Writer’s Breakdown and Pick for the Steelers vs Falcons Game
Tomlin’s Road Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a whole new look under center.
Gone is Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.
It is Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
Wilson is projected to start in Week 1.
The Steelers still use Najee Harris in the back field.
Last season, he came away with just over 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns.
Jaylen Warren should be in good shape as the back up running back in Pittsburgh.
George Pickens is still there as their lead receiver, along with Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III.
Pat Freiermuth leads the attack at the tight end position.
The Steelers start the season with back to back road games.
In Week 2, the Steelers are at the Denver Broncos.
Pittsburgh will host the Rams in their first home game on September 22nd.
New Looked Falcons
The Falcons have a new look under center as well.
Desmond Ridder will no longer be taking the snaps.
Instead it will be Kirk Cousins and if he cannot stay healthy, Michael Penix Jr.
The Falcons will once again lean on the legs of Bijan Robinson.
He carried it for nearly 1,000 yards a season ago.
The Falcons have high hopes for Drake London.
Last season, he finished with 905 receiving yards.
He will be the top receiving threat, with Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III as the other receiving options.
Atlanta will head to Philadelphia in Week Two and take on the Eagles.
After that, the Falcons are at home against the Chiefs, Saints and Buccaneers in a stretch of three straight home games.
NFL Week 1 Final Betting Pick: Falcons Top Steelers in Atlanta
We expect this to be one of the better, more competitive games in Week One of the NFL season.
The Falcons are going to want to get Robinson involved early and often.
Pittsburgh is going to have some work to do with their new quarterback situation.
In the end, the Falcons are going to win the game at home.
If we had to give a score prediction, we would take the Atlanta Falcons 24-20 over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Take Atlanta -3.5 at home on Sunday!
