Power-rating comparison
Steelers–Titans is a coin flip on our numbers
There is almost nothing between these two on our numbers. The Titans rate -3.4 (29th of 32), the Steelers -0.5 (19th) — 2.9 points apart before home field, inside the error bar of any preseason rating. The split comes out 49%/51%, and this rates as the 1st-closest game of the 16 in Week 17. When the model has no opinion worth holding, the price has to supply the edge.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Titans at 6.8 wins (favored in 3 of 17) and the Steelers at 8.2 (favored in 10) — 1.4 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 13th-hardest game on the Titans' schedule and the 9th-hardest on the Steelers'.
The defense wins the headline matchup here: the Steelers grade -0.5 on that side of the ball (13th of 32) against a Titans offense at -2.5 (28th) — 2.0 points the wrong way for the offense. Going the other direction, the Steelers offense (-0.5, 21st) meets the Titans defense (-1.4, 21st), a 0.9-point gap.
Recent history, for context only: 14 regular-season meetings since 2002, 9-5 in the Steelers' favour, plus 4 playoff games. They last met in 2023: Steelers won 20-16 in November. Over their last 4 meetings the Titans are 0-4. It is not an input to the line — rosters turn over faster than series records do.
Calibration check, because a near-even number is the easiest kind to overtrust: across 3266 walk-forward games (2013-2024) the model gave a side 50-55% in 870 of them, and those sides won 52%. The Steelers at 51% are in that band. A margin that thin is why we would rather wait for a price than call it a lean.
No price exists for this game yet; KXNFLGAME-27JAN03PITTEN is not listed, and a model number is not a market number. Because the model is close to even here — 49% / 51% — the tradable window is narrow: Titans at 44c or below, Steelers at 46c or below, and a pass on everything between. On near-coin-flips the opening price usually lands inside that window, which is why most games like this end up as no-position. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.

Steelers vs Titans — frequently asked
Who is favored in Steelers vs Titans in Week 17?

Because the Titans (-3.4, 29th) and Steelers (-0.5, 19th) are only 2.9 rating points apart. The 2.5-point home-field adjustment is larger than the gap between the teams, so home field is effectively the entire margin and the split lands at 49%/51%. In games like this the model is not the deciding input — the contract price is.
