New Orleans Saints vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Preview
The Saints are underperforming market expectations by 2.36 points per match this season, and their handicap record sits at 3-3 with a -0.3 unit loss, suggesting their offence hasn't quite lived up to pre-match projections. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has been slightly overperforming at 0.58 points per match and boasts a strong 4-2 handicap record with +1.1 units of profit, indicating the Steelers have made the most of their opportunities when odds favour them. The market's expected points (Saints 20.43, Steelers 24.11) lean toward Pittsburgh, though Saints guard Cesar Ruiz and defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd are questionable, while Pittsburgh is missing cornerback Ben Skowronek and wide receiver Brandin Echols, with running back Rico Dowdle and safety DeShon Elliott questionable.
Star edge rusher T.J. Watt was limited with a calf injury heading into this international match, though he remains in the mix. New Orleans has backup Jeremiah Wright available after he performed well against the Giants, providing some cover for Ruiz's uncertainty on the line. The Steelers' defensive depth at corner is a concern with Skowronek ruled out, but their overall form and efficiency in close-line situations have made them the sharper play at the market prices so far this season.
