Blitz Edge: why the model likes Pittsburgh Steelers

The model gives Pittsburgh Steelers a 69% chance to win this one. The biggest factors: PIT's total defense (#26) has a 3-spot edge over NYJ's total offense (#29), and PIT's rush offense (#26) has a 3-spot edge over NYJ's rush defense (#29).

Home field adds a small extra boost on top of that. NYJ is also dealing with Breece Hall (RB) listed as out, which tips things further PIT's way. Note: the sportsbook favorite (NYJ) disagrees with this pick.
