Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Pittsburgh Steelers at Philadelphia Eagles preseason matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) visit the Philadelphia Eagles (0-0) Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field. Below, we look at the Steelers at Eagles odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Steelers are coming off a victory over the Dallas Cowboys in which they entered as slight favorites. They won 16-3 despite unimpressive snaps from first-round pick RB Najee Harris.

Veteran Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger did not play against Dallas and will not play against Philadelphia either. Pittsburgh will be led by a combination of QB Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins.

As for the Eagles, first-year head coach Nick Sirianni is expected to start second-year QB Jalen Hurts. Veteran QB Joe Flacco will spearhead a couple of drives as well.

It’s unlikely Eagles first-round pick and former Heisman Trophy winner WR Devonta Smith sees his first NFL action against the Steelers, leaving the Philadelphia quarterbacks without many options.

Steelers at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Eagles 17, Steelers 10

Money line

BET on the EAGLES (-110) as they’re going to have several drives with a competent quarterback who should challenge the Steelers defense. Pittsburgh gave up three points to Dallas, but the Cowboys were without their three best offensive personnel.

The Eagles will have Hurts and Flacco both in action while the Steelers will continue with their duo of underwhelming quarterbacks. Given the talent difference at quarterback and the inefficiency of Harris in the Steelers preseason opener, the Eagles should be able to outscore Pittsburgh.

Philadelphia was 3-4-1 at home last year and 1-7 on the road, so the Eagles are clearly a better team at Lincoln Financial.

The first half of this game will help prove if the Steelers’ defense is as legit as it was last season. LB Devin Bush is expected to play, but it’d be shocking if he saw numerous drives.

Against the spread

PASS on the Eagles -0.5 (-112) as the money line just makes more sense. If the Eagles win, it’s going to be by more than half a point, so if you’re looking to bet on a side, just opt for the Eagles money line at better odds.

Now, moving the spread a few points on an alternate may be smart to get plus-money odds. That’s really the only reason to look to the spread on this one.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 36.5 (-115) as Big Ben isn’t going to play and Hurts likely won’t get multiple drives.

Steelers quarterbacks were 18-for-28 and totaled fewer than 200 passing yards against the Cowboys. The Steelers’ two top running backs went for a combined 18 carries and 42 yards in their opener. Everyone other than WR Chase Claypool just wasn’t impressive.

Both the Steelers and Cowboys eased their way into preseason play. As for the Eagles, they’ll likely be without Smith, leaving Hurts and Flacco without many options.

Given both teams won’t be wanting to play their big names a high amount of snaps, this game going Under 36.5 points seems like a good bet.

Line Moving: Browns line impacted as coach Kevin Stefanski to miss Wild Card game

The Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns AFC Wild Card game spread has moved with the announcement the Browns will be without their head coach Sunday

The Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) host the Cleveland Browns (11-5) in an AFC Wild Card battle Sunday, but the Browns will be without head coach Kevin Stefanski, among others, due to COVID-19.

Nothing comes easy for the Browns, playing in their first playoff game in 18 years, and now they have to do it without their team leader, per NFL.com.

While the NFL Wild Card game remains on schedule for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff at Heinz Field, the Browns will have to move forward with offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt calling plays during the game and special teams coordinator Mike Priefer to serve as the acting head coach.

The Browns are also expected to be without Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio and wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge.

With changes at the top of the Cleveland team, the oddsmakers at BetMGM Sportsbook have already adjusted the line in the Steelers’ favor. Previously they had a 4.5-point spread, which has moved 1.5 points and the Steelers are now a 6-point favorite over the Browns Sunday.

The total (46.5 points) remains unchanged, but the money line has shifted from the Browns at +165 to +200 and the Steelers from -200 to -250.

NFL Wild Card: Pittsburgh Steelers home favorites vs. Cleveland Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the betting favorites in their NFL Wild Card home game vs the Cleveland Browns.

During NFL Wild Card Weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) host the Cleveland Browns (11-5) Sunday in an AFC Wild Card matchup at 8:15 p.m. ET at Heinz Field. Below, we take a look at the early Browns-Steelers betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Steelers dropped a 24-22 game to the Browns in Week 17 at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. With the AFC North title already locked up, the Steelers rested several starters, including QB Ben Roethlisberger, and still almost pulled off an upset as 10.5-point underdogs. In fact, they were just a 2-point conversion away from tying the game with 1:23 to go. Pittsburgh picked up a 38-7 win as a 3-point home favorite in the first meeting between the two rivals in Week 6 as the Under (50) connected. The Steelers were 7-1 straight-up and 5-3 ATS at Heinz Field this season, including 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in three games against divisional opponents. The Steelers are 2-0 vs. the Browns in the postseason, winning 29-9 in an AFC Divisional Round game Jan. 7, 1995, and 36-33 in a Wild Card matchup Jan. 5, 2003, which is the last time the Browns were in the postseason.

If you want to know how long it has been since Cleveland was in the playoffs, QB Kelly Holcomb threw for 429 yards and three touchdowns in that Wild Card loss to the Steelers in 2003. RB Amos Zereoue led the Steelers with 73 yards on the ground, easily outdueling Browns RB William Green, who had 30 yards. WR Kevin Johnson had 140 receiving yards, and WR Dennis Northcutt had 92 yards with 2 touchdowns for the visiting Browns, while WR Hines Ward and WR Plaxico Burress each caught a Steelers TD pass and finished with 104 and 100 receiving yards, respectively. TE Jerame Tuman also found the end zone Pittsburgh. Yeah, it’s been a while for the Browns. Cleveland managed a 5-3 SU road record this season but was just 3-5 ATS away from the shores of Lake Erie. The Browns were 4-4 O/U on the road with the Under going 2-1 in their three AFC North matchups. Cleveland went 2-1 SU and 1-2 ATS in three primetime games, with the Over cashing twice this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers double-digit road favorites at Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the betting favorites in the Week 15 Monday Night Football game at the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (11-2) visit the Cincinnati Bengals (2-10-1) in the Week 15 Monday Night Football game for an 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Bengals-Steelers betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 26-15 at the Buffalo Bills in the Week 14 Sunday Night Football game. The Steelers, who were 2-point underdogs, suffered a second consecutive defeat after starting the season 11-0. They managed just 47 rushing yards and failed to score at least 20 points for a third game in a row. QB Ben Roethlisberger finished with 187 passing yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. On the bright side, they clinched a playoff berth earlier in the day when the Miami Dolphins lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Plus, they recorded a sack in an NFL-record 70 consecutive regular-season games, breaking a tie with the 1999-2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bengals lost at home to their former starting QB Andy Dalton (2 TDs) and the Dallas Cowboys 30-7 in Week 14. Cincinnati, which was a 3-point underdog, finished with more total yards (309 to 272), but fumbled the ball 3 times, while Dallas had zero turnovers. QB Brandon Allen (27 of 36 pass attempts) threw for 217 yards with 1 TD, a 5-yard pass to WR A.J. Green (team highs: 62 receptions, 62 receiving yards). Cincy has lost 5 in a row and failed to score at least 18 points in each game during the stretch. At 2-10-1, the Bengals are looking at the No. 3 overall draft pick, just behind the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-12) and the New York Jets (0-13) – five teams are tied at 4-9.

Buffalo Bills favored at home vs. Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14

The Buffalo Bills are the betting favorites in their Week 14 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (11-1) visit the Buffalo Bills (9-3) for the Week 14 Sunday Night Football game at 8:20 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early Steelers-Bills betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Steelers suffered their first loss of the season in a surprising 23-17 upset by the Washington Football Team Monday of Week 13 at Heinz Field. Pittsburgh, which was a 6-point favorite, blew a 14-3 halftime lead, missed a chance to clinch a playoff spot and fell into a tie with the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC’s top seed. QB Ben Roethlisberger (33 of 53) finished with 305 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. Of more concern is Pittsburgh’s ground game, which produced just 21 yards on 14 carries in the loss.

The Bills were very impressive in a 34-24 victory vs. the San Francisco 49ers in the Week 13 Monday Night Football game. QB Josh Allen completed 32 of 40 passes for 375 yards and tied a career-high with four TD passes. The Bills, who were 1.5-point underdogs, recorded their fifth victory in their last six games and remained one game ahead of the Miami Dolphins (8-4) atop the AFC East. The 49ers were the home team, but the game was played at the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium due to COVID-19 rules in Santa Clara, Calif.

Pittsburgh remained undefeated this fall with a 36-10 home win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers scored in every quarter and displayed a solid passing game and defense. QB Ben Roethlisberger went 27-of-46 for 333 yards, tossing four touchdown passes without an interception.

Jacksonville returns home after suffering a 24-20 loss at the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The loss marked the Jags’ eighth in a row after opening the 2020 season with a 27-20 home win over Indianapolis. Jacksonville was held to just 260 yards of total offense.
