Steelers vs Eagles Prediction: A Big Favorite, a Thin Edge
The Pittsburgh Steelers walk into Lincoln Financial Field as a -198 favorite. The Philadelphia Eagles will start Tanner McKee because Jalen Hurts is on injured reserve. That sounds like a free square. The math says otherwise, and that gap is why this Week 11 game is worth your time. Kickoff is Sunday, November 22 at 1:00 PM ET on CBS.
Who Is Favored to Win Steelers vs Eagles?
Pittsburgh is the favorite at -198. Philadelphia is the underdog at +172. As of this writing, the Steelers are 6-2 and sit first of four in the AFC North. The Eagles are 2-7 and sit fourth of four in the NFC East. This is a cross-conference game, so there is no season series to lean on.
Players to Watch in Eagles vs Steelers
Aaron Rodgers has played all 8 Pittsburgh games and averages 233.9 passing yards, 1.6 touchdowns and 0.8 interceptions per game. His season line is 1,871 yards, 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions over those 8 games. DK Metcalf is listed active, so Rodgers has his top target. For Philadelphia, Saquon Barkley has played 7 of the team's 9 games and averages 9.9 carries and 42.3 rushing yards per game (296 yards and 3 touchdowns over those 7 games). With a backup quarterback starting, how much Barkley gets going matters.
What Is the Steelers vs Eagles Spread?
Start with the moneyline, a bet on who wins outright. Steelers -198 at DraftKings means a $100 bet profits $50.51. You need Pittsburgh to win 66.4% of the time just to break even. Eagles +172 at FanDuel means a $100 bet profits $172.00, with a 36.8% break-even. The spread is a handicap on the margin. Steelers -4.5 at -110 (DraftKings) wins only if Pittsburgh wins by 5 or more. A 4-point win loses.
Its break-even is 52.4%. Eagles +4.5 at -108 (BetRivers) wins if Philadelphia wins or loses by 4 or fewer, with a 51.9% break-even. The total is a bet on combined points. Over 38.5 is -110 at DraftKings (52.4% break-even). Under 38.5 is -105 at Caesars, the lower break-even of the two total prices at 51.2%. Every one of these is the best price we found. Take a worse number elsewhere and your break-even climbs.
Where the Value Is
Books bake in a fee called the vig. Strip it out and the market reads Pittsburgh at 65.6% to win and Philadelphia at 34.4%. Expected value is your average result per bet over many repeats. The spreads run minus $3.44 (Steelers) and minus $4.82 (Eagles) per $100 risked. Nothing here is positive. The smallest drag per $100 risked is the Steelers moneyline.
Who Is Out for the Eagles and Steelers?
Philadelphia lists six names: Jalen Hurts (Injured Reserve), plus DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Britain Covey, Jonathan Jones and Jihaad Campbell, all Out. Smith, Wicks and Covey are wide receivers. Dallas Goedert, Elijah Mitchell and Jake Elliott are listed active. Pittsburgh has five on injured reserve: Michael Pittman Jr., Derrick Harmon, Sebastian Joseph-Day and two more. Rodgers, Metcalf, Alex Highsmith and Chris Boswell are active.
The Pick
We lean Steelers moneyline at -198 at DraftKings. Be clear about what that is. It is a matchup lean, not a plus-value bet. A backup quarterback missing three receivers faces a 6-2 team, and this price costs the least per $100 risked on the board. Keep the stake small, and do not lay anything worse than -198.
