NFL Expert Picks, Week 13: Experts see the Steelers staying perfect vs. Washington

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Football Team will lock horns in Week 13 at Heinz Field, and the game originally scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. will be played on Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

The Steelers look to remain perfect on the season, and advance their record to 12-0 on the season, by beating Washington, but there is a lot of uncertainly surrounding the game. Ben Roethlisberger didn’t practice all week, James Conner remains out and it looks like Chris Boswell won’t be playing Sunday due to a hip injury.

With that said, time to take a look at who the NFL experts like in this inter-conference matchup...

There are some experts who give a solid explanation of their pick, and CBS’ Pete Prisco does that every week. Take a look at his pick:

The Steelers are undefeated, but they didn’t look good against the Ravens Wednesday afternoon. Now they have a tough turnaround against a rested team. Even so, I think the Steelers will limit what Washington does on offense and they find a way to pull away.

Pick: Steelers 26, Washington 13

The Sporting News also provides weekly picks. Take a look at who they like in Steelers vs. Washington:

The Steelers will be playing on a five-day week after the Tuesday game with the Ravens, and that is not an easy spot against a Washington team that had the Thanksgiving weekend off. It’s difficult to gauge how the teams will react to the preparation times, but the Steelers are still the better team at home. It’s closer than expected.

Pick: Steelers 27, Washington 20
