Steelers remain 6.5-point underdogs against the 49ers

The Pittsburgh Steelers season hangs in the balance after only two games. Pittsburgh sits at 0-2  and without their franchise quarterback how much longer can the Steelers hold on? This week Pittsburgh has to head west to San Francisco to take on the 49ers and if they can’t come out with a win might have to wonder what the future holds. Can the Steelers win this week?

The oddsmakers tend to think the answer is no. Looking at the betting odds, the 49ers remain 6.5-point favorites and are on a roll sitting at 2-0. The 49ers have stepped up, especially on defense this season and it seems to have really turned this team around.

On the Steelers side, the defense got an injection of talent this week when the Steelers traded for safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. But if the Steelers are going to beat the 49ers the Mason Rudolph led offense is going to have to step up.
