On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off an overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals despite being 6.5-point underdogs. The win was unexpected and turned out to be one of the most exciting games of the weekend.
This week the Steelers come home and take on the New England Patriots. New England dropped their season opener against the Miami Dolphins in pretty glorious fashion losing 20-7.
Nevertheless, the oddmakers at Tipico sportsbook aren’t sold on the Steelers in any way. They only have the Steelers as 1.5-point favorites at home for this week’s game.
Some of this has to do with the injury situation in Pittsburgh. Star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is out with a torn pectoral and starting running back Najee Harris is dealing with a foot injury and his status for the game is very much up in the air.
What is your prediction for this week’s game? Will the Steelers move to 2-0 or will the injuries be too much to overcome? Let us know in the comments.
