They didn\u2019t crash and burn, maybe partly because Indy lost their QB early in the process. As I often say, any defense with T.J. Watt on it is formidable, but as expected, the loss of pass rusher Highsmith hurt their cause a week ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pittsburgh might be without Cordarrelle Patterson this week, and that hurts, because his presence adds more variety to the offense. I\u2019d use WR Austin a bit more to compensate, something Pittsburgh did not consider last week. It\u2019s a chess match with the sometimes-predictable Pittsburgh offense going against an occasionally unpredictable Mike Zimmer defense. Defensively, I feel Pittsburgh does not need to take unnecessary risks. They won\u2019t likely be burned by the run game, so my game plan would be to double up on WR Lamb, and take him out of the equation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steelers vs Cowboys Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Dallas, get the secondary wide receivers going early, including a couple of WR sweeps, and contain Fields in the pocket. For Pittsburgh, design a rolling pocket to get Fields in space, diversify the run game, and do not let WR Lamb beat you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Follow me on twitter @ronacesports to be alerted of future articles, and my weekly podcasts with Las Vegas Cris, Ted Sobel and Jeff Dawson.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_15055\"  width=\"870\" height=\"489\"  data-origwidth=\"870\" data-origheight=\"489\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BO1jOTLldh0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.wagertalk.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=1&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"NFL Week 5 Predictions, Picks, Betting Odds, Player Props &amp; Best Bets | Bet On It\"  src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/BO1jOTLldh0\/maxresdefault.jpg\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><span itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BO1jOTLldh0\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"NFL Week 5 Predictions, Picks, Betting Odds, Player Props &amp; Best Bets | Bet On It\"><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"\ud83c\udfc8 Bet On It: NFL Week 5 Picks &amp; Predictions: Get the edge on NFL Week 5 predictions, betting odds, player props, and best bets with expert analysis from Kelly Stewart, Marco D&#039;Angelo, Joe Raineri, Gianni the Greek, Andy Lang, Teddy Covers, and Ralph Michaels.
