The Detroit Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers face off on Sunday in an NFL preseason game at Heinz Field. When these two teams faced off in November of 2022, the two teams played to a 16-16 tie.
Detroit Lions
There aren’t very high expectations surrounding this Detroit Lions team, but they do have enough talent that they might be able to surprise some people. So far in the preseason the Lions have lost to the Atlanta Falcons 27-23, and in the last game they beat the Indianapolis Colts 27-26.
In the last game Jared Goff didn’t play, and I wouldn’t expect him to play in this game. In the last game it was David Blough and and Tom Boyle that played at quarterback. Blough completed 16 of his 22 passes for 76 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Boyle completed 12 of his 15 passes for 99 yards and a touchdown.
Justin Jackson had a big game on the ground rushing seven times for 57 yards for an average of 7.7.
Pittsburgh Steelers
On the other side of this matchup is the Steelers who have a ton of question marks heading into the season and the biggest right now is who will be starting. Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitchell Trubisky are all starting to win the starting job. So far in the preseasion the Steelers have beaten the Seattle Seahawks 32-25 and in the last game they beat the Jaguars 16-15.
Mason Rudolph completed 17 of his 21 passes for 127 yards and a touchdown. Kenny Pickett completed 6 of his 7 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown. Mitch Trubisky completed 5 of his 8 passes for 60 yards.

The Steelers have the better quarterbacks playing in this game, and I expect they are going to be good here. Look for the Steelers offense to find success and that will be the difference as Pittsburgh gets the job done. Back the Steelers against the spread.
