NFL.com Game Preview CBS Sports Game Preview ESPN Game Preview What to Watch for in Panthers-Steelers on 'TNF' Wasn't last week fun? Well, it was for one team, and for the family and friends of Nick Mullens. Which is fun! And while last week was enjoyable, this week brings more playoff intrigue. This is the stuff that mattersas we move past the halfway point of the regular season. The Carolina Panthers (6-2), winners of five of their last six, head to the Steel City to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2-1), who have also lost just once in their last six contests. They'll meet under the bright lights of Heinz Field in a clash of two of the NFL's stronger teams. It's getting cold in the Midwest. Bundle up and reach out for the warmth from these red-hot squads. Here are four reasons to watch Steelers-Panthers on Thursday Night Football (airing on NFL Network, FOX and streaming on Amazon Prime Video).

26CornerBlitz Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 GAME PICKS Can Carolina Shut Down Conner? 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 Pittsburgh Steelers 34, Carolina Panthers 24 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 Fitzpatrick. Ben 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Could be a very interesting game. Have at it http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25205192/nfl-teams-almost-always-attempt-two-point-conversions-touchdowns-2018 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). http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/25219157/cam-newton-wears-cleats-honoring-victims-pittsburgh-shooting PITTSBURGH -- Carolina Panthersquarterback Cam Newton showed his support for the grieving city of Pittsburgh and his team's owner by wearing black and gold warm-up cleats with "Hatred Can't Weaken A City of Steel'' on the side.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 ESPNs match up predictor has the Steelers 68% The Steelers turned their season around when the defense started to play better. They have allowed no more than 21 points in any of the past four games, including a strong effort in Baltimore Sunday when they allowed a season-low 16 points.

GoBills808 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Panthers for me as well. They're playing tough and Pitt is shaky imo. Hoping for a great game, but who knows these days on Thursday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Steelers win the toss and defer. That was too easy. PIT better figure out how to defend McCaffery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
