Steelers vs. Eagles Predictions For NFL Week 15, Sunday 12/15

Given these teams are in different conferences, they don’t square up all that often. The last time they played was in 2022 when the Eagles won 35-13. Their prior two games were in 2020 and 2016. These are obviously very different teams from then so that doesn’t give us much info to go by.

The Eagles only have one loss on the season - to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It’s kind of interesting to note that another one loss team, the Detroit Lions, also lost their only game to Baker Mayfield and company. The Steelers dropped games to the Browns, Cowboys, and Colts but have won their other 10.

 

 

 

Pittsburgh Steelers: The Russell Wilson Era

Arthur Smith’s offenses have always been unique. While some coaches like Sean McVay lean heavily into their top 11 guys, the Steelers prefer a rotation. Outside of George Pickens, the Steelers rarely have a wide receiver, tight end, or running back playing more than 80% of the snaps. And they’ll be without Pickens this week making it even more of a team effort. 

The Steelers defense and special teams have been a huge part of their success thus far. The Steelers currently rank 8th overall in defensive DVOA per FTN Fantasy and they are a top five team in points allowed. On special teams Chris Boswell has been as reliable as they come with multiple game winning performances. Mike Tomlin joked last month that he is “tired of giving him game balls”. 

 

 

 

Philadelphia Eagles: The Saquon Barkley Show

The Eagles pass-catchers have dealt with injuries at various stages. AJ Brown missed time early on and DeVonta Smith has missed three games as well, including weeks 12 and 13. Now tight end Dallas Goedert has been on IR. Luckily for them, the heroics of Saquon Barkley and the nearly unstoppable “Tush Push” have made life easy on the Eagles offense.

It hasn’t all been offense though as the Eagles defense has been great as well. Our friends at FTN grade them out as the fourth best unit. They’ve been especially tough on pass-catchers on the outside with their pair of great cornerbacks.

Steelers vs. Eagles: Philadelphia Eagles -5.5 (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

Mike Tomlin is one of the best coaches in the league. It isn’t always pretty but he finds a way to get it done. This week unfortunately might just be too tall of an order for his Steelers. They’ve been relying heavily on the run but the Eagles are one of the best teams at stopping it. With no George Pickens they are dangerously thin at wide receiver. Mike Williams has capped out at about a third of the snaps at most since being acquired and Van Jefferson is more of a journeyman than a WR1. Pat Freiermuth has a 91.7% catch rate per Pro Football Focus yet they have not leaned on him heavily for some reason.

On the flip side, the star power of Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Saquon Barkley is just too strong. Dallas Goedert hasn’t been a huge factor and Grant Calcaterra is a reasonable fill-in. Beyond the Goedert injury, the Eagles are fairly healthy. Despite ~75% of the public money being on the Steelers to cover, I think the “Team of Destiny” in Pittsburgh ends up being humbled this week without their star wideout.
