The Pittsburgh Steelers reported to training camp on July 22 ready to start the 2021 NFL season and put the nightmare end to last year behind them. After a historic 11-0 start, the Steelers lost four of the last five regular season games. In the AFC Wild Card, the Cleveland Browns jumped out to a 28-0 lead and beat the Steelers, 48-37.
A leaner 39-year-old Ben Roethlisberger will need to be healthy especially since the Steelers have the hardest schedule in the NFL based on their opponent’s 2020 win percentage. Pennsylvania sports betting apps have the Steelers over/under win total at 8.5. for the expanded 17 game regular season
BetMGM PA Sportsbook released betting lines for Week 1 through Week 17. The Steelers are favored by oddsmakers in nine of the sixteen games listed.
