Mike Tomlin vs Arthur Smith

Over their last six games, they went unbeaten against both spread (ATS) and straight up (SU), and their performance against the Atlanta Falcons was particularly revealing; both ATS and SU records against this opponent were perfect as evidenced by a historic edge over time in this particular contest.

Even as many teams struggle on the road, the Steelers have excelled away from home. Their record speaks for itself: an impressive 7-1 mark against the spread in their last eight road games shows they possess consistency and adaptability that characterize championship-caliber squads.

Mason Rudolph has been instrumental to the Steelers’ success. Over two games, Rudolph has displayed his accuracy by completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 184 yards at an average of 9.7 yards per attempt with one touchdown and zero interceptions to go along with an outstanding passer rating of 112.6. His composure under pressure also speaks volumes for Rudolph’s success as an NFL quarterback.

Jaylen Warren has quickly established himself as a forceful running back for the Steelers. His impressive 75 rushing yards over two games (an average of 18.8 per attempt) speak volumes for his impactful presence. Furthermore, Warren’s ability to break through defensive lines and gain crucial yardage has cemented his role as an integral piece of their offensive strategy.

Wide receiver Calvin Austin III has also captured the imaginations of fans and analysts alike, amassing 85 receiving yards and scoring once in two games for quarterback Mason Rudolph. What sets Austin apart, though, is his impressive average of 28.3 yards per reception which showcases his explosive speed and big play potential – adding another dynamic component to the Steelers’ aerial attack.

NFL Odds/Point Spread: Pittsburgh Steelers -9.5, Total Odds: 49

Logan Woodside has taken charge of orchestrating the Falcons’ offensive plays since taking over as quarterback last season. His completion rate of 62.1 percent and 204 passing yards across two games speak volumes about his ability as an offensive leader for his team. Though he has yet to throw any touchdowns or interceptions, Woodside remains vitally important to their game plan and stability is key when it comes to decision-making and play-calling.

Running back Godwin Igwebuike has been instrumental to the Falcons’ ground game. Amassing 131 yards at an average of 4.9 yards per carry, Igwebuike’s contribution in gaining crucial yards cannot be underrated. His ability to manage game pace and capitalize on scoring opportunities will prove crucial against the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense.
