Steelers Betting Lines

Odds for Steelers games come out well in advance of kickoff. As a general rule, you’ll start to see numbers as the current week’s slate is wrapping up. When you check out the upcoming week at sportsbooks, you’ll find a listing for each game with odds for the main bet types. You’ll find something along these lines presented at betting sites, such as PointsBet online sportsbook in PA:

• Baltimore Ravens +110 +2 (-110) O 47.5 (-110)
• Pittsburgh Steelers -130 -2 (-110) U 47.5 (-110)

From left to right next to the team names are the odds and lines for the big three of NFL betting: moneyline, point spread, and Over/Under. All three wagers bring in plenty of betting volume, so you can expect to see the odds move during the week. Here’s how the bets work.

What is the Steelers Moneyline?

A simple bet in which you just have to pick which side you think will win the game. The favored side will have negative odds, while the numbers are positive for underdogs.  Eg.:

• Baltimore Ravens +110
• Pittsburgh Steelers -130

The range in between the numbers tells you how close of a matchup the oddsmakers expect. A large span points to a paper mismatch, while a really close range is almost a toss-up.

What is the Steelers Point Spread?

Oddsmakers install a spread on each game which is akin to an estimated margin of victory. You can pick the favorite minus the points or roll with the dog plus the number.

• Baltimore Ravens +2 (-110)
• Pittsburgh Steelers -2 (-110)

The side you choose has to cover the spread. For our example, Steelers bettors are looking for a victory of three points or more, while Ravens bettors need a one point loss or outright win.

Steelers Over/Under Odds (Totals)

This is a bet on the total number of points that the two teams will combine for. Sportsbooks set the bar with an estimated total, and bettors then get to pick their side.

• Over 47.5 (-110)
• Under 47.5 (-110)

Listings have the benchmark number and odds for both choices. In our example, Over bettors are looking for 48 points or more, while Under bettors will cash with 47 points or less.

How to bet Steelers props and futures

Steelers games attract tons of betting action in Pittsburgh and across the state, whether it be on the moneyline, point spread or totals. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to just betting on the outcome. There’s a whole lot more to see in the NFL betting landscape.

A pair of really popular betting markets that are definitely worth taking the time to check out are props and futures. Prop bets are kind of like side bets on game action, while futures bets take the perspective of the season as a whole.

You can find available prop bets for upcoming games by clicking through on the individual contest listings. Once you do that, you’ll see a wide range of offerings, many of which will revolve around player performances. Here are some examples.

• Total passing yards for Mason Rudolph — over/under 279.5?
• Will JuJu Smith-Schuster score a TD and have over 80 receiving yards — yes/no?
• Who will record more sacks plus tackles in the game — T.J. Watt or J.J. Watt?

Props can also be based on things from the perspective of the team or on the game as a whole. For example, you might see a prop that asks you if the Steelers will have a return TD, or one based on which side will have more rushing yards between them and their opponent.

For futures, you can find all of the available offerings under the NFL link at online betting sites in PA. There will be a wide range of markets for you to consider, many of which attract a great deal of betting volume. Here’s just a sample of what you’ll find.

• Bet on the Steelers to win the Super Bowl, conference or division.
• Over/under on team regular season win totals.
• Wager on players to win MVP, Rookie of the Year, etc.

Futures odds are released in the offseason, and they make for a great way to get a quick read on the upcoming season. Additionally, returns on these bets are potentially lucrative. There are plenty of handicappers who stay engaged with the market all year-round as a result.

Pittsburgh Steelers season in review

The Steelers finished 9-7-1, second place in the AFC North behind the Cincinnati Bengals. The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to slip into the NFL playoffs as a wild card thanks to a crazy turn of events during the last week of the NFL regular season. However, they were quickly eliminated by the Kansas City Chiefs 42-21. It ended Ben Roethlisberger’s 18-year career in Pittsburgh. Big Ben never had a losing season as the starting quarterback of the Steelers.

In his final season, the Steelers’ offense sputtered, even with the addition of rookie running back Najee Harris.

T.J. Watt led the Steelers’ defense and earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year. He led the league in sacks (22.5), tackles for loss (21) and quarterback hits (39).

Steelers head coaching history

The Pittsburgh Steelers football team trace their franchise roots back to 1933. From inception until 1969, the Steelers had made exactly one appearance in the postseason. Fortunes changed quickly in Pittsburgh once Chuck Noll was hired to take over as head coach.

Noll was the architect of what would turn out to be a dynasty in the 1970s. He set the standard, and the franchise as a whole still follows it to this very day. Remarkably, since Noll took the job, just three men have served as head coach of the Steelers.

Continuity has been a hallmark of the franchise. Team owners pick their man and stick with him, and that has been a solid formula. A look back at the coaching records of all three of the hires since 1969 serves as an emphatic confirmation.

Coach	Tenure	Regular Season	Postseason
Mike Tomlin	2007-present	145-78-1	8-8
Bill Cowher	1992-2006	149-90-1	12-9
Chuck Noll	1969-1991	193-148-1	16-8
