The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) face the Miami Dolphins (3-3) on the road for the Sunday night matchup in Week 7. Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium (NBC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Steelers vs. Dolphins odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Steelers snapped a 4-game losing streak last week with a 20-18 home win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. QBs Kenny Pickett — who exited in the 3rd quarter for concussion protocol — and Mitch Trubisky'each had a touchdown pass. Meanwhile, the defense held the Bucs to 4-for-14 on third-down plays.
The Dolphins have lost 3 straight games after starting the season 3-0. The offense has disappeared. After averaging 27.7 points per game during the 3-0 start, they’ve averaged just 16.0 PPG in the losing streak. Most of the decline can be attributed to QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion protocol) sitting the last 2.5 games after getting injured in the 2nd quarter of streak’s 1st loss — at Cincinnati on a Thursday night. The good news is that he’s expected to play Sunday vs. Pittsburgh.
