Why Bet The Steelers:
✅ The running game of the Steelers is finally coming around. Najee Harris has amassed 90+ rushing yards in two of his last three games, and the Steelers put up nice rushing numbers against the Colts as a team when he failed to get there.
✅ Atlanta, meanwhile, has been a more one-dimensional offense than the Steelers of late. They do not have the passing game to go with their top-five rushing attack, which will allow the Steelers to focus on the run the way they could against the Colts last week.
✅ Atlanta is 7-5 against the spread this season, which sounds impressive. But they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against the spread after covering in their first six.

Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off of a win on Monday Night Football in their last outing. They beat the Indianapolis Colts to get to 4-7 on the season, riding their running game to get that victory. This week, the Steelers will aim to use their running game to get another victory against a sub-.500 opponent on the road in Atlanta.
For the Steelers, their passing game’s improvement has helped their rushing attack lately. Kenny Pickett has shown the ability to get the ball to George Pickens down the field of late, which opposing defenses have had to respect. If they can keep that dynamic going, the running game can keep eating for the Steelers here.
Atlanta Falcons
For the Atlanta Falcons, the playoffs are by no means out of the question despite their 5-7 record. They are a half-game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South standings. But they need to keep winning games to have a shot at winning the division, including winnable games like this one at home against the Steelers.
Atlanta has to find something through the air to make their running game less predictable each week. Atlanta is averaging just 155 passing yards per game, which ranks 31st in the NFL this season. If they cannot at least threaten more passing yardage, the Falcons could allow the Steelers to pack the box and slow their rushing attack in this contest.
