Steelers vs. Buccaneers prediction & best bet

Over 39.5 (-110 via FanDuel)

Oddsmakers have pushed the lowest total of Week 6 too low.

After a low-scoring start to the season, the last three Steelers games have averaged over 54 points. Pittsburgh's quick-hit, YAC-dependent passing game is working right now. Aaron Rodgers has three straight games with at least three touchdown passes.

Meanwhile, Bucs rookie QB Jalon Daniels has looked competent since he took over the offense. He will be able to put some drives together against a depleted Steelers secondary.

The best sports betting sites are mostly aligned on a 39.5-point total, with FanDuel offering the top value at -110 odds on the Over.

📡 SBR Edge

The Steelers rank fifth in total takeaways, while the Buccaneers have the fifth-most turnovers lost.

Aggressive Steelers D will force rookie QB mistakes

Daniels took care of the ball last week against an impotent Cowboys defense, but I expect this opportunistic Steelers unit to force a couple of key mistakes from the undrafted rookie, even if Pittsburgh gives up some yards.

The Steelers will win both the turnover battle and the game in Tampa on Sunday.

Score prediction: Steelers 23, Buccaneers 20
