The Atlanta Falcons will look to gain ground in the NFC South race when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13 NFL action. The Steelers enter off an exciting 24-17 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday. Running backs Najee Harris and Benny Snell each scored a rushing touchdown.

Meanwhile, the Falcons fell just short against the Washington Commanders in a 19-13 Week 12 loss. Quarterback Marcus Mariota threw an interception with seconds remaining on the game clock to seal the deal. Wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus paced the offense with 91 receiving yards on 5 catches.

Updated (Sunday, Dec. 4, 11:50 a.m. EST): The odds flipped in this matchup. Pittsburh was originally the 1-point underdog, but is now a 1-point road favorite. That's also reflected in the moneyline while the over/under fell to 42.5 points.

Steelers vs Falcons Prediction & Pick

The Falcons' playoff hopes are dwindling at this point in the season and they desperately need a win. They run into a nightmare matchup, though. Atlanta has posted the second-highest rushing play percentage in the NFL (56.3%), but Pittsburgh has posted the eighth-best rush defense DVOA rating.

If the Falcons are forced to rely on the passing attack, they could be in trouble. Atlanta has posted a QB sacked percentage of 8.91%, which ranks 29th in the NFL. Going up against the likes of TJ Watt and Cameron Heyward is a scary thought for Mariota as well as the pass-blockers in front of him.

The Steelers are 12-1-1 in their last 14 games against the Falcons, so I like Pittsburgh here.

Final Score Prediction: Steelers: 23 | Falcons: 20
