Pittsburgh Steelers vs Seattle Seahawks — DeepSeek betting tip 14 September 2025.

This Week 2 matchup at Acrisure Stadium presents a classic home-field advantage scenario for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Seahawks face significant travel hurdles with a cross-country trip and a 10 a.m. Pacific Time kickoff, historically challenging for West Coast teams. Pittsburgh's defensive identity under Mike Tomlin creates major problems for Seattle's offense—T.J. Watt's pass rush should disrupt Seattle's rhythm, while Minkah Fitzpatrick patrols the secondary against a Seahawks receiving corps vulnerable to pressure. The Steelers' run-heavy offense plays perfectly to Seattle's defensive weakness: they allowed 4.5 yards per carry last season. Though Geno Smith provides explosive potential, Pittsburgh's disciplined defense forces mistakes on the road. At 1.59, the odds accurately reflect Pittsburgh's 65-70% win probability when accounting for home-field impact, travel fatigue, and defensive mismatches. Seattle's offensive line struggles against elite edge rushers make this particularly problematic in a hostile environment. Expect a low-scoring, physical game where Pittsburgh's field position control and red-zone defense prove decisive.
