One of two potential Super Bowl LIX previews set to go in Week 15 betting action takes NFL bettors to the Linc in the City of Brotherly Love where the Philadelphia Eagles will look to extend their win streak to 10 against a Pittsburgh Steelers outfit that would love nothing more than to halt the run. Mike Tomlin’s troops won a second straight last week by avenging their Thursday night loss to the Cleveland Browns from a few weeks prior, while Nick Sirianni’s squad escaped with a 22-16 non-covering win at home against what proved to be a feisty claw of Carolina Panthers. PROLINE+ opened the NFL odds for this non-con throw down with the Eagles laying 5-points and the total lined 45.5. The number to beat fell as low as -4 before jumping back up to -5.5 with a bulk of the wagering interest going the way of Pittsburgh plus the points. A healthy 65+ percent of the total bets forced a market correction down to 42.5 regardless of the money booked around even.

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Same Game Parlay:

Before I get into the breakdown of how I’m attacking this matchup, I first want to send my gratitude out to Mike Tomlin and his coaching staff for allowing me to cash in on the over of what I handicapped as being a laughable 8-game season win total. For one reason or another, linemakers just continue to doubt his ability to coach this team to wins regardless of 2024-25 already going in the books as the 19^th straight time the Steelers didn’t play to a losing season. With that out of the way, I think Pittsburgh is up against it on a number of fronts this week.

For starters, it enters this tilt having run up against three straight losing teams that for all intents and purposes won’t be playing with anything on the line come January. It can be argued that Cincinnati makes an insane run to qualify for the second season, but I just don’t foresee it coming to fruition. On top of that, it took Pittsburgh putting 44 points on the board to get out of Paycor Stadium with the win in tow. Sorry, but Russell Wilson and Co. aren’t coming anywhere close to the 500+ yards it needed to beat Cincy by six against an Eagles defense that I’d die on a hill supporting as being the best the league currently has to offer.

Another reason I foresee a long day playing out for the visitors is due to the defense’s recent inability to stop the run. Sure, the overall stats show the Steelers ranked No. 4 overall against opposing ground games in allowing just north of 91 yards per game and 4.1 yards per carry (#6). While Cam Heyward and his mates just bottled up Nick Chubb in the rematch, the prior five weeks saw him and his mates serve up 70 and a score to Chase Brown, 59 and 2 TD to Chubb, 65 and 1 to Derrick Henry, 44 yards and 2 TD to Austin Ekeler, and 145 yards and a score to Tyrone Tracy. See where I’m going here?

The Steelers can and will be run on in this spot against an Eagles offense that sports the No. 1 ranked rushing attack in the NFL that’s buoyed by a pair of electric runners in Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts. With the former pretty much getting a week off against Carolina, he still ran for 124 yards on his 20 totes of the rock upping his yearly total to 1,623 rushing yards that has him on pace to set NFL history with a month’s worth of games remaining. Fighting tooth and nail with Josh Allen for MVP accolades and just watching the latter go HAM in Tinseltown last week, I’m expecting a huge showing for No. 26 that allows for the homebased Eagles to run away and hide against what I believe to be a vastly overrated Steelers outfit.

Wilson isn’t likely to have a fun day at the office either running up against an Eagles secondary that’s locked down opposing passing attacks to the tune of 178.5 yards per game (#2). With Jalen Carter also readily able to limit both Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren on the ground, I foresee him forcing the issue. With it likely George Pickens misses this game as well due to a balky hamstring, I could see Wilson forcing the issue to a lesser cast of pass catchers creating opportunities for Philly’s defense to come up with a few takeaways that allows for the home team to get ahead of the NFL spread and stay there. In my opinion, this has statement game written all over it!
