The (9-0) Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face off against the (1-8) Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11

I currently feel as though the Steelers are going to win this game. However, I don’t see a repeat of the bludgeoning they dished out in Week 10 against the Bengals. The Jaguars are one of the scrappiest teams I have ever seen, even without as much star talent as they use to possess on their roster just 3 years ago.

The Steelers have more talent in almost every position on the field coming into this matchup. More importantly, they have shown more of an ability to stay within themselves and not get too complacent with where they are at in the standings. They almost fell guilty to this even though Garrett Gilbert played the game of his life against them in Week 9.

This is one of the more physical defenses in the NFL. We can remember what Joe Schobert use to do for Cleveland and he is paired with Myles Jack to form one of the best linebacking duos in the league from a coverage standpoint. The Jags’ secondary isn’t as good as it used to be. Yet, they have some intriguing young pieces like Sidney Jones and CJ Henderson. This a really young team that plays hard and could be very good in another year, but more likely two years. With that being said, you can’t be ready for this game without know about these key things.
