This is a 9* SUNDAY TOTAL on the OVER Hawks/Steelers.

This is a big opportunity for the Steelers, as Seattle's defense is terriblet this season and it comes to town without star QB Russell Wilson.

Wilson is out with injury, meaning that Geno Smith gets the call under center for the Hawks today. He filled in for Wilson after he went down in last week's loss, going 10/17 for 131 yards with a touchdown and interception. With a full week to prep, I like Smith to be a lot better here today.

But as mentioned, the Hawks have allowed over 450 yards per game over their last four.

The Steelers' offense finally woke up as well in last week's 27-19 win over the Broncos to snap a three-game losing streak.

Note that Pittsburgh has seen the total go OVER in eight of its last 11 after a SU/ATS victory in which it scored 25 or more points in as well.

Look for this total to fly OVER sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
