Betting Trends Pittsburgh Steelers vs Detroit Lions

Updated:Dec 21, 2025 1:37 AM EST

The upcoming NFL showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions on December 21, 2025, at Ford Field in Detroit, MI, promises an exciting display of football strategy and skill. This Sunday football game will be broadcast on CBS, giving fans a prime viewing opportunity. The Detroit Lions, holding a home record of 5-2 and a 4-3 ATS home record, face off against the Steelers, who have a 3-3 away record and a 2-4 ATS away record. The Lions are favored by 7 points with a total points line set at 52, suggesting a moderately high-scoring game.

Starting quarterbacks Jake Bates for the Lions and Mason Rudolph for the Steelers will be central to the game's outcome. Detroit's passing offense averages 248.8 yards per game, while Pittsburgh's passing defense allows 242.4 yards, indicating a closely matched aerial battle. On the ground, the Lions average 131.1 rushing yards against the Steelers' 120.9 rushing yards allowed, suggesting Detroit may have a slight edge in the run game. However, Pittsburgh's defense is known for its aggressive pass rush, which could challenge Detroit's pass protection, ranked lower in yards per play.

Detroit's recent offensive output includes a 34-41 loss to the Rams and a 44-30 win over the Cowboys, showing their ability to score but also susceptibility to high-scoring games. The Steelers, coming off a 28-15 win against the Dolphins, have shown resilience and scoring ability. The odds favor Detroit at -335 moneyline and -7 point spread, while Pittsburgh sits at +265 moneyline and +7 points, reflecting the expected competitiveness of this game.

Betting trends reveal both teams have a balanced ATS record this season, with the Lions at 7-7 and Steelers also at 7-7. Bettors should consider the impact of injuries, including questionable statuses for Detroit's Glasgow and Pittsburgh's Andrus, which could influence line play. The last matchup on August 24, 2024, saw the Lions edge out the Steelers 24-17 in a preseason game, a factor that may influence betting insights.
