The Matchup: Steelers vs Saints in Paris
Both teams come in off Week 6 wins, and the Steelers arrive the healthier, more complete side at 4-2. Pittsburgh’s formula travels well to a neutral site: lean on the run game and let the defense set the tone. Running back Jaylen Warren has been the engine, averaging better than five yards a carry, and that matters here because New Orleans has struggled badly against the run, sitting near the bottom of the league in yards allowed per rush. If the Saints cannot slow Pittsburgh on the ground, the Steelers can control tempo an ocean away from home.
New Orleans (2-4) snapped a losing streak in Week 6 and will try to turn the Paris trip into a reset. The Saints need to win early downs and avoid the big defensive plays that have defined Pittsburgh’s season. With a short number and a total in the mid-40s, oddsmakers see a tight, situational game where field position and turnovers could decide it.
