The Week 2 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks features two teams that had different results in Week 1.
The Steelers started off their season on the right foot with a 34-32 win over the New York Jets. Pittsburgh no doubt has some things to after poor performances from the offensive line and defense, but the early return on quarterback Aaron Rodgers was very encouraging.
The same cannot be said for quarterback Sam Darnold and the Seahawks' offense, which struggled mightily against the San Francisco 49ers en route to a 17-13 loss.
This will be the 22nd matchup between Seattle and Pittsburgh all time. The Steelers have an 11-10 record versus the Seahawks, including a 1-0 mark in the postseason. Over the last seven, the Steelers have won five of times, although the two teams have split the last four meetings, with Pittsburgh winning the previous two.
Here's a look at who experts are picking for this Week 2 contest between the Steelers and Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday.
Steelers vs. Seahawks picks, predictions
Vinnie Iyer, Sporting News: Steelers 27, Seahawks 14
Iyer: "The Steelers are looking locked in with Aaron Rodgers at the controls of their diverse offense. The Seahawks looked rough up front for Sam Darnold and another run-heavy game plan won't work well on the road against a rebound-minded attack defense. Seattle won't feel it in this long road trip as coach Mike Macdonald falls to his old Ravens' rivals."
Bill Bender, Sporting News: Steelers 26, Seahawks 19
Bender: "The Seahawks are a tempting underdog here knowing they were 7-1 S/U on the road under Mike Macdonald last season. Sam Darnold, however, will have to take more chances against the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers finished 2 of 3 for 39 yards and a TD on passes of 20 yards or more. He's still getting comfortable, and the defense will need to get more than one sack this week. We just can't see Pittsburgh losing the home opener in this spot."
Jeremy Cluff, Arizona Republic: Steelers 21, Seahawks 20
Cluff: "Aaron Rodgers had four touchdown passes in his Steelers debut against the New York Jets. Who saw that coming? Touchdowns will be harder to come by against Seattle, but Pittsburgh will move to 2-0 in a thriller."
Pete Prisco, CBS Sports: Steelers 26, Seahawks 19
Prisco: "The Steelers are playing the home opener against a Seattle team that lost a tough one to the 49ers last week. Aaron Rodgers looked good against the Jets and I think that will carry over here. The Steelers will go to 2-0 as Rodgers plays well and DK Metcalf does some damage to his former team."
