On Sunday at 4:25pm ET, the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) will be on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks (5-5).
“The Crowd” projects a final score of Seahawks 27 – Steelers 23 with an over/under of 49.8. The Steelers have won two straight games since star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returned from injury. The Steelers enter the game with a (+45) point differential while the Seahawks have a (+36) point differential. The Steelers’ offense ranks sixth in yards per game (384.9) and are tied for 12th in points scored (236). They will be up against a Seahawks defense that ranks second in fewest yards allowed per game (303.6) and seventh in fewest points allowed (192).
The Seahawks’ offense ranks 10th in yards per game (367.6) and 16th in points scored (228). They will square off with a Steelers defense that ranks 23rd in fewest yards allowed per game (371.4) and are tied for fifth in fewest points allowed (191). Both the Steelers (+5) and the Seahawks (+1) have a positive turnover margin.
This should be a close game but I give a slight edge to the Seahawks on their home turf.
PREDICTION: Seahawks 27, Steelers 24
