Week 8 NFL picks for Jaguars vs. Steelers
Before tuning into Sunday's Jags vs. Steelers game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up well over $7,000 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season on an incredible 173-122 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. It is also on a 27-14 roll on top-rated NFL picks since Week 7 of last season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Jaguars vs. Steelers, the model is backing the Steelers to stay within the spread. The Steelers have been out-gained in total yardage every week, but continue to find ways to win.
They are plus-six in turnover margin this season, which ranks in the top five in the NFL. Quarterback Kenny Pickett, meanwhile, has the league's highest passer rating (122.7) in one-score games during the fourth quarter. Kicker Chris Boswell hasn't missed a kick all season, so Pittsburgh is finding ways to get the job done in tight games.
Pittsburgh has the pass rush to keep Trevor Lawrence and Jacksonville's passing attack under wraps. T.J. Watt (eight sacks) and Josh Allen (seven) are both top five in the league in sacks.
Lawrence has the second-lowest completion percentage (51%) in the league against the blitz this season, so the model is projecting that Pittsburgh limits Jacksonville enough on offense to stay within the spread in well over 50% of simulations. You may be able to stream the game here.
