Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta Falcons
The Pittsburgh Steelers visit the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Atlanta is coming off a 19-13 loss to Washington dropping their record to 5-7 on the season – 2nd in the NFC South. The Steelers are coming off a 24-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. Rookie quarterback Pickett and wide receiver George Pickens seem to be building some chemistry that the Steelers hope to build on for the years to come. Oddsmakers have this game set as a pick em’. Watch for Pickett to make a rookie mistake on the road and throw at least one interception in Atlanta.
The Falcons defense has four interceptions in the last five games and ten interceptions as a team on the season. They will be facing off with Pickett who has thrown 3 touchdowns and 8 interceptions on the season. The Atlanta defense is allowing the most passing yards on the season, but this has not stopped them from forcing turnovers through the air. Expect Pittsburgh to attack the air more knowing the Falcons are vulnerable against the pass.
Pickett’s passing attempts line is set at 30.5 attempts. He has thrown at least one interception in three of five games with 30 or more passing attempts. It is hard to pass up on plus-money odds to throw a pick when his line was set as high as -170 just a few games back. Pickett is still a rookie quarterback, though, always one play away from making a rookie quarterback mistake. Forcing those mistakes will be a key to the Falcons defensive game plan, which ultimately boils down to making Pickett uncomfortable in the pocket. The Falcons are in a must-in-win situation if they want to continue to be in this playoff conversation. Take Pickett to throw an interception on the road in Atlanta on Sunday.
