OUR PREDICTIONS
TOM SILVERSTEIN
This will be a good test of whether the Packers plan to finish out this season in a positive way or are going to mail it in. Last week, the latter wasn’t evident even though the score reflected it. This week, they need to play with an attitude and at least show they have some fight left in them. Steelers 31, Packers 21
PETE DOUGHERTY
Pittsburgh probably is the most complete and maybe the best team in the NFL. The Steelers have the No. 2 scoring defense, a top quarterback (Ben Roethlisberger), a premier running back (Le’Veon Bell) and one of the league’s best receivers (Antonio Brown). Coach Mike McCarthy’s team has its hands full. Steelers 27, Packers 17
MICHAEL COHEN
This game has blowout written all over it. Brett Hundley might find marginal success against the Steelers, but there certainly won’t be enough progress to win the game. This one shouldn’t be close. Steelers 34, Packers 10
RYAN WOOD
The Packers’ defense has struggled against the best quarterbacks on its schedule this season, and Ben Roethlisberger is the best quarterback on the Packers’ remaining schedule. The Steelers will be playing with the league’s No. 2-ranked scoring defense inside their own building, as well as the NFL’s No. 3-ranked pass defense. You saw last week how much Brett Hundley struggled against the Ravens’ second-ranked pass defense. Steelers 31, Packers 10
AARON NAGLER
The Packers are overmatched in every aspect of the game heading in to Pittsburgh on Sunday night. It will take one of the greatest coaching jobs of Mike McCarthy’s career to come out of this game with a victory. Steelers 38, Packers 13
