In an exciting NFL Week 8 clash, the Green Bay Packers are favored to win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Jordan Love at the helm, the Packers are predicted to cover the -3 point line and continue their scoring streak, as they've done in five of their last six games. The Pittsburgh defense, notably weak in the secondary, will be tested by Green Bay’s offense, particularly Josh Jacobs, who has been pivotal with 7 touchdowns in his last five games. Betting trends suggest confidence in Green Bay's ability to exploit Pittsburgh's defensive vulnerabilities.

Aaron Rodgers against his old team and Jordan Love out to prove the Packers made the right call. Green Bay are predicted to win the game and cover the -3 line as the road favourites led by Love’s passing and the continued red-zone dominance of Josh Jacobs.

The Packers have scored 27+ pts in 5 of their last 6 and continue to generate explosive plays despite Love having a quieter passing game last week v Arizona. He threw for just 179 yards but remained efficient and well-protected, he has been sacked just once in each of his last 3 games. The Steelers pass defence, ranked 31st allow 258 yards per game and have been routinely exposed by top receivers this season.

Josh Jacobs remains the engine of the attack, despite battling through illness last week, he scored 2 TD’s and has 7 scores in his last 5 games. He is tipped to be active again on the ground as well as through the air with Pittsburgh having given up 100+ rush yards and a TD to opposing RB1’s in back to back weeks.

The Steelers are coming off a deflating loss to the Bengals last weekend despite Rodgers throwing 4 TD’s. Their defence has allowed 30+ pts 4 times this season and have struggled to pressure opposing QB’s. 

Take Green Bay to win and cover on the road. Jordan Love will have time to pick apart this struggling Pittsburgh secondary, while Josh Jacobs continues his scoring streak and should easily surpass his receiving yard mark in a game that could get away from the Steelers early.

  • Green Bay have scored 27+ points in 5 of 6 games and are averaging 26.3 PPG (7th in the NFL).
  • Jordan Love has attempted 29+ passes in every game this season and faces a defence allowing 108.0 opponent passer rating.
  • The Steelers rank 31st in passing yards allowed (258 per game) and have allowed three or more passing TDs in consecutive games.
  • Josh Jacobs has scored 7 TDs in his last 5 games and gone over 9.5 receiving yards in 4 of his past 5.

Green Bay Packers Form


Green Bay extended their unbeaten streak to three games after a gritty 27-23 road win over Arizona. The offence wasn’t flashy but remained efficient, with Jordan Love completing 18 of 29 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown, while Josh Jacobs powered in two short scores.

The Packers’ defence continues to be one of the best in the league against the run, ranking 2nd overall, allowing just 76 yards per game. Linebackers Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary combined for four sacks last week, helping Green Bay secure top spot in the NFC North at 4-1-1.

Pittsburgh Steelers Form


Pittsburgh fell 33-31 to the Bengals in a high-scoring divisional clash that exposed their defence once again. Aaron Rodgers threw for 249 yards and four touchdowns, but a pair of interceptions and the inability to close out drives in the second half proved costly.

The Steelers have now allowed 30+ points in three of their last five games, and their pass defence continues to be a liability. Despite boasting edge threats like T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig, Pittsburgh’s secondary has been routinely beaten by deep balls, giving up over 340 yards to Joe Flacco and 279 to Jacoby Brissett in back-to-back outings.
