Pittsburgh Steelers are second in the AFC North, just one win behind the Baltimore Ravens. They will be confident of taking their season record to 6-3, when hosting Detroit Lions who are still without a win this season. Their five wins so far this season have taken them to sixth overall in the AFC, so a wild card place is looking possible this season. The Steelers didn't expect to be in this position a few weeks ago. They began the new season with a win over Buffalo but then lost the next three, each by a minimum of nine points. They have turned their season around with four wins in a row, though the last three have been won by an aggregate total of just ten points. 

Detroit continue their search for a first win. They are bottom of the NFC North and already been beaten by the other teams in that division. Not surprisingly, they have the worst season record in not just the NFC but all of all the NFL teams. Detroit haven't made it to the play-offs since 2016 and they're not going to be in them this time either. Last year saw them win just five games and they'll do well to match that figure this year. They only lost to Baltimore and Minnesota by two points but there have been some heavy losses. Last week saw them go down 44-6 at home to Philadelphia and in four games this season, have conceded at least 34 points. Go for Pittsburgh to win this and overcome a -10 point spread.
