In the National Football League, the Pittsburgh Steelers are on the road at the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. Both teams have a ton to play for in this game, as they seek a spot in the postseason. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 8-7 on the season, which is tied for third in the AFC North. The Steelers are currently tied with several teams for the final wildcard spot, but are behind via the tiebreaker. Pittsburgh kept their season alive with a win over Cincinnati last week.
For Seattle, they are 8-7 as well. Currently, the Seahawks are 7th in the NFC, which would mean a trip to the postseason. The Seahawks have won back to back games, including a win over Tennessee in Week 16. The Seahawks are -3.5 in this game over the Steelers. The total is listed at 41.5.
Seahawks Seem to be Back
Pete Carroll and his Seattle Seahawks went through a tough stretch that had them limping for a postseason spot. But, following their road loss to the 49ers, they bounced back with back to back 20-17 wins. The Week 15 win was over Philadelphia and Week 16 was on the road in Nashville.
The Seahawks are scoring 21.3 points per game. Defensively, they are allowing 23.5 per game, but still remain in a spot to reach the postseason. Geno Smith missed Week 15, and the team was led by Drew Lock. Smith has 3,145 yards on the season in the passing game, with 17 touchdowns. DK Metcalf is just a yard shy of 1,000 on the season, with 8 touchdowns
The run game for the Seahawks is anchored by Kenneth Walker III. The former Michigan State star has 774 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns. Seattle will finish their 2023 regular season on the road at the Arizona Cardinals.
Tomlin in the Mix
Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers had a great game plan that got them back into the playoff picture in the AFC. The Steelers were left for dead, and after completing the sweep over Cincinnati, they are back in the mix. The Steelers are seeking their 4th road win of the season, as they have split their first six.
The Steelers are one of the worst offensive teams in the National Football League. They are scoring just 17.1 points per game. George Pickens had his best game of the season in the win last week, and is now over 1,000 receiving yards. Najee Harris leads the run game with 801 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Pittsburgh is on the road at the Baltimore Ravens next week for a Week 18 affair.
Tough Week 17 Tilt
This is not going to be an easy task for the Pittsburgh Steelers to go on the road and win in Seattle. Mason Rudolph was better than the other two quarterbacks, but not sure he has what it takes to win this game on the road. Seattle seems to have bounced back, and ready to get into the postseason.
Look for Seattle to get the job done here. Geno Smith and his offense get it going, and win the game. The final bet for this game is the Seattle Seahawks -3.5 over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the National Football League on Sunday.
