00:00Pittsburgh Steelers a perfect 2-0 both straight up and against the number with

00:07Russell Wilson as their starting quarterback 6-2 straight up this

00:13season. On the bye last week and now they head to Landover to take on the

00:18Washington Commanders who oh by the way are even better record-wise than that of

00:24Pittsburgh. 7-2 is the mark for Washington as we get ready for Sunday

00:28afternoon. The Commanders a two-and-a-half point home favorite

00:32total at 44 and Joe how do you start your breakdown of this game between the

00:36Commanders and the Steelers? Yeah well I started it Ben by immediately betting

00:42the over which is gonna go contrarian to what the public is gonna want here

00:47because the public's gonna look at this Pittsburgh team coming off a bye.

00:51Pittsburgh on the road has been extremely good to the under Tomlin tends

00:57to be a little bit more conservative on the road than he is at home but the

01:03reality is they have completely Pittsburgh remade their passing attack

01:08here. Russell Wilson you make the trade for Mike Williams you've got a much more

01:13balanced offense now it's not gonna be just run run run so on that side I think

01:20against this Washington defense they're gonna have success not just running the

01:24ball but Russell's gonna have success in taking shots down the field against

01:28this secondary very young secondary which is why they made the trade for

01:31Lattimore and when you look at Washington Brian Robinson jr. should be

01:35back which is gonna help them do we really need you know Pittsburgh bless

01:41them they can only play the teams on their schedule but Ben they have played

01:45I mean six straight offenses that are terrible passing the ball that is not

01:52going to be the case here in Washington I mean the only team that even came

01:56close to having a heartbeat throwing the ball was Kirk Cousins in Atlanta but

02:00that was early in the seasons and Kirk Cousins couldn't move so I don't see

02:04that happening here I don't think they're gonna contain Daniels I think

02:07they're gonna have success moving the ball I think this is a shootout way more

02:12than it's gonna be a rock fight in this game
