

They suck we'll crush them
Really Jacksonville looks good this year. Someone tell Butler to remind the Steelers, this ain't your daddy's Jagoffs. Try to score every time we touch the ball

 

Steelers - 27
Jags - 24

First downs - 17

Thanks!!!

 

23-13 Steeler's

Still hoping to improve on my zero points.
