Sunday’s Steelers vs Rams matchup is your classic offense vs defense battle. Pittsburgh has been held to 17 points or less in three of their five games this season (3-2) but used their elite defense to fuel a 17-10 victory over Baltimore last time out. L.A. brings the #7 ranked total offense in the NFL (367.0 ypg) into this meeting while trying to improve on a disappointing 1-2 home record.
Before Betting on Steelers vs Rams Week 7
The Rams have a potent passing attack – almost by necessity considering they are down to mid-week signees at running back following the most recent injuries to Kyren Williams and Ronnie Rivers. So the Steelers know what Los Angeles is going to do on Sunday – the question just becomes if they can stop it which might not be easy as Cooper Kupp seems like he’s 100% again following 7 catches for 148 yards in last week’s 26-9 victory over Arizona.
The Steelers defense might actually be a bit overrated even after holding two of their last three opponents to 18 points or less. When you look at the numbers Pittsburgh ranks 30th in the NFL in yards allowed (389.4), and are 25th vs. the pass where the Rams especially excel.
If L.A. does get their offense going, this one could turn ugly because the Steelers offense poses no risk right now. Pittsburgh got three field goals and a safety as part of their 17-10 win over the Ravens and QB Kenny Pickett is completing just 59.7% of his passes this season with 5 TDs to 4 INTs. Pittsburgh is the 3rd lowest scoring team in the NFL at just 15.8 points/game.

Steelers vs Rams Week 7 Prediction & Pick
While this may look like a classic offense vs defense matchup, the Rams are actually quite adept at defense themselves ranking 13th in the NFL in total yards allowed and 11th in points/game surrendered. L.A. is 3-3, but their losses have come to the Eagles, Bengals, and 49ers who nobody would be surprised if any of them were Super Bowl winners this year. Rams big.
