The Steelers will win handedly

Pittsburgh is in a groove right now. They have figured out an offensive blueprint that has led them to wins, and they looked very solid defensively against Cleveland. Pittsburgh is also protecting the ball. Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t thrown an interception during this three game winning streak. He threw at least one interception in every game during their three game skid between Weeks two and four.

Big Ben’s passer rating has also gone up astronomically. When Pittsburgh doesn’t ask Roethlisberger to throw the ball 40 times, he has been able to get into a rhythm of his own. The offense has looked much better because of the balance they finally found, and that has taken a load off of the shoulders of the defense.

Defensively, Pittsburgh will be in Field’s face all night. The Bears offensive line is abysmal. Whether it’s Watt and Alex Highsmith off the edge, or Cam Heyward in the interior, the Steelers front seven is going to get home to the quarterback. An offense that is playing well combined with a stout defense playing a rookie quarterback behind a bad offensive line says Pittsburgh wins big here. WynnBet has the line at -6.5 in favor of Pittsburgh- take the Steelers and the points.
