Steelers at Vikings predictions Point spread total player props stream for Thursday Night Football

The and will get us started in Week 14 as these two clubs meet on "Thursday Night Football" tonight from Minneapolis. Both of these teams are coming off games last Sunday that went down to the wire. For Pittsburgh, they were Steve Cishek Jersey on the winning side of things as they were able to fend off the . As for the Vikings, they gave up a walk-off touchdown from that gave the their first win of the season. Clearly, Minnesota will be trying to get the sour taste from that lo s out of its mouths on Thursday, while Pittsburgh still lurks around the AFC playoff picture.Below, we'll specifically be looking at the different betting angles that this matchup has in store for us. We'll be taking a look at how the lines have moved throughout the week leading into Thursday night and, of course, give you our picks for this game along with a handful of our favorite player props.Date:Thursday, Dec. 9 |Time:8:20 p.m. ETLocation:U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)TV:Fox/NFL Network|Stream:fuboTV ()Follow:Odds:Vikings -3, O/U 43.5 This line opened at Vikings -4. However, that number has dipped a full point since Minnesota handed the Detroit Lions its first win of the season in Week 13. It fell to Vikings -3.5 on Sunday evening and was down to Vikings -3 by Monday morning where it currently sits. The pick: Steelers +3. Minnesota is tough to trust in this spot. They are under .500 on the season ATS and have kept a large chunk of their games close, which leans favorably toward taking the points with Pittsburgh. The Vikings are also not one of the most disciplined teams either as they have the third-most penalty yards in the NFL entering Week 14. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh defense has come on as of late, spearheaded by the MVP play of pa s-rusher . With the Vikings po sibly being without their starting Kosuke Fukudome Jersey left tackle (ankle), receiver (ankle), and running back (shoulder), they could have i sues scoring against a Steelers defense that is tied for the fourth-lowest red-zone conversion rate in the NFL. Key trend: Vikings are 0-6 in the last six games as a home favorite. The total for this game has also seen some movement coming out of Sunday's action. After opening at 45.5, this number has dipped two full points as of Wednesday morning to 43.5.The pick: Under 43.5. While the Steelers were able to get the win last week, their offense still has some lumps. They are averaging 5 yards per play (tied for fourth-lowest in the NFL) coming into this matchup. Meanwhile, the Vikings will likely be mi sing some key pieces on offense, which lowers their scoring ceiling as well. When you combine their scoring averages for the season, it comes out to roughly 46 points, so the Under Chicago Cubs Jersey is just a slight lean when factoring in a short week and po sible absences. Key trend:Under is 4-1 in the Vikings last five home games. PIT QB #7 CMP%64.8YDs2758TD16INT6YD/Att6.65 Pa sing yards: 256.5 (Over -115, Under -115)Interceptions: 0.5 (Over -130, Under +100)Pa sing attempts: 35.5 (Over -105, Under 125)Longest pa sing completion:37.5 (Over -120, Under -110)I'd lean slightly on the Under of Roethlisberger's pa sing yards prop. He's split going over that total in his past six games and is averaging 244.4 pa sing yards per game on the road this season. This could be a scenario where Pittsburgh could elect to run against a favorable matchup, which would reduce Big Ben's pa sing opportunities. MIN QB #8 CMP%68.4YDs3353TD25INT3YD/Att7.52 Pa sing touchdowns: 1.5 (Over -120, Under -110)Pa sing yards:252.5 (Over -115, Under -115)Interceptions: 0.5 (Over +130, Under -160)Completions: 22.5 (Over -125, Under - Ben Zobrist Jersey 105)Pa sing attempts: 33.5 (Over -125, Under -105)Longest pa sing completion: 36.5 (Over -120, Under -110)The Over on Cousins' pa sing touchdown prop is a solid value at -120. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in nine of his 12 games played this season, including in five straight contests heading Joe Maddon Jersey into Thursday. total receiving yards: Over 81.5 (-115). The volume alone makes this an attractive number for Johnson. He's seeing 12.8 targets per game over the last month and is averaging 96 yards per game over that stretch. returning for this game does give me some pause, but the Vikings are allowing 12.4 yards per reception this season (third-most in the NFL). Najee Harris total rushing yards: Over 70.5 (-115). Harris is another player where the volume is ideal. Since the bye, he's averaged over 19 carries per game. Harris will now face a Vikings run defense that has allowed 154 rushing yards per game over the last two weeks.
