Patriots vs Steelers Props #1: Diontae Johnson Pass Receptions
Johnson has found himself phased out as the go-to WR in the Pittsburgh offensive scheme this season. But perhaps the best thing that could happen to his stats is seeing Mitchell Trubisky sliding back in under center for the Steelers.

In his five starts at QB for Pittsburgh last season, Johnson was overwhelmingly Trubisky’s favorite receiver. In those five games, Johnson averaged 10.2 targets and 6.6 receptions. He easily went over his total for this game of 4.5 receptions in four of those five games. And Johnson caught a TD pass from Trubisky last week.
- Patriots vs Steelers Prop Picks: Diontae Johnson Over 4.5 Receptions +114 (1 unit)
Patriots vs Steelers Props #2: Ezekiel Elliott Rushing Yards
The NFL public betting splits are divided on this game. The people are going with Pittsburgh to win and New England to cover. When it comes to who to hand the ball off to, the Patriots are no longer divided.
Thought Ezekiel Elliott did a great job maximizing yards on his season-high 17 carries vs LAC

Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is out, meaning that two-time NFL rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott is going to be getting the rock a lot in this game. James Conner sliced through his old team for 105 yards as Arizona won last week at Pittsburgh. All you’ll need from Elliott to cash the over on his rushing yardage total is for him to better 61.5 yards.
He had a season-high 17 carries last week. This will be Elliott’s first start of the season and he’ll make it pay if you play the over here.
- Patriots vs Steelers Prop Picks: Ezekiel Elliott over 61.5 rushing yards -115 (1 unit)
