Steelers at Lions time, TV schedule, live stream, odds and more
By Brad Weiss
The Detroit Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football in Week 8. Here is the television schedule, the betting odds and how to watch.
Last Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off a solid divisional win, as the beat the Cincinnati Bengals by the score of 29-14. Running back Le’Veon Bell carried the ball over 30 times, as the Steelers got back to doing what they do best. If they can run the ball, and play defense like they did last weekend, they should have no problem pulling off the road victory in primetime in Week 8.
In order to do so, the Steelers will have to beat a Detroit Lions team that is coming off their bye week. The bye could not have come at a better time, as quarterback Matthew Stafford limped into the week off. He is back and ready to go for this matchup, where he will lead his team against a Steelers team that could be one of the top three teams in the AFC once again in 2017.
Detroit is one of the favorites to win the NFC North, especially now that Aaron Rodgers is done for the season for the Green Bay Packers. Last season, the Packers beat the Lions on the final day of the regular season to win the NFC North crown, but the Lions still punched their ticket to the playoffs as a Wildcard team. The Lions lost their Wildcard round game, but the Steelers had a much better run, making it to the AFC Championship Game.

There has been some turmoil, see Martavis Bryant, but this team is built to win now. The Lions have proven they can beat anybody, and with a healthy Stafford under center, they are never out of a game. Look for this to be a good one, but the Steelers should be able to take care of business on the road on the final game of the Sunday slate.
