AAA SPORTS EARLY NFL NON-CONFERENCE DOMINATOR
(NFL) Steelers (PIT) vs. Falcons (ATL),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -109.00 Falcons (ATL) (Home)
Result: Loss
Both teams have more questions than answers heading into the 2024/25 season, but we say that Atlanta will find a way to get the job done in Week 1 at home. Both teams looked poor in the preseason, going 0-3. But, let's not read TOO much into those results. We just have very little faith in this Steelers' offense and in beleaguered and banged-up veteran QB Russell Wilson. With Wilson iffy with a calf issues, we're also not sold on Justin Fields, who Wilson had already beaten to earn the Week 1 start, prior to his injury. The Steelers finished 10-7 last year, but that was only good enough for third place in the AFC North. Atlanta was 7-10 and missed the playoffs, but with Kirk Cousins ready to go, Wilson/Fields will have difficulties keeping pace. Tomlin remains a great coach but the Falcons are the more complete team entering the season. Lay the points, the play is indeed on Atlanta!
