Steelers vs Seahawks Prediction: Head to Head – Spaxton School

Steelers vs Seahawks Prediction: The Pittsburgh Steelers will start as favorites to win the pre-season game against the Seattle Seahawks as per the latest predictions.

It’s time for countless riveting matchups for the NFL fans as the new season has already kickstarted with the pre-season clashes this month. The NFL pre-season is scheduled every year for 3 weeks in the month of August. It’s a great opportunity for all the teams to find the right team combination and analyze their strengths and weaknesses ahead of the regular season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to kick off their campaign by hosting the Seattle Seahawks for the pre-season game on Saturday, 13 August. The Steelers have a new set of challenges this year, especially in the absence of “Big Ben”, Ben Roethlisberger. Fans will surely pin their hopes on Najee Harris to play a major role in the upcoming season. However, he is unlikely to play in the pre-season games. The young talents, George Pickens and Calvin Austin are expected to have a good season too as the wide receivers.

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off a disappointing end to their campaign in the last season. Pete Carroll has a mighty challenge to have a formidable squad this year after trading star quarterback Russell Wilson. Many experts are already predicting the Seahawks to have an average campaign in the absence of Wilson. However, Seattle still has some good quality players in their squad. First-round tackle Charles Cross. third-round tackle Abraham Lucas, and running back Kenneth Walker III are some of the promising stars for Seattle. The Seahawks have a tough matchup against the Steelers at the Acrisure Stadium to begin the season.

Moreover, most teams do not include the key players to participate in the pre-season with an aim to avoid any risk of injury. As per the last year’s performance, the Pittsburgh Steelers are ahead of the Seattle Seahawks.
