Seattle vs Pittsburgh Game Preview

Why Seattle Will Win

Geno Smith can sling it.

He might not be Russell Wilson, and he’s going to make a few big mistakes, but he’s got the receiver weapons around him and there’s enough of a running game to take some of the pressure off.

Don’t expect a shootout with both teams looking to do the same thing.

They both want to limit the need to rely on their respective quarterbacks, they both want to run, and they both want to get into the fourth quarter with a chance to win.

The Steelers will be a bit more balanced with the ground game having its best performance of the season.
