Steelers at Saints picks and predictions
Prediction
Steelers 25, Saints 20
Moneyline
If you don't feel line laying the points, the STEELERS (-164) aren't priced out of line on the moneyline, or "cote directe", in French.
Le Steelers have won 3 of the past 4 games, and Les Saints de la Nouvelle-Orléans have dropped 3 of the past 4 outings. However, QB Tyler Shough and WR Chris Olave can change the scoreboard in the blink of an eye, so be careful and don't get carried away. This should be a very close game.
Against the spread
If you're more of a traditional bettor, STEELERS -3 (-110) is a strong play, as long as it stays below 3 and a hook. If it gets that high, buy the extra half-point, or even buy a whole point to get it down to Steelers -2.5.
This figures to be a close game. New Orleans has been involved in 4 games decided by one score, while Pittsburgh also has had 4 games decided by 7 or fewer points.
Over/Under
OVER 43.5 (-110) is the lean, but roll with a half-unit play at most.
The Steelers have cashed high in 4 in a row, as the sportsbooks haven't adjusted to Pittsburgh's offense. It has been surprisingly effective with QB Aaron Rodgers under center, going for 24+ in each of the past 4 games, while allowing 22+ in 3 of the past 4 outings.
For the Saints, they've allowed 23+ points in 4 consecutive outings, and 27 or more points in 3 of those games. The Over is 3-1 in the past 4 outings, with the lone exception a 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5.
Best prop bet
Steeler RB JAYLEN WARREN - OVER 64.5 RUSHING YARDS (-113).
The Saints rank 30th in the NFL with 828 rushing yards allowed and 11 rushing scores, while teams have managed a 4.8 yards per rushing attempt mark again them. While RB Rico Dowdle figures to have some carries, too, Warren should be relied on to be the workhorse.
