Odds from Betonline.ag 

The Lions have played really well on the season so far, but the chances of that carrying over into the regular season is most likely not going to happen. The Steelers are a team that barely were able to beat the Jaguars. Look for that type of luck to not run the same for Pittsburgh here as the Lions should be able to pull out the win in this game here and cover the spread, but the total should go under in this game here as neither offense is good enough to really be a threat.
