Steelers out to shine

Preseason Football Matchup Analysis

In the final preseason clash, the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0, 2-0 ATS, 1-1 O/U) are set to face the Atlanta Falcons (2-0, 1-1 ATS, 0-2 O/U).

The Steelers started with a victory against the Bucs and followed up with a convincing 27-15 win over the Bills.

Similarly, the Falcons secured a win against the Dolphins and played to a 13-13 draw against the Bengals.

Last season, the Steelers managed a 16-13 road victory against the Falcons.

 

Pittsburgh Steelers Preseason Performances

The Steelers are striving for an undefeated preseason, securing two impressive wins.

Kenny Pickett is likely to sit out the final preseason game, allowing the deep QB roster to shine.

Mitch Trubisky, a former Chicago Bears starter, serves as the backup QB.

Trubisky, who signed an extension after a 4:5 TD to INT ratio last season, completed 10 of 13 passes for 78 yards against the Bills.

Mason Rudolph brings experience, with a 16:11 TD to INT ratio.

Despite not playing last season, Rudolph showcased his skills with 184 passing yards across two preseason games.

Tanner Morgan, the third-string QB, is entering his second year, displaying promise from his time with Minnesota in the Big Ten.

 

Backup RB Jaylen Warren impressed with 75 rushing yards on just four carries last game.

Despite a less potent receiving corps, Diontae Johnson and rookie George Pickens show promise.

Calvin Austin III had three receptions for 85 yards in two preseason games.

Last season, the Steelers averaged 18.1 points (26th) and allowed 20.4 points (10th) on defense.

 

Atlanta Falcons Preseason Performances

The Falcons, plagued by defensive issues last season, have shown preseason improvement.

They beat the Dolphins 19-3 and tied the Bengals 13-13 despite being favored by six points.

Desmond Ridder won't likely play; backup QB Taylor Heinicke, with 1859 passing yards in nine games last year, stepped in against the Bengals (13/21, 162 yards).

Logan Woodside, the third-string QB, displayed promise with 204 passing yards.

 

Rookie RB Bijan Robinson is expected to shine, while top WR Drake London had 866 receiving yards as a rookie.

The defence added players like cornerback Jeff Okudah.

Atlanta averaged 21.5 points (15th) and conceded 22.7 points (24th) last season.

 

Preseason Prediction

The Steelers under Coach Mike Tomlin usually strive for preseason wins.

They're 13-3 in the last 16 preseason games.

Falcons' Coach Arthur Smith is in his third season with a 4-4 exhibition record.

As this is the final preseason game, starters may see limited action.

 

Steelers' QB depth is notable, with Trubisky as backup and Rudolph as third-string.

Trubisky completed 65% of passes; Rudolph amassed 184 passing yards.

 

Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers -3.5

Standard Tipping Rules (Betting Prices Game)
  • Each winning tip score equals the price of the team at the time the tip is submitted as appearing on your tipping screen.
  • If no prices are available, the score for a winning tip will equal the starting price of the winning team at Sportsbetting.com.au
  • For NRL tipping - If the match is a draw at full time, tip score equals the price of the team awarded for selecting the winner of the golden point play off. If it is still a draw after golden point no points are awarded for the game.
  • For AFL, Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Rugby competitions - No points are awarded for drawn games.
  • For A-League/EPL you must select the 'Draw' to receive the price when the match results in a draw. If you select a team in a drawn match you will receive no points for the match.
  • A score margin is required to be entered for 1 game within the round.
Margin Games
  • For one match in each round you will be required to enter a margin. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire competition if the tipping scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better.
  • Calculating margins

    If the team you tip wins the match, your margin score is the difference between the actual margin in the Full Time Score that the team you tipped won by, and the margin your entered. For example if you tipped Australia

    Full time score Australia 54 vs Italy 6
    Margin entered 36
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 - 36 = 12

    If the team you tipped loses the match, your margin score is the actual margin plus the margin entered. For example if you tipped Italy:

    Full time score Australia 54 vs Italy 6
    Margin entered 6
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 + 6 = 54

  • If a tipper does not submit a tip for a game they are awarded the away team.
  • If a tipper does not submit any tips for a round then they do not receive points for the first winning tip in that round.
  • Tips can be entered up to advertised start time for the game.
  • After the advertised start time has passed tips for the game cannot be entered.
  • Tips cannot be changed after they are submitted.
  • For competitions where tippers enter a margin, the margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the overall competition if the tip scores are equal. For example if two tippers share 1st place on 100 points, the tipper with the lowest margin score will be the winner.
  • If the margin feature is not turned on and tippers have equal tipping scores, or if tippers have equal tipping scores and equal margins, the winner will be awarded using a count back system where the tipper who led most recently will be awarded the prize.
  • If tippers cannot be split using these methods then the prize will be shared.
Standard Tipping Rules (Points Game)
  • Picks are entered for each game in a round. 1 point is awarded for picking the winner of the match.
  • A bonus 1 point are awarded for picking a perfect round.
  • For NRL picking - If the match is a draw at full time, 1 point is awarded for selecting the winner of the golden point play off. If it is still a draw after golden point no points are awarded for the game.
  • For AFL, Super Rugby and Mitre 10 Rugby competitions - If the match result is a draw, no points are awarded for picks in the match.
  • For A-League/EPL you must select the 'Draw' to receive 1 point when the match results in a draw. If you select a team in a drawn match you will receive no points for the match.
  • A margin score is required to be entered for one match in each round. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire contest if the scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better the entrant is deemed to have performed.
Score Margin Information
  • For one match in each round you will be required to enter a score margin. The margin represents the amount that you predict your selected team will win by. Your margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the entire competition if the picking scores are equal. The lower your margin score the better.

  • Calculating margins

    If the team you pick wins the match, your margin score is the difference between the actual margin in the Full Time Score that the team you picked won by, and the margin you entered. For example, if you picked New Zealand in the following scenario:

    Full time score New Zealand 54 vs Australia 6
    Margin entered 36
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 - 36 = 12

    If the team you picked loses the match, your margin score is the actual margin plus the margin entered. For example, if you picked Australia for the same scenario:

    Full time score New Zealand 54 vs Australia 6
    Margin entered 6
    Actual Margin 48
    Margin Score 48 + 6 = 54
  • If a entrant does not submit a pick for a game, they are assigned the away team as their pick for that game.
  • If a entrant does not submit any picks for a round, as a penalty, they do not receive points for their first winning pick in that round. For example, if 8 away teams win in the round that the entrant missed, then 7 points will be awarded.
  • Picks can be entered up to advertised start time for the game.
  • After the advertised start time has passed picks for the game cannot be entered or changed.
  • Picks can be changed up to the advertised start time of the game.
  • Points awarded to entrants will be aggregated at the completion of each round during the contest, and entrants will be ranked in accordance with the points they scored and their margin score for the round.

  • For competitions where entrants enter a margin, the margin score will be used to determine the winner of a round or the overall competition if the pick scores are equal. For example if two entrants share 1st place on 100 points, the entrant with the lowest margin score will be the winner.
  • If there is tip score and margin score tie-break, the winner of the round or the overall competition will be the entrant who was first to enter their picks.
  • If entrants cannot be split using these methods then the prize will be shared.
