Seahawks at Steelers picks and predictions
Prediction
Seahawks 23, Steelers 16
Money line
The Seahawks went 1-2 in last year’s preseason, dropping their first 2 games. The Steelers, who played in the Hall of Fame Game and had an extra contest, went 3-1, winning their first 3.
With uncertain lineups and uncertain execution, there is 1 worthwhile play here and it is simply because of the value in this preseason matchup. All preseason matchups are basically tossups because when the games are decided, it is usually when there are back-of-the-roster players and guys who won’t be in the NFL. Take the value. SEAHAWKS (+155).
Against the spread
Results in preseason games can vary wildly. The Steelers won 3 preseason contests by 6 or more and lost 1 by more than 20.
The Seahawks had 1 win by 27 and 2 losses by 13-plus.
PASS on the spread.
