3. Ben Roethlisberger Under 1.5 Touchdown Passes

This will be an interesting test for the Chicago Bears defense. On one hand, they have allowed two or more touchdown passes in five of their eight games. Only Derek Carr, Baker Mayfield, and Jimmy Garopolo failed to reach the end zone at all, let alone twice against Chicago.

On the other hand, Ben Roethlisberger has only thrown two touchdowns in a game one time out of seven games, a home game against the Denver Broncos. So, the Bears allow two touchdowns 62.5% of the time while Roethlisberger only hits that mark 14% of the time. Something has to give.

We are going to go with the Bears defense here. First, when you consider the opponents that Chicago has played, Pittsburgh is right with Detroit as one of the worst offenses they will see this year. Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow, and Tom Brady are four of the top passers in the NFL right now, so it is hard to say that Roethlisberger can replicate their performance against Chicago.

Beyond that, Pittsburgh knows their strength is running the ball. They drafted Najee Harris in round one, and their win streak started when the offense shifted to relying on him. The Bears pass rush can beat the Steelers’ offensive line, but the Bears run defense has struggled in recent weeks. Pittsburgh wants to run, and Chicago is facing one of the worst pass offenses they have seen all season. Expect Roethlisberger to have his typical one or zero touchdown pass game.
