Steelers (+1.5)
Iyer has the Pittsburgh Steelers winning on the road against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. “The Steelers have lost two brutal home games to bad teams in consecutive weeks, first the Cardinals and then the Patriots,” he wrote.
“Offense has become a big problem again and it’s uncertain if Kenny Pickett can return at QB. But this is when Mike Tomlin’s defense digs deep, hopeful that T.J. Watt has enough time to clear concussion protocol.
“It also helps the Colts’ offense is inconsistent and now mired in a rushing slump. The offense also will find some good success through running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren to win a key wild-card battle.”
Iyer’s pick is Steelers, 20-17.

Packers (-3.5)
Not to mention, the Sporting News NFL analyst has the Green Bay Packers winning at home over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he believes Tampa will cover the spread.
“The Buccaneers are in first place in the NFC South, but they can be inconsistent, especially defensively with all their injury issues,” Iyer wrote.
“Baker Mayfield plays OK here and the Packers’ defense will be slowed a bit with their own injuries on a short week. But Jordan Love comes through again with his all his skill position players with key passes all over the field, down to the final game-winning drive.”
Iyer’s final score is 23-20, Green Bay.
Jaguars (+3)
Furthermore, Iyer has the Jacksonville Jaguars at home upsetting the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. “The Jaguars didn’t come through in their long-awaited Monday night chance vs. the Bengals two weeks ago. They are on a two-game losing skid vs. the AFC North,” he wrote.
“But they have been waiting much longer for a true Sunday night game and will be pumped with a gritty Trevor Lawrence and an inspired playmaking defense to end the slump.
“The Ravens were pushed by the Rams into overtime and their defense showed more key cracks Lawrence can exploit. On the other side, Lamar Jackson gets contained with little help from the running game.”
Bender’s pick is Jaguars, 23-20.
