Steelers vs. Seahawks preview: Predictions, odds, how to watch Sunday's game

The penultimate week of the 2023 NFL season is almost here, and there are still some very important games to play.

On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks (8-7) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7) in a matchup between two teams in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Seattle is in a good spot to secure one of the final spots in the NFC with a win at home. Pittsburgh still would need some things to break its way to make the playoffs, even with a win, and risk significantly diminishing its odds with a loss.

Jordan Mendoza writes, "Seahawks 21, Steelers 20... Seattle is picking up momentum at the right time after it looked like things were heading south. Pittsburgh looked great last week in its must-win game, but the offense isn't able to be as explosive against a solid secondary that leads the Seahawks to another win."
