Pittsburgh Steelers Form
Pittsburgh make the trip to Paris having won back-to-back games to improve their record to 4-2.
The Steelers enjoyed a winning start to the season as they beat Atlanta at home, 20-13, but they failed to follow that up in their road opener as they were beaten 20-3 at New England.
They responded with a big 30-27 win over division rivals Cincinnati, only to then lose their next AFC North clash as they were beaten 27-24 in Cleveland.
Pittsburgh bounced back the following week, as they climbed back above .500 with a 34-22 win over Indianapolis.
The Steelers then followed that up last weekend, as they downed the Buccaneers 26-19 in Tampa.
New Orleans Saints Form
New Orleans go into this international matchup having ended a three-game losing skid with a win that improved them to 2-4.
The Saints opened the season with a defeat, but were far from disgraced as they fell 31-30 in overtime in Detroit.
They put that behind them a week later with a 24-17 success in Baltimore, but failed to follow that up as they lost their next three games at home.
New Orleans lost 35-27 to Las Vegas, 45-24 to division rivals Atlanta and 23-13 to Minnesota in a miserable run at the Superdome.
The Saints did stop the rot last weekend though, as they held on to beat the New York Giants on the road, 34-27.
Verdict
Pittsburgh made hard work of it in Tampa, but they did get the job done and we are backing them to follow that up here.
Aaron Rodgers can have his way with a Saints defense that ranks joint worst in the league in points allowed per game and 29th in yards given up per game.
