Key Matchups and Handicap: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Chicago Bears
This is the first meeting between Pittsburgh and Chicago since November 2021. Chicago has performed well in this matchup, covering the number in each of the last four meetings. The Steelers are coming off a 34-12 home win over the Bengals, but the bigger story is the possible loss of Aaron Rodgers. He is dealing with a potential wrist fracture and is listed as doubtful, meaning Mason Rudolph may be in line to start.
Chicago enters in excellent recent form at 7-1 straight up and 6-2 against the spread over its last eight games. The Bears pulled off another late miracle last Sunday when Cairo Santos drilled a 48 yard game winning field goal to beat Minnesota. Five of Chicago’s seven wins this season have been by less than a touchdown, showing a consistent ability to stay competitive in tight games.

Pittsburgh’s last three games have stayed under the total, but this matchup has ingredients for points. The Steelers began the season with an element of surprise around their new offensive structure with Rodgers. However, once opponents had film, it became clear the passing game lived almost exclusively on short routes. If Rudolph starts, the playbook could open vertically, allowing more aggressive downfield concepts. And with Rudolph and Caleb Williams both capable of mistakes, a defensive score would not be surprising.

- Chicago has covered the number in four straight meetings.
- Pittsburgh’s last three games have stayed under the total.

ATS and Total Picks: PIT vs CHI

Spread Pick — Bears vs Steelers
- Pick: Chicago Bears +2.5
- Why: Chicago is 7-1 straight up in its last eight and has covered four straight in this series. Pittsburgh may be without Aaron Rodgers, limiting offensive reliability.
Total Pick — Pittsburgh vs Chicago

Chicago Bears 24, Pittsburgh Steelers 21

Expect a competitive, higher scoring matchup compared to recent Steelers contests, with both teams finding opportunities created by aggressive defensive schemes and potential turnovers.
How to Bet Bears vs Steelers
Chicago bettors should target spreads at +2.5 or better, while Pittsburgh supporters should look for -2 or lower if Rodgers unexpectedly plays. Total bettors looking for the over should lock in anything at 44 or below before upward market movement.
