The Pick: Steelers +3.5 +130
I'm taking the Steelers with the points on this one. Sure, the Eagles are the favorites at home for a reason, but the Steelers have been killing it as underdogs all season. I just think the spread is too big. If the Eagles do win, I bet it'll be by a last-minute field goal, so I'm going with the Steelers and the points.

The Eagles have lost three of their last four Week 15 home games.
