After what has been a long and tumultuous offseason, it’s finally game week for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh kicks off the regular season on the road against the Atlanta Falcons in a showdown between new Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith and the team he used to coach.
The Steelers have turned over a huge chunk of the roster this offseason in hopes of getting the team’s first playoff win since 2016. A key to a successful season for the Steelers is a fast start.

BetMGM has the odds for this week’s game and the Falcons are currently three-point home favorites over the Steelers. Atlanta made a huge addition this offseason adding free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins and they hope he is the missing piece on offense.
The Steelers focused on offense this offseason as well with three new quarterbacks but most pundits have serious concerns if adding guys like Russell Wilson and Justin Fields is going to make this team better.
2022 was the last time the Steelers and Falcons squared off, Pittsburgh won 19-16 thanks to four Matthew Wright field goals.
