Pittsburgh Steelers (2-3) vs Seattle Seahawks (2-3)
Sunday, October 17, 2021 at 8:20 pm
This is a play on the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS with our NFL Sunday Primetime Punisher. The Seahawks took a big hit last Thursday as Russell Wilson has been ruled out because of the finger injury he suffered against the Rams last Thursday night and will likely be out until early December. Geno Smith will take over as the starter and he looked solid coming in for Wilson last week and now he has had extra preparation time to get ready for the Steelers. The Seahawks are 2-3 on the season including three losses in their last four games although the one victory was an impressive one over the 49ers on the road. Pittsburgh snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Denver last week as it looks to have turned the corner but we are still not buying it. The offensive line looked solid last week against Denver but we see a regression here that should overlook the Seahawks sans Wilson. Ben Roethlisberger was fortunate to have three passes that should have been picked off but were not. The Seahawks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog while the Steelers are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as a favorite. Here, we play on road underdogs or pickems in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .400 and .499. This situation is 22-4 ATS (84.6 percent) over the last 10 seasons. 9* (273) Seattle Seahawks
