In terms of the QB positions, two of the most polarizing teams are the Atlanta Falcons with the Tua Tagovailoa/Michael Penix dynamic (Tua is the starter) and the Pittsburgh Steelers with the intrigue that Aaron Rodgers always garners. Having the two matched up with one another also makes things interesting given that preseason expectations are similar, which is a season hovering around .500. Of course, they’ll both be going for far more than mediocrity, and so are we with a best bet from our Falcons vs. Steelers predictions!

🔥 Falcons vs. Steelers Predictions for NFL Week 1, Sunday, 9/13

If you had the luxury of drafting Bijan Robinson for your fantasy teams this offseason, then you’re likely eager for things to get underway. As for overall Falcons fans, they certainly have other things to worry about, namely the aforementioned QB situation. Tua and Penix being the options are a significant reason as to why the Falcons vs. Steelers odds clearly favor Pittsburgh.

That said, there wasn’t anyone on the Steelers that was drafted in fantasy football even remotely as high as Bijan Robinson or Drake London. In fact, there were likely plenty of fans preferring to take Kyle Pitts over any Pittsburgh player, which also means that just as many fans are still willing to back Atlanta with their Falcons vs. Steelers predictions.

The issue is that teams exploited the Pittsburgh defense through the air rather than on the ground last season (fourth-most passing yards per game allowed), but can we trust Atlanta to do so? We know that the weapons are there; they just need to be able to distribute the ball. So, let’s see where the best value lies by getting into the best bet from our top Falcons vs. Steelers predictions for Week 1!

🏅 Falcons vs. Steelers Expert Pick: Drake London Over 60.5 Receiving Yards (59.5% at Novig)

We’re going to be taking the positive part of the conflicting concept that is the untrustworthiness of Tua and the poor pass defense in Pittsburgh. Speaking of that secondary, we have to note that both Jalen Ramsey and Jaquan Brisker are entering the season less than 100%, and even DeShon Elliott on IR helps our Falcons vs. Steelers predictions.

Look, we’re not saying Tua is MVP-caliber, but he can link up with London enough for this line. What made Tua a worthy NFL starter? His accuracy rather than his arm strength. When that faltered, his performance took a big hit, as he was working with small speedsters in Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle rather than big targets.

Not that he gets the USC product to come through for Falcons vs. Steelers picks, who is 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds. Tua doesn’t even need to have elite accuracy for him to compete and come down with passes, hence why he averaged over 75 yards per game last season. In fact, that doesn’t even do London justice.

After staying under for three games, he found his groove and had 100+ yard performances in five of six games, and he also ended the year with 78 yards and a touchdown. His longest reception prop is also a solid approach, but we’ll make the best bet from our top Falcons vs. Steelers predictions for Week 1 on Drake London over 60.5 receiving yards (59.5% at Novig).

🏉 Falcons vs. Steelers Injury Report & Latest News

The biggest Falcons vs. Steelers news as of late was the announcement of Tua Tagovailoa as the starter to begin the week. Michael Penix, Jr. still on the mend likely made that decision a bit easier for them, but while that’s a key injury, Atlanta enters the season quite healthy.

As for Falcons vs. Steelers injuries in Pittsburgh, we see the WR combo of DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman, Jr. both entering the season with questionable tags, though both are expected to be good to go. We’ll also note that secondary guys Jalen Ramsey and Jaquan Brisker also carry that same questionable tag.
