Pittsburgh Steelers vs Washington Commanders Prediction
Washington comes into this matchup on a three-game winning streak and while they have played well this season, their last three wins came against some teams that are towards the bottom of their respective divisions. Pittsburgh has also won three games in a row against some lesser teams, but they have scored 26+ points in those three victories. Pittsburgh is 3-1 on the road this year, while Washington is 4-0 at home. I know the Steelers aren’t known for their offense, but they have looked pretty strong recently and play a Washington defense that I have some concerns about. Take the over in this matchup.
