NFL Week 15 Free Pick: Take San Francisco. Even though Roethlisberger is expected to play on his bad ankle, how effective he’ll be remains to be seen. The Niners defense has played outstanding football all season long and their pass rush will certainly make things difficult on Big Ben, who may not be as mobile as we’re accustomed to seeing. According to latest NFL trends, the 49ers are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 games as a favorite and 11-2-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Steelers, meanwhile, are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog. Both teams need this game for individual reasons, but look for the Niners to come up big against a banged up Steelers squad.
