GAME PICKS
If the Steelers win Thursday night, it'll be because of James Conner and their run game, according to Elliot Harrison. See his prediction for tonight's matchup as well as his game picks for the rest of Week 10.

THURSDAY, NOV. 8

 
8:20 p.m. ET (FOX/NFL Network/Prime Video) | Heinz Field (Pittsburgh)
 
I don't like the Panthers on a short week. Carolina darn near gave up a 35-7 lead last week at home to Ryan FitzpatrickBen Roethlisberger threw effectively in Baltimore, despite the absence of massive numbers. Also worth noting: Pittsburgh posted 395 yards of offense against the top-ranked defense in the league. Unfortunately, Ron Rivera's defense has given up a lot of scores through the air (tied for the eighth-most passing touchdowns allowed), but the unit has managed to compensate for that by forcing its fair share of takeaways (15). If Carolina can pull a few interceptions out of the bag against Roethlisberger, the Panthers should be OK. That's because Carolina has been strong against the run all year -- that is to say, James Conner is not likely to go off this week. Then again, Conner is on pace for over 2,000 scrimmage yards and 20 touchdowns.

Could be a very interesting game.  

 

Have at it

The Steelers and Panthers are among several teams that should consider flipping their post-touchdown mindset and making a two-point attempt their default option during the first three quarters or so (when football games are about point maximization).

Two good teams and a bunch of fantasy implications! I’m jacked for this one.

Big Ben a perennial winner and Cam getting there (though some disagree)

 

 

First Carolina prime time game, I want to see how well they use Moore and Samuel.

First this season you mean?

 

fantasy drives people to the watch games they normally won’t.

Hopefully one of the better games on Thursday night football this year. Thankfully off work tomorrow so I can enjoy it. I'm going with the Panthers in this one. 

 

You'd think so going in.  I'm going with the Panthers too.
