The San Francisco 49ers, (2-0 SU, 1-1 ATS, 0-2 O/U) travel to Pennsylvania to take on the red-hot Pittsburgh Steelers, (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS, 1-1 O/U) in a matchup of two of the league’s remaining undefeated teams.
The Steelers have played very well for new head coach Mike Tomlin while the Niners would appear to be quickly headed back to respectability under head coach Mike Nolan.
Here is a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my NFL Betting Free Picks:
Key 49ers Trends
The 49ers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog.
The 49ers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog.
The 49ers are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog of 3.5-10.0.

The Steelers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a S.U. win.

The Under is 6-1 in 49ers last seven games after allowing more than 350 total yards in their previous game.
The Over is 7-1-1 in Steelers last nine games after allowing less than 15 points in their previous game.
The Over is 5-1-1 in Steelers last seven games following a ATS win.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
No trends available.
Analysis: The 49ers may be 2-0 but they are ranked last in the entire NFL in total offense (31 Pass, 23 run) and have been quite lucky in winning both of their first two games, both squeakers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers on the other hand, have looked every bit as dominating in the season’s first two games than they ever did under former head coach Bill Cowher. The Steelers are ranked sixth overall in the league in offense and third overall in defense, numbers that nearly guarantee a victory every time out. Though I like the Steelers to win this game outright, something tells me that San Francisco’s 17th ranked defense will find a way to keep the score close.
