Steelers vs Eagles Prediction

The current betting odds have the Steelers listed as a 10.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Steelers have been bad this year but they are starting to turn the corner in their games lately. They got blown out by the Bills in an embarrassing loss a few weeks ago but they bounced back with a win over the Bucs and even played very well in their close loss to the Dolphins in Prime Time. The Eagles have been great in every game this year as they are the only undefeated team left in the NFL, but that also means every single team will be bringing their best effort against them trying to be the team that hands them their 1st loss. The Steelers are not going to be that team that beats the Eagles this season but they have played well in their last few games and could catch the Eagles here coming out of their bye week. The Eagles could get off to a slow start here having not played in 2 weeks and the Steelers are the kind of team that will fight hard and try to stick around all game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Steelers to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"They made the necessary plays to secure victory, man, and really, we didn't and oftentimes, particularly when's it's a defensive battle the way the game developed into, it's about who catches the interception opportunities and who doesn't." - Mike Tomlin after his team’s loss against the Dolphins in their last game.
 
 
"We know we've got to play a complete game. What's exciting about being 6-0 and not having played a complete game is we know it's coming." - Nick Sirianni after his team’s win against the Cowboys in their last game.
