Steelers vs Eagles Predictions
Against the Spread
I'm siding with the Steelers against the spread in Sunday afternoon's matchup. There are multiple trends that say this is a good spot to back Mike Tomlin, and I'm also unconvinced by the Eagles' recent performances.
My Pick: Steelers +5.5 (-110)
Over/Under
My projection for this game's total was 41 to start the week, but I don't see enough of an edge in the matchup for a bet on the under.

Steelers vs Eagles Week 15 Preview, Picks
I thought I’d want to fade the Steelers, and I still do in the grand scheme of the NFL season. I’m not sold on them as true contenders, so I’ll be betting against them eventually.
Here, though, is not the spot.
Remember last season? The Eagles were 10-1 with two new coordinators. They were unconvincing and the metrics said they weren’t that good.
Well, this year, the Eagles are 11-2 and have won nine straight games. A look under the hood tells me that I’m not convinced.
Two weeks ago, the Eagles pulled off a huge road win over the Ravens. They were outgained 372-252, though, and benefited from two Justin Tucker missed field goals, as well as an unsuccessful 2-point conversion by the Ravens. It was a tough game, so OK, we move on.
Last week, at home, against the three-win Panthers, the Eagles were outgained again. Philadelphia held on for the win because Xavier Legette couldn’t hold onto a potential game-winning touchdown at the goal line.
The wins are nice, but the performances aren’t convincing.
The Steelers will be without George Pickens again, but they were last week and beat the Browns by two touchdowns.
Also, if there’s one thing that offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is good at, it’s building an offense around non-star players and feeding them the ball. We know that from how frustrated people were during his stint as Falcons head coach with how he handled RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts.
The Steelers came out slow against the Browns, but that happens when a key player like Pickens is ruled out on Friday so late in the week. Pittsburgh will be ready for life without its WR1 this week.
This Steelers defense usually thrives against mobile quarterbacks. It held Jayden Daniels and Lamar Jackson to their worst games of the season, which is very impressive.
I expect Pittsburgh to generate pressure on Hurts, which is especially bad news for him because he tends to crumble.
Hurts is averaging just 5.1 yards per pass attempt and has a 46% completion rate when under pressure this season, and his Pro Football Focus grade when under pressure ranks 34th among qualified quarterbacks this season. The Steelers don’t even need to blitz that much to put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Also, Mike Tomlin is an underdog. He covers at a 67% clip against NFC teams when he’s an underdog and is 17-9 against the spread when the opposition has a better record than his Steelers.
When the Steelers are getting between three and seven points, he’s 36-14 against the spread.
My Pick: Steelers +5.5 (-110)
