Saints vs Steelers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Acrisure Stadium at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, November 13, 2022.
Why Bet The Under:
✅ The New Orleans Saints are coming off of a short prep week, having played the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football in Week 9. For an offense that is already banged up, that is going to be a problem, and will help the game go under the total.
✅ Pittsburgh has been terrible on offense so far this year. Their 15 points per game ranks 31st in the NFL to this point in the season. Despite the extra week to prepare, the Steelers will continue to flounder offensively to help this game go under.
✅ Two of Pittsburgh’s three home games so far this season have gone under the total. They will go to three out of four to the under at home after this contest with the Saints.

New Orleans Saints
The New Orleans Saints come into this game with the Steelers having played on Monday Night Football at home in Week 9. In their second straight game against an AFC North opponent, the Saints will have to like their chances on the defensive side of the ball. The question will be whether they can generate enough offense on the road to win here.
The Saints rank third in the NFL in total offense this season. But they have done the bulk of that damage indoors. In Pittsburgh in November, with sub-40 degree temperatures in the Sunday forecast, the Saints could see their red-hot offense frozen.
Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers had their bye week in Week 9, which allowed them an extra week to get ready for this game. Rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett can use all the extra time he can get to prepare for any contest, after helping to lead the team to the 31st ranked scoring offense prior to their bye. This week, the Steelers face a vulnerable Saints defense, with the question being whether or not they can take advantage of New Orleans’ defensive issues.
Only one qualifying quarterback this season has done poorly enough in yards per pass attempt to equal Pickett so far this season. That was Joe Flacco, who was filling in for the injured Zach Wilson early this year for the Jets. Pickett has to find a way to be more explosive down the field if the Steelers are going to win this game and if he is going to make positive strides in the second half of the year.
