Not quite a down year after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\"><strong>Bet on Derrick Henry to find the end zone on Sunday Night Football<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Ravens played the Steelers in Week 14, Henry didn&#8217;t score, but he did record 94 yards on 25 carries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the red zone, Henry is still a battering ram. He has 63 carries inside the 20-yard line, equating to 10 TDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming off 200+ yards and four TDs in Week 17, Henry should continue to be leaned on in this win-or-go-home game, especially near the goal line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Henry is 9-7 against this wager this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"product_only\"><a href=\"cacheembed:122568\">Embed: #122568<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SNF over\/under prediction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Freiermuth anytime TD (+320):<\/strong> D.K. Metcalf is serving the final game of his suspension, so Aaron Rodgers will need to look elsewhere in the passing game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That brings me to Freiermuth. He fell out of favour in Pittsburgh this season, but this is a chance for the big tight end to make an impact when it matters most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In last week&#8217;s loss to the Cleveland Browns, he led the team with 63 receiving yards. It was a bad game script for all Steelers&#8217; pass catchers as Rodgers threw for 168 yards and the team scored a measly six points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjY1NzMyJnA9MzExMjU%3D\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out \u2014 Bet on Sunday Night Football<\/strong><\/a><strong>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Sunday, Pittsburgh gets to play a much weaker defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Browns allow the second-fewest passing yards per game (163.8)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Ravens allow the fourth-most passing yards per game (245.2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That is an area the Steelers will need to exploit to win this matchup.
