Seahawks vs Steelers Prediction
The current betting odds have the Steelers listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Steelers have a 1-0 record overall this season and they looked really good in week 1 with their new look offense. They beat the Jets 34-32 on the road and Aaron Rodgers looked like his old self again after a bad stint in New York. The defense didn't look great and was a big issue all game, but they still have a ton of talent on that defense and will be looking to bounce back at home. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have a 0-1 record overall this season and they didn't look great in their season opener. They lost at home to the 49ers 17-13 and their defense looked great in that game, but their offense was terrible. They made a ton of changes to the offense in the off-season, bringing in Sam Darnold as their new QB and even trading away their star WR, and those have not looked like good moves so far. Now this is their 1st road game of the season and that Steelers defense isn't going to look as bad at home as it did last week so the Seahawks offense is going to struggle again in this game. The defense will only be able to do so much too as Rodgers will be able to put up the offense needed to put the Seahawks away at home. The best way to place a bet here is on the Steelers to cover the spread in this game.
