In a battle of top NFL Picks Teams in the AFC Week 15 pits the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jaguars who are 9-4 SU on the season came back strong off a tough loss at Indianapolis, one that essentially ended their chances of winning the AFC South, and moved a step closer to grabbing an AFC wild-card berth by beating up on the Carolina Panthers 37-6. The Offense arguable had their best all around effort of the season as QB Gerrard passed for 230 yards and two touchdowns while their running game amassed 178 yards on the ground. In their previous games much focus was put on the defense and how poorly they played but if last week was any indication it appears they are back as they allowed only 149 yards of total offense while harassing Vinny Testaverde, stuffing up DeShaun Foster and bottling up Steve Smith. The betting public believes that Pittsburgh is still the stronger team as Bodog.com has listed the Jaguars as a +4 underdog.
After an ill timed guarantee to win the game by Pittsburgh safety Smith, the Steelers found out just how good the Patriots are as they were on the short end of a 34-13 score. The Steelers would have clinched the top spot in the AFC North but will have to wait to win this week before that happens. The Steelers came in as the #1 ranked defense allowing only 12.9 points per game but were shredded by Brady and company giving up 399 yards in the air. QB Ben Roethlisberger didn’t have a particularly good day throwing for only 187 yards. However, Willie Parker continued his respectable running totaling 124 yards on 21 carries.T
