Pittsburgh Steelers at New Orleans Saints Betting Tips

Key Numbers – Will Steelers Record 5th Cover?
Saints Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Steelers Won Last Meeting
Pittsburgh Steelers 4-2 After Back-To-Back Wins
New Orleans Saints Snapped Three-Game Skid

Pittsburgh are tipped to cover as they win the first ever regular season game in Paris.

New Orleans’ defense is one of the worst in the league, and veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers can take full advantage of that to lead the Steelers to victory.

Key Numbers – Will Steelers Record 5th Cover?

Pittsburgh Steelers have covered in all 4 of their wins
New Orleans Saints have lost 4 of their 6 games so far
New Orleans have failed to cover in their last 3 losses
The Over has cashed in each of Pittsburgh’s last 4 games

Saints Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Steelers Won Last Meeting

New Orleans Saints lead the all-time series 9-8
Pittsburgh Steelers won 20-10 when the two teams last met in November 2022

Pittsburgh Steelers 4-2 After Back-To-Back Wins

Pittsburgh make the trip to Paris having won back-to-back games to improve their record to 4-2.

The Steelers enjoyed a winning start to the season as they beat Atlanta at home, 20-13, but they failed to follow that up in their road opener as they were beaten 20-3 at New England.

They responded with a big 30-27 win over division rivals Cincinnati, only to then lose their next AFC North clash as they were beaten 27-24 in Cleveland.

Pittsburgh bounced back the following week, as they climbed back above .500 with a 34-22 win over Indianapolis.

The Steelers then followed that up last weekend, as they downed the Buccaneers 26-19 in Tampa.

New Orleans Saints Snapped Three-Game Skid

New Orleans go into this international matchup having ended a three-game losing skid with a win that improved them to 2-4.

The Saints opened the season with a defeat, but were far from disgraced as they fell 31-30 in overtime in Detroit.

They put that behind them a week later with a 24-17 success in Baltimore, but failed to follow that up as they lost their next three games at home.

New Orleans lost 35-27 to Las Vegas, 45-24 to division rivals Atlanta and 23-13 to Minnesota in a miserable run at the Superdome.

The Saints did stop the rot last weekend though, as they held on to beat the New York Giants on the road, 34-27.

Verdict

PIT Steelers v NO Saints

Pittsburgh made hard work of it in Tampa, but they did get the job done and we are backing them to follow that up here.

Aaron Rodgers can have his way with a Saints defense that ranks joint worst in the league in points allowed per game and 29th in yards given up per game.
