It’s hard to imagine a 2-4 team being a heavy favorite to any other team in the NFL but welcome to the 2019 season. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off the bye week and will begin preparations to take on the winless Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
Bet MGM has the Steelers as 14.5-point favorites to open the week. That might be a lot to wrap your head around but on some level it makes sense. The Steelers have two wins on the season. Both of which were in primetime and both of which the Steelers won handily.
The Dolphins sit at 0-6 and despite putting up a good effort last week against the Buffalo Bills seem to be floundering toward the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft. Miami also has the Steelers first-round pick after trading safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
