- The Eagles are a 5.5-point home favorite against the Steelers.
- The Steelers have won each of their last six Sunday games as underdogs.
- My Eagles vs. Steelers prediction is for Pittsburgh to cover the spread.
The battle for Pennsylvania takes center stage in Week 15 as the Eagles host the Steelers.Â
Philadelphia narrowly avoided defeat as 13.5-point favorites against the Panthers on Sunday, surviving 22-16. That gives the Eagles a three-game lead atop the NFC East.Â
Pittsburgh won and covered as six-point favorites on Sunday against the Browns. With the Ravens on a bye week, Pittsburgh lengthened their division lead to two games.Â

NFL Week 15 Odds: Eagles vs. Steelers
Eagles vs. Steelers Prediction
Based on Mike Tomlin’s strong record as an underdog and the Eagles’ lack of experience against good defenses, my Eagles vs. Steelers prediction is the Steelers Spread (+5.5, -110).Â
Death, taxes and betting Mike Tomlin as an underdog.Â
Tomlin is 67% ATS as an underdog in his career, including a perfect 5-0 in that spot this season.Â
The long-time Steelers head coach has dominated the NFC in that spot recently.Â
He previously won and covered against the Falcons and Commanders this season and has covered five of his last six as dogs against the NFC.Â
The way Philadelphia covers this number is by putting up a big number on the Steelers defense.Â
I don’t foresee that happening, given the lack of experience Kellen Moore’s offense owns against good defenses.Â
The Eagles, entering Sunday’s game against Carolina, ranked 11th in offensive DVOA. However, that record came against the easiest set of opposing defenses, per ftnfantasy.com.Â
Think back to Sunday’s game against Carolina. Did the Eagles ever feel like their offense blew your mind? I’d argue no.Â
Philadelphia averaged only 5.2 yards per play against (arguably) the league’s worst defense.Â
Now they get a Steelers team eighth in defensive DVOA, albeit against the 21st-hardest schedule of opposing offenses.Â
If the game proves low-scoring, I question how the Eagles cover through two key numbers against a team that has stayed within this margin in all but one game this year.Â
Grab the Steelers so long as they remain available at +4.5 or higher on Sunday in Philly.Â
