Steelers vs Falcons Betting Lines
Steelers Showing Life
The Steelers have won two of their last three games and are showing signs of life. They do not have a particularly good team, but they are managing to win games against opponents with comparable talent.
They handled the New Orleans Saints 20-10 two weeks ago. In their most recent game, they beat the Indianapolis Colts on the road on Monday Night Football.
The Steelers held Indianapolis quarterback Matt Ryan under 200 passing yards and managed to pick him off. They held Colts running back Jonathan Taylor under 90 rushing yards, so those are signs of progress.
On offense, Steeler fans have to be happy with rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, who did not throw an interception. He also made the throws he needed to make and, with the game on the line, led his team to a game-winning drive.
The Steelers’ offensive line looks like it’s starting to jell a little bit, and with the Falcons lacking a pass rush (second-fewest sacks in the NFL), this could be another game where Pittsburgh controls the clock and game.
Falcons Stumbling Down the Stretch
The Falcons were 4-4 four weeks ago but have since lost three of four. They could be leading the NFC South right now, given that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost in overtime to the Cleveland Browns, but the Falcons failed on multiple fourth-quarter drives against the Washington Commanders.
Quarterback Marcus Mariota was intercepted on a deflected pass in the red zone in the final minute to seal the Falcons’ 19-13 loss.
Atlanta managed just 165 passing yards and scored a total of just three points in the second half. It’s tough to win or cover the NFL betting odds when the offense is doing so little. With tight end Kyle Pitts out for the season, the Falcons might not have the personnel to improve on these numbers.
