Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5)

@ Arizona Cardinals (3-8)

 

Current odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers: (-130)

Arizona Cardinals: (+110)

 

• The spread for the game is Pittsburgh by 2 points.

• Hodges threw for 211 yards in last week’s 20-13 win over Cleveland and the one score went to wideout James Washington, who has 209 receiving yards and a pair of TDs over the last two weeks. Washington’s emergence has been critical with fellow receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster still sidelined with a knee issue. Linebacker Bud Dupree led another solid defensive effort last week with six tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a pass deflection for a unit that ranks fifth in the NFL in total defense (317.2 yards allowed per game) and sixth in scoring defense (18.8).

• Murray is going through his first heavy bout of losing football and the former Heisman Trophy winner is hoping to use last week’s embarrassment as motivation to get better. “It’s just a disgusting feeling,” Murray told reporters this week of the loss to the Rams. “I’m sure you were disgusted watching it. I was disgusted being in it. It’s not a good feeling. You just don’t want to have that anymore, so just try your hardest not to allow that to happen again.” The 22-year-old leads rookie quarterbacks with 2,866 passing yards and is second among all signal-callers with 446 rushing yards.

• Arizona is last in the NFL in total defense (426.3 yards) and has allowed an average of 31.8 points during its five-game slide.
