The Pittsburgh Steelers (4-7) visit the Atlanta Falcons (5-7) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Steelers vs. Falcons odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
A 19-13 loss to Washington was not what the Falcons wanted last Sunday. The team had a chance to win, but a critical red-zone interception from Marcus Mariota cost Atlanta the game. With Tampa Bay’s loss, the Falcons remain just 1 game back in the weak NFC South Division.
The Steelers feel good after a 24-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. But despite the win, Pittsburgh is still 4th in the AFC North. While the team is struggling, QB Kenny Pickett had some moments on Monday and his progress means good things for the future in Pittsburgh. His connection with WR George Pickens is something the team can build on. If Najee Harris can get healthy, there is a solid young core for the Steelers to count on.

Steelers at Falcons picks and predictions
Prediction
Falcons 24, Steelers 21
Moneyline
BET FALCONS (-105).
If you are going to bet the ML, do not bet the spread at 1. Both odds are similar and choosing either is fine in this game. Same goes for the Steelers.
Against the spread
PASS.
If you bet the ML then skip the spread as the numbers are the same. If you decide to wager on the spread, then skip the ML. it is as simple as that in this game.
Over/Under
BET OVER 42.5 (-109).
This game will be close. With 2 not-so-good teams and a close spread, I like the Over to hit. When Watt is healthy, the Pittsburgh defense is entirely different. With injured ribs heading into this game, the defense will not be as good, and the Falcons will be able to use Mariota in the run game and Drake London in the pass game to move the ball. The Steelers will also be able to move the ball against a bad Atlanta defense. I do not think this game is a shootout, but it does get into the 40s. Give me OVER 42.5 (-109).
