The Packers and Steelers are set to face off at Acrisure Stadium, with both teams expected to give some of their starting players limited playing time. Green Bay is considered a slight road favorite, leading by 1.5 points on the spread.

The qualifying wagers must have minimum odds of -200. The FanCash rewards will be equivalent to the amount wagered, with a daily maximum of $100 FanCash. This promotional FanCash expires seven days after issuance.
According to the New York Post's expert analysis, Green Bay's coach Matt LaFleur is inclined to play his starters, with quarterback Jordan Love anticipated to lead the offense for approximately one quarter. This could be significant against a Steelers team potentially relying on rookie quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar, who have not yet thrown a pass in an NFL game. The analysis also noted that former Steelers coach Mike McCarthy's teams averaged 19.1 points per exhibition game during his tenure with the Cowboys, suggesting limited offensive output in preseason matchups.
