Pittsburgh Steelers at Carolina Panthers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 15 matchup
Steve Wilks and the Carolina Panthers (5-8) have a very real chance at making the playoffs this season, but they'll need to pick up a win at home against Mike Tomlin's Pittsburgh Steelers (5-8).
The Panthers, despite their struggles this season, own a winning record at home and will look to keep that going against a Steelers unit that has failed to string together consistent performances in 2022. The game is scheduled to kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Bank of America Stadium.

Lorenzo Reyes: Panthers 21, Steelers 20
This is a fascinating matchup. Carolina is red hot and playing far better with Sam Darnold under center. Steve Wilks has gotten the most out of this squad, just one game back of first place. The Steelers are banged up. I still think they cover.
Safid Deen: Steelers 23, Panthers 20
This one truly is a toss-up. The Steelers' defense is too talented, but they may have Mitch Trubisky starting at quarterback with Kenny Pickett (concussion) sidelined. Meanwhile, the Panthers are playing inspired football under interim coach Steve Wilks and contending for a playoff spot. I still think Pittsburgh finds a way to pull this one out.
Richard Morin: Panthers 24, Steelers 18
Injuries play a huge factor here. The Steelers could be forced to turn to Mason Rudolph at quarterback, in which case I like the Panthers a lot here. Steve Wilks' club has a 4-3 record at home, and I think that mark improves here.
