Fresh off beating the San Francisco 49ers as road underdogs in Week 3, the Green Bay Packers will enter Week 4 as a clear betting favorite over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Packers are 6.5-point favorites against the Steelers this week.
The two teams play at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
This will be the third time in four weeks that the Packers are a favorite in 2021. Matt LaFleur’s team is 1-1 as a favorite, with a road loss to the New Orleans Saints in Jacksonville and a home win over the Detroit Lions.
The Steelers are tough to figure out from a betting perspective to start 2021. Mike Tomlin’s team won as a road underdog in Week 1 but lost as a home favorite each of the last two weeks, including last week as a slight favorite over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Packers were a favorite of at least six points nine times in 2020. They went 8-1 straight up.
The Steelers are struggling, especially on offense. The team scored only 10 points in Week 3 and now averages only 16.7 per game, which ranks 28th in the NFL. A groin injury for standout edge rusher T.J. Watt took a little bite out of the Steelers defense against the Bengals.
The Packers scored 30 points and beat a physical 49ers defense on the road in Week 3.
