When the line maker installed the Steelers as 3-point favorite over the Jets in their Sunday clash at 6:30 pm, he may not have fully incorporated the situational advantage the Steelers have in this game. It?s true that each of these opponents is coming off huge emotional wins against division rivals to get to this game. But if the Jets are to play to their potential, they will have to overcome a serious negative scheduling scenario. This will be the fifth game in 6 weeks on the road for the Jets and the third straight playoff game. They are coming off consecutive underdog wins over Indy and New England. No other NFL team has ever defeated the Colts and the Patriots in consecutive weeks. While the Jets have been going through this emotional meat grinder for several weeks, the Steelers had the benefit of a pair of easy victories to close the season in defeating Carolina and Cleveland 68-12. With plenty left in their emotional tank following a week of rest, they were well situated for their second-half comeback against the Ravens. The nature of that second-half comeback will provide full momentum as the Steelers play consecutive home games. Cannot dismiss the fact that the Steelers retain full focused in light of their 22-17 loss to the Jets December 19th on this field as a 6-point favorite. When we do our final late week analysis of this contest, including our statistical review, we will clearly incorporate this positive situational edge the Steelers have entering this contest. Check back Thursday at 3:00 pm EST for our definitive opinion on this game, remembering we have won 6 consecutive NFL playoff games.
