The Pittsburgh Steelers are soaring after a 38-7 win over rival Cleveland Browns. The undefeated Steelers are 5-0 for the first time since 1978. That was the year the Black and Yellow finished 14-2 and beat the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl XIII.
Some might think that the main event in Nashville is the last (ever? who knows in the year 2020) presidential debate on Thursday. NFL bettors know the real action happens a few days later, on Sunday. The Steelers will face off with the one other unbeaten AFC team when they visit the Tennessee Titans. This game was originally scheduled for Week Four, but a Titans COVID-19 outbreak moved it to Week Seven.
The Steelers opened as 1.5-point favorites at PA online sportsbooks, but the line has flipped. The Steelers are now 1.5-point underdogs against the Titans, with the over/under set at 51.5.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans betting preview
The anticipated early-season divisional matchup against the Browns turned out lopsided. The Steelers led 24-7 at halftime, and their defense stifled the Browns and Baker Mayfield, who threw two interceptions. James Conner rushed for 101 yards and one touchdown.
Chase Claypool and Benny Snell chipped in with rushing TDs. The Steelers staunch D held the Browns to 220 total yards. However, they lost linebacker/defensive play caller Devin Bush for the year with a torn ACL.
Here’s a look at how the Steelers defense ranks after five games:
- Second: Yards allowed per game (285.2)
- First: Sacks (24)
- Second: Interceptions (8)
The Titans pulled out a 42-36 overtime win over the Houston Texans last week. They racked up 601 total yards of offense, powered by Derrick Henry (212 YDS, 2 TDs) and Ryan Tannehill (364 YDS, 2 TDs). The Steelers defense will face a formidable Titans offense that ranks second in total yards per game (422) and points per game (32.8).
