With two wins in their last three games, the Pittsburgh Steelers are going through a good moment to travel to face the Atlanta Falcons, who need to win, in Week 13 of the NFL.
Mike Tomlin’s team shares the bottom of the AFC North with the Browns with a 4-7 record, and while they are not mathematically eliminated, their hopes of at least making it into the wild card spot are slim.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, they could continue building their good momentum, after the win over the Colts. At the same time, they could give a lethal blow to an Atlanta team that is fighting to lead the NFC South along with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Although they have scored at least 20 points in the last three games, the Steelers are one of the weakest teams in the league on offense. That is why they have the fifth fewest scored points with 194, and why they have the second lowest average yards per play with 4.8. Their main problem is that the quarterbacks have been a real disaster, as they have achieved only seven touchdowns, ten interceptions, and they are last in net yards per pass with 5.1.
Defensively, the most notable aspect has been the work put on stoping their opponents’ ground attack. They have allowed just 1,034 yards, and the five TDs conceded are the third lowest figure. The problem comes the secondary and the work they have done, which despite being second in interceptions with 12, has conceded the most TDs through the air with 22, and it has allowed 7.1 net yards per pass to opposing quarterbacks.
Predictions and Betting Preview for Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Week 13 2022
Moneyline (-115 from BetMGM)
Although the Steelers have a 2-4 record on the road this season, they arrive to this game as slight favorites against a Falcons team that has lost three of its last four games.
Pittsburgh’s defense will be the key to success considering that Atlanta has not scored more than 17 points in four of its last six games.
Spread(-1.0 from BetMGM)
The parity of the game is reflected in the spread line that is stipulated in Vegas’ sportsbooks.
Both squads have been inconsistent throughout the campaign, andseven of Pittsburgh’s games this year have been defined by seven points or less .
Over/Under (42 from BetMGM)
The dotted line is quite complex for this match. As we have already mentioned, the inconsistency of both teams in all their lines means that in every game they surprise us.
This campaign, the Steelers have five games with the Under and six with the Over, while the Falcons have six Under and six Over.

Pittsburgh Steelers Future Bets or Future Odds after the Week 12
Over/Under wins in the season: Over 6.5(-105 by BetMGM) / Under 6.5(-115 by BetMGM)
Steelers win AFC North (+5000 from BetMGM)
The bright side is that the Steelers are three games from the division’s lead, and they have two games left against the division leaders, the Ravens. The problem is that Pittsburgh does not have the offense to make such a difficult comeback with only six games left on the schedule.
Steelers win AFC Conference (+9900 from BetMGM)
The Steelers are three games from the final wild card spot. To pull off the an heroic performance and sneak into a postseason spot at the last minute, as well as winning the American Conference, looks impossible considering the that other teams like the Chiefs, the Bills, the Dolphins and the Ravens are also there. All far superior to the Steelers.
Steelers win Super Bowl (+9900 from BetMGM)
If advancing to the postseason would be a an heroic feat, and winning the AFC would be a miracle, getting a win in the Super Bowl looks truly unrealistic for the Steelers this season. That is how they see it in Las Vegas, and virtually, in the entire league as well when you consider that the team has problems in all areas of their game.
