Packers vs. Steelers odds, picks, spread, how to watch, live stream: Model reveals 2021 Week 4 NFL predictions

The Green Bay Packers will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lambeau Field on Sunday in an intriguing Week 4 matchup between two teams going in different directions. The Steelers opened their season with a big win over the Bills on the road but have looked stagnant offensively since in losses to the Raiders and Bengals the last two weeks. Meanwhile, the Packers got blown out by the Saints in Week 1 but have recovered to beat the Lions and 49ers in primetime the last two weeks.

Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET. Green Bay is listed as a six-point favorite in the latest Packers vs. Steelers odds at Caesars Sportsbook, while the over-under is 45. Sunday’s matchup can be seen live on CBS and, in select markets, streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan. Plus, you can stream on any device.

Week 4 NFL picks for Steelers vs. Packers

Before you tune in to Sunday’s Packers vs. Steelers game, you need to see the picks from SportsLine’s proven model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,900 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. It went a sizzling 24-14 on top-rated NFL picks last season, returning more than $800. The model also enters Week 4 of the 2021 season on an incredible 123-81 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Steelers vs. Packers, the model is predicting Green Bay (-6) to cover the spread at home. After producing just 22 scrimmage yards on seven touches in the blowout loss to the Saints, the Packers have made a concerted effort to get Aaron Jones more involved in the game plan and it’s paid dividends.

Jones has touched the ball 44 times in the last two weeks, producing 211 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns. Even against a stout Pittsburgh run defense, look for the Packers to get Jones involved early. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is also expected to target him out of the backfield to help facilitate touches for the fifth-year pro.

Rodgers has also been playing much better since that difficult opening week, completing 45 of his 60 pass attempts for 516 yards and six touchdowns without an interception the last two weeks. Pittsburgh is allowing 7.2 net adjusted yards per passing attempt this season (23rd in the NFL), so look for Rodgers to attack down the field. The model predicts that he throws for two touchdowns on average as the Packers cover in over 50 percent of simulations.
