5 minPackers vs. Steelers Prediction, Pick, Odds: Which Offense Can Earn Some Momentum on Sunday?
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 5-3 on the season. However, they haven't played as well as the record might indicate.
The Steelers have scored just over 16 points per game while allowing over 20 points per game. Still, they're 5-3 and have a chance at a playoff spot this year.
Meanwhile, they'll take on the Green Bay, who have also struggled offensively. In Green Bay's first season with Jordan Love, the offense has averaged 20 points per game.
That's led them to a 3-5 record in the first half of the season.
So, which offense can we trust more on Sunday?
Here are our picks, predictions, and odds for Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers.

Packers vs. Steelers Prediction
Last weekend, the Green Bay Packers finally added a win against a banged-up Los Angeles Rams team that didn't have Matthew Stafford.
The Packers scored their typical 20 points but only allowed three points in a 20-3 win. Still, 20 points won't win many football games.
The offense hasn't scored more than 20 points in any of their last five games.
Jordan Love and the passing game haven't even earned 200 yards passing this year. Meanwhile, the run game has just over 100 yards per game. Aaron Jones is back on schedule and has been helpful to this team.
But until the passing game gets figured out with Love, the Packers will struggle to stay consistent on offense.
The Steelers have one of the most dynamic pass rushes in the NFL. It'll be a long day for Green Bay if they force Love into mistakes or third-and-longs.
On the other hand, the Steelers have averaged under 200 yards passing and just 90.5 yards per game on the ground this year. But realistically, Kenny Pickett and the Steelers still have more to give on the offensive end.
Pickett has Diontae Johnson and George Pickens, who can go up and make plays. The Packers don't really have any reliable weapons. Christian Watson hasn't even had a game with at least five catches as the No. 1 receiver on the team.
The Steelers have given up nearly 245 yards per game in the air this season. But I don't think Love is a threat to Pittsburgh's secondary.
I'll take a chance with the at Steelers -3.
