The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to host the Green Bay Packers for their Week 8’s Sunday Night Football matchup, live from Acrisure Stadium. The Steelers are currently leading the AFC North with a 4-2 record, but are coming off a very disappointing loss against the Cincinnati Bengals with the final score of 33-31. The Steelers, who are above .500 this season with Aaron Rodgers leading the way, have been inconsistent on defense and offense. They have struggled to gather any kind of rhythm this season and we do not know what to expect from them just yet.
Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers are off to a strong start this season with a 4-1-1 record this season. The Packers’ defense with Micah Parsons this season, has been tremendous ranking 6th in total defense this season, which has been key in getting wins this season. However, on the offensive end, they still lack consistency win Jordan Love leading the way.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jordan Love to have under 0.5 INTs | -152 | -135 |
| Jaylen Warren over 14.5 rushing attempts | -138 | -118 |
| Josh Jacobs anytime TD scorer | -180 | -185 |
Jordan Love should be able to not throw any picks in this game, as the Steelers have the second worst passing defense in the NFL this season, only ahead of the Dallas Cowboys. Jordan Love has only recorded two picks this season and is highly accurate with his passing at 69.3 percent completion rate.
Jaylen Warren should be able to get over 14.5 rushing attempts as he exploded for 127 yards in the Steelers’ previous matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Packers have struggled against the pass this season, and their primary focus should be to stop Aaron Rodgers and his arm, which could have Jaylen Warren with more touches in this game.
Josh Jacobs is already up to 8 rushing touchdowns this season, playing for the Packers and has scored 2 TDs each, in the last three games. Looking at the Steelers’ 18th ranked rush defense, 19th ranked scoring defense, and Jacobs being one of the Packers’ key contributors in scoring, he should be able to get at least a touchdown.
We expect the Green Bay Packers to walk away win a victory, going against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Packers have some holes on the offensive side of the field but are sounds defensively. While the Steelers have shown inconsistencies on both sides of the field. If the Packers manage to stop the Steelers’ passing offense, they should be able to get the win.
Prediction: Packers win the game 25-21
