Steelers vs Falcons Prediction and Odds for Week 13

The Pittsburgh Steelers look to keep the momentum going in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. Here are the odds and our predictions for the game.

With the season hanging by a thread, the Pittsburgh Steelers emerged victorious as road underdogs on Monday Night Football — defeating the Indianapolis Colts by a final score of 24-17. Now they will look to keep their win streak alive and rekindle the fire of their otherwise dying playoff hopes with what could be their third win in their last four games since the bye week.

Though Pittsburgh gave up 37 points against the Bengals two weeks back, they look like a stronger team since their Week 9 bye, and the offense has scored 24.6 points per game over this span. Now they face another pedestrian opponent with a losing record. Can the Steelers inch one game closer to .500 in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons?

Steelers vs Falcons Odds Week 13

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 1.5-point road favorites against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Fanduel Sportsbook. This comes after winning as underdogs on the road on Monday Night Football. Pittsburgh has a moneyline of -108 and the over/under point total is currently set at 42.5.

Steelers vs Falcons Prediction Week 13

Twice in the last three weeks, the Steelers and their opponents have actually exceeded the point total. This typically wasn’t the case early in the year. With the offense finally starting to click and a running game that has proven effective since the bye, it’s possible we could see this once again in Week 13.

The Falcons aren’t exactly loaded with talent, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that TE Kyle Pitts recently underwent season-ending knee surgery. While RB Cordarelle Patterson could give Pittsburgh fits in this contest, we are expecting a strong, well-balanced approach from Mike Tomlin’s team.

Atlanta is averaging 22.7 points per game this year while also surrendering 24.4, according to Team Rankings. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is coming off their highest-scoring three-game stretch dating back to last season.

Because the odds are so similar between the spread and the moneyline, we like the Steelers moneyline on the road this week as well as the over on the 42.5 points. We have Pittsburgh moving past the Falcons and advancing to 5-7 on the season with a final score of 24-21.
