Cardinals at Steelers picks and predictions

Prediction

Steelers 20, Cardinals 13

Moneyline

The Cardinals have yet to win on the road this season. They have averaged only 11.2 points per game on the road, never scoring more than 16, and face a Steelers defense ranked No. 5 in points allowed.

The Cardinals allowed 228 rushing yards last week, and the Steelers have nearly 1,200 rushing yards combined between Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.

That's a bad combination. The Steelers should win this game, and because they have -275 odds, you shouldn't bet the moneyline unless it is a leg of a parlay bet. It isn't worth the action on its own.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Cardinals did cover the spread in their road loss to the Houston Texans 2 weeks ago but have lost by 10 or more in their previous 4 road contests.

The Steelers have won by 7 twice and never by more this season.

But with over 400 yards of offense last week, the belief is the points will come, even though they scored only 16 points, hitting their yearly average of 16.5 on the season.

The Steelers will probably control this game from start to finish but will allow a late score to make it closer than it was competitively.

That said, they will win by a touchdown.

BET STEELERS -6.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Cardinals have only had 1 road game reach 40 points this season.

The Steelers have scored more than 20 points just once in their last 5 games.

With the Cardinals scoring so little on the road, and the Steelers scoring so little in general, this is easy.

BET UNDER 41 (-110).
