Player Prop #2: T.J. Watt / Over 0.5 Sacks / -120 / 70% / Watt’s league-leading pressure rate exploits Tua’s quick release vulnerabilities, hitting this in 75% of home games this season.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment favors the Dolphins as road underdogs, but sharp money and reverse line movement align with Steelers’ home advantage and defensive metrics, justifying a fade of the public. Contextual factors like Steelers’ injuries temper offense but strengthen defensive value, while Dolphins’ travel and recent ties suggest inefficiency. Overall game scoring outlook points low, with combined averages under 45 points in similar matchups.
