2020 NFL picks, score predictions for Week 7

Pittsburgh Steelers (5-0) at Tennessee Titans (5-0)

Sunday, October 25, 1PM ET

Last week, I made the mistake of picking against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They thanked me by shellacking the Cleveland Browns and moving to 5-0. Now they face off against one of the only other undefeated teams in the league, the Tennessee Titans.

Both of these clubs have had close calls this season, but continue to make plays when it matters most to keep the loss column clean. The Steelers’ offense has been sensational since the breakout of Chase Claypool, and the Pittsburgh defense is making life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. Can they maintain that trend in Week 7?

I think so. The Titans have been great as well this season, but they haven’t done it in as convincing of fashion. They’ve relied heavily on their defense to keep them alive, with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry occasionally doing their part. Mike Vrabel has his defense prepared on a weekly basis, but can they slow down Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ passing attack?

Probably not. This should be one of the best games of the season so far, with both teams putting up a good amount of points. In the end, though, the Steelers pull away in the final minutes to stay undefeated while the Titans suffer their first loss of 2020.

Prediction: Steelers win 38-30
