00:00the Steelers are four and a half point favorites as they take on the Carolina Panthers in Carolina
00:04why I'm not really sure but that is the line four and a half total of 36 and a half I just feel like
00:09taking underdogs throughout the preseason it would have worked um in terms of the Steelers season
00:14Matt eight and a half is their win total this has pretty much been static maybe some eights early on
00:19definitely no nines I didn't see any nines so it feels like maybe a little bit of backing on
00:25Pittsburgh here and remember if they get nine wins they don't have to make the playoffs either
00:29and that's not a stretch for the Steelers who always seem to be in the mix yeah for sure I
00:34mean nine wins is is what Mike Tomlin does right he doesn't finish below 500 so it would seem to make
00:40sense just based on history based on the fact they have an elite defense and based on the fact that
00:45look we don't know exactly what Aaron Rodgers still has in the tank or what he's going to bring to the
00:49table and the Steelers actually did get decent quarterback play in the aggregate over the course
00:55of last season but I still think the ceiling is certainly higher you know the rest of their
00:59offense you look at the skill players anyway you got DK Metcalf that's great but the rest you know
01:05it doesn't inspire a lot normally you're used to seeing a few more notable names in the Steelers
01:10offense and you know I don't know what exactly that's going to look like because Aaron Rodgers can
01:14only do so much but I think with the defense they have the coaching they have the infrastructure they
01:19have in place I mean nine wins seems very doable even in a tough division and so I think they'll
01:24be a pretty good team but if you're if you're betting on that over you're also kind of betting
01:30on Aaron Rodgers to stay healthy and given his age I think that can be a little bit of a concern
01:35yeah I would agree not a concern for Bryce Young it's been the play that's been the concern but he
01:39played so well in the second half that a lot of folks feel like maybe the breakout is coming here
01:453,200 passing yards on FanDuel 18 and a half passing touchdowns you know that's a low number
01:49if he just plays the whole season he should get that 30 plus passing touchdown is seven to one
01:54odds makers are telling us they're not bullish still even with what they saw with Young in the
01:59second half yeah and I don't blame him but look he has the quote-unquote quarterback whisperer
02:05working with him for a second year they went out they invested their number one pick in a big-time
02:10wide receiver so it's a little better around him I think you hope he's more
02:14comfortable but this was a guy who let's face it was was benched I mean he was flat out benched and
02:19look he's made a nice little comeback and that's exciting but I think there are still a lot of
02:24question marks and a lot of concerns with him and it's tough to bet on any of those overs frankly
02:28like you said the touchdowns is the one that seems the most doable but you know there's still a lot of
02:34question marks with him and this team as a whole that I wouldn't feel very comfortable with
02:38uh with with betting on anything Panthers related
