Steelers vs. Eagles Prediction and Pick
The Steelers offense stinks. They're going to need a lot of things to go right for them to stay in this game. They rank dead last in the NFL in yards per play heading into Week 8, averaging just 4.8 yards per snap.
Now, they have to take on an Eagles team that ranks 13th in yards per play, but more importantly, third in opponent yards per play. The last time the Steelers played against a defense this good, they lost 38-3 to the Buffalo Bills.
The one way you can attack this Eagles defense, is by running the ball. They rank 28th in opponent yards per carry, but yet the Steelers are the one of the worst running teams in the league, averaging only 3.7 yards per rush.
Not only are the Steelers out-skilled in this game, but it's also a terrible matchup for them from a stylistic perspective. I'll back the Eagles to win big in this spot.
