Three reasons to like the PACKERS-BEARS UNDER (43)

• These teams haven't combined for more than 37 points in their last five meetings.

• The Packers allow 15.4 points a game and the Bears give up 18.2.

• At kickoff, the temperature will be 18 degrees and fall from there, and the wind will be 11 mph. Conditions will not be conducive to scoring.

Three reasons to like the STEELERS (-3½) OVER THE JETS

• The last time they played the Jets, the Steelers were without Troy Polamalu and Heath Miller. Those two will make a difference.

• The Steelers give up only 68 yards rushing. The bulk of the Jets' offense will have to come from Mark Sanchez.

• Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger will buy some extra time and make some big pass plays downfield.
