Pittsburgh Steelers vs New Orleans Saints Predictions

Steelers vs. Saints prediction

Pittsburgh enters Sunday’s game in Saint-Denis at 4-2, compared with New Orleans at 2-4, but the SPF price already reflects that advantage. The Steelers are -162 on the moneyline and -3 against the spread, so the best betting choice is to pass.

The New Orleans Saints reported that Aaron Rodgers had taken 19 sacks entering Week 7. Saints edge rushers Chase Young and Carl Granderson had combined for 9.5 sacks, giving New Orleans a direct way to disrupt the favored team and making -162 too costly without stronger evidence of Pittsburgh’s control elsewhere.

Matchup and availability

New Orleans ended a three-game losing streak against the Giants as Tyler Shough threw three touchdown passes and the Saints gained 175 rushing yards on 38 carries. Pittsburgh had allowed 103 rushing yards per game, so that recent production gives the Saints a plausible path to staying competitive.

NFL.com listed Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek and cornerback Brandin Echols as out. Running back Rico Dowdle, Saints guard Cesar Ruiz and Saints defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd were questionable. Pittsburgh activated safety DeShon Elliott, but the unresolved availability on both teams limits confidence in a side or total.

The SPF total is 43.5, with the under priced at -115. The available evidence identifies pressure and rushing-game angles, but it doesn’t establish a dependable scoring range, so there is no supported total wager.
