vs market (Earl \u2212 line)
Pittsburgh's rating jumped 4.34 points this week to 1.99, yet the underlying form is thin: a -0.039 EPA differential per play and just +0.4 point differential over the last five while allowing 23.0 points per game. The 5-2 record and 2.59 vs-market edge make this a sell-high spot, since that modest neutral rating is well short of what a 5-2 team typically commands and the market is likely pricing the record over the profile. With Sebastian Joseph-Day not practicing and Dowdle and Elliott questionable, the docked 0.7 injury points is material to a defense already giving up points.
