Green Bay Packers at Pittsburgh Steelers (-14)
Total: 43.5
PickCenter public pick: 69 percent on PIT
Phil Steele
The Packers are now 1-4 both straight up and ATS without Aaron Rodgers, and just got shutout at home by Baltimore. Pittsburgh might be the most complete team in the NFL. The Steelers defense gives up only 287 yards per game and have a full complement of weapons on offense, supported by one of the NFL's best offensive lines. They are plus 108 yards per game at Heinz Field with all three of their home wins coming by 15 or more. With an 11-4 ATS mark as a non-division home favorite and Green Bay off a shutout home defeat at Lambeau Field, I'll give the Steelers the win in this one.
ATS pick: Lean on Pittsburgh
Erin Rynning
It's difficult to give the Packers much of an edge as they muddle through the remainder of the season with Brett Hundley at quarterback. Figuratively, they've fallen off the cliff without Rodgers and it's difficult to envision them moving the football consistently against the stout Steelers defense. However, the Steelers have performed flat throughout the campaign with their often underachieving offense, which makes laying two touchdowns a questionable endeavor.
Pick: Pass
Warren Sharp
This will be the biggest challenge thus far for Hundley. He has been the benefactor of a home-heavy schedule since taking over under center with three of his past four starts coming at Lambeau. His lone road start was in that stretch was at Chicago against a predictable and one-dimensional offense. This game is in Pittsburgh against a defense that will bring the No. 3-ranked pass rush, and the Steelers have a dynamic offense, which should force a ton of pass attempts from Hundley. He wasn't in that sort of situation in Chicago. A big edge for the Steelers will be their pass offense, where they rank seventh in the league, much better than any recent opponent for the Packers.
Pick: Pass
Mike Clay
Prediction: Pittsburgh 27, Green Bay 13
ATS pick: Pittsburgh and the under
