Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers -1 

The NFL handicappers might have as well made it even, but then you’ll never know, 1 point against the spread can be critical, or not. At least, it gives the option for a draw, but for sure this opening betting line is still going to move after some heavy betting on both sides.

In the last 10 times Jacksonville and Pittsburgh have clashed, the Jacksonville Jaguars have gotten the better of the Steelers with a 6-4 straight up record and 8-2 against the spread (ATS). For this 2007-08 NFL regular season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have proved to have the better NFL record with  11-4 compared to the Pittsburgh Steelers who are 10-5. However, the home field advantage at Heinz Field will certainly favor Pittsburgh. It’s just too bad that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is still questionable to play due to his ankle injury. But really, that ankle is going to go out fighting, and we can expect a really close game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
