Steelers vs Panthers Vegas Odds & Game Preview
Carolina won their third consecutive game last weekend after a very solid 42-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers had a huge 35-7 lead in the 2nd quarter before Ryan Fitzpatrick and Co. found a way to get Tampa back into the game in the second half. However, WR Curtis Samuel found the end zone for the second time on the afternoon to preserve the victory for the home team. RB Christian McCaffrey also had a great game, rushing for two touchdowns on over 150 total yards from scrimmage. QB Cam Newton did his part as well, although much of the scoring against the Bucs was done on the ground. Newton has thrown for 1,893 yards and 15 touchdowns in his eight starts so far this season. As a whole, Carolina is currently averaging 27.5 points per game (11th) on 371.6 yards of total offense. They currently own one of the best rushing offenses in the entire NFL, averaging 143.9 yards per game (2nd overall).
Things have looked slightly above average on the other side of the ball, as the Panthers are giving up an average of 22.5 points per game (12th overall) on 344.8 total yards. They have been really good against the run, holding opponents to just 94.1 yards per game (8th overall).

RB James Conner continues to impress since taking over for LeVeon Bell, running for 706 yards and nine touchdowns in just eight games.

Free NFL Betting Prediction: Carolina +4
This is actually a pretty tough spot, as both of these teams have really been on a roll as of late. Carolina has now won five out of their last six games, although most of their success has come at home. Pittsburgh is also firing on all cylinders right now, winning four straight games while managing to hold teams to 21 points or less per game over that same time span. There are also some odd tendencies against the spread to note in this matchup : Carolina is a brutal 0-6 ATS during their last six meetings with the Steelers. However, Pittsburgh is only 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games. I certainly don’t mind the over on 51.5 in this matchup, as both teams have gone above the game total around 70% of the time so far this season.

Steelers Spread Today
I feel as if this game could go either way, so I usually tend to take the free points when it looks like the game could easily be decided by a field goal or less. The Panthers have the better record overall and are averaging just one point less per game than the Steeler on offense. McCaffrey and Conner are both underrated backs, and while there is no doubt that Roethlisberger has more receiving weapons to work with, Greg Olsen has shown how much damage he can do when he is 100% healthy. On the other side of the ball, Carolina has given up exactly one less point per game than Pittsburgh.These two teams are really evenly matched pretty much across the board, so I’ll take a shot with the road underdog.
