Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is expected to be a game-time decision, a source told PFT, as Brown’s calf injury remains an issue. The Steelers listed Brown as questionable in their Friday status report, though coach Mike Tomlin said he didn’t “have a lot of reservations about Brown from a physical health standpoint.”

Falcons defense is good (I predicted they’d keep the Rams under 20 points) but they’re not dominant. Their offense hasn’t been nearly as good as it was under Kyle Shanahan. They’re not a Super Bowl team unless the offense suddenly regains last year’s form.

Eagles defense singlehandedly won the Raiders game that locked down the 1 seed, and shut out the Cowboys for 3 quarters (7 punts, 1 failed 4th down, 4 3-and-outs) at home before conceding a TD with their backups in the game. They have a very good power running game, which is a relative weakness of the Falcons defense (speedy and attacking, but a little undersized up front). If Foles can play better than Spurgeon Wynn level, Philadelphia has a great chance to win a classic battle-of-the-trenches low scoring game, something like 13-10.

...

There’s probably a theoretical possibility that the Titans can pound Derrick Henry down the throats of the Patriots bad run defense, and that the Titans pretty good pass defense can limit Brady enough to win a close one, but in real life, the better team with the better coach and better QB playing at home should win by multiple scores. 

...

The Steelers are overrated, not as good as their record suggests. They’re an unsustainable 8-2 in close games, and by points differential they’re a 10-11 win team (while the other 13 win teams — NE, MIN, PHI — are 12 win teams). Their defense has had a number of bad games even at home (28 points to Hundley and the Packers, 38 to the Ravens) and they’re missing Shazier, their only good, fast LB. 

The Jags right now are underrated. Their pass defense is dominant, and while run defense isn’t quite as good it’s been very good since they traded for Dareus mid-season. Bortles isn’t a good QB but he’s capable of playing pretty well, he’s more inconsistent than flat out bad. The Jags as a team scored a lot of points this year: 417, which is 5th in the league and more than the Steelers, Chiefs, or Vikings. 

Antonio Brown’s calf is still bothering him. Jacksonville has the best pass rush in the league, and the best or next-best secondary. If Bortles plays half decent, the Jags can win by 10.

Where did you hear this, or are you just assuming it?  Everything I have read is that Brown is 100%      As for the Jags winning, I agree with that, but no way they win by more then a field goal this time around.
