Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction 8-24-24 Picks

The Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers meet Saturday in NFL preseason week 3 action at Ford Field. Here’s a Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction. This article will include a Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Pick.

Preseason Has Been a Struggle for the Steelers

The preseason has been a struggle for the Steelers, and they have lost each of the first two Games. In the first Game against the Houston Texans they were defeated 20-12 and in the last Game against the Buffalo Bills they were defeated 9-3. For a Steelers team that is trying to figure out the quarterback position. Justin Fields completed 11 of his 17 passes for 92 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Russell Wilson completed 8 of his 10 passes for 47 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. It doesn’t appear the comPetition is over yet, and it’s unclear if both guys are going to play in this Game. Fields was the team’s leading rusher, putting up 42 yards on eight carries. The offense has been inconsistent, but the defense has actually looked pretty well. 

Lions Offense Looked Good in Last Game

The Lions struggled in the first Game against the New York Giants, but in the last Game against the Kansas City Chiefs, they were able to secure the 24-23 victory. At the end of the first quarter they were down 13-0 In the last three quarters the offense was better, and they ended up winning by one point. Nate Sudfeld completed 14 of his 27 passes for 196 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Hendon Hooker also got plenty of playing time and completed 12 of his 15 passes for 150 yards. Isaiah Williams also had a huge Game, catching six passes for 71 yards. 

Detroit Lions vs Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

The Steelers’ offense has been a major issue all Game, and I expect it’s going to continue to be a problem again here. The Steelers defense has been good, though, and their defense is going to step up in a big way here. The Lions aren’t going to get as good of quarterback play here, and that is going to be the difference here, as this Game is going to end up lower scoring. Back the under to cash here.
