Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule and Betting Lines
The Steelers schedule was released in May 2023, and DraftKings Sportsbook PA has released game lines for all of their upcoming matchups this season. Here's a look at where the point spread and moneylines currently stand for the Steelers:
After evening their record at 1-1, the Steelers can gain some separation from the rest of the AFC in the next two weeks. The Steelers are on the road against the Raiders this week and next week against the Texans, but both games are very winnable.
The Raiders are coming off a 38-10 pasting by the Bills in Buffalo, and the Texans are 0-2 following a Week 2 loss to the Colts. With the schedule getting much more difficult in the final 10 weeks of the season, the Steelers have to take advantage of some of the easier games on the schedule this month and next.
The Raiders are struggling to score almost as much as the Steelers. They are averaging 13.5 points per game.
Key Contributors Toward Steelers Super Bowl Odds
T.J. Watt has four sacks and a touchdown in the season's first two weeks. He is squarely in the discussion for NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors with Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons. Watt set the franchise record for sacks on Monday night, passing James Harrison on the all-time sacks list. Watt now has 81.5 career sacks. His 17-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter was the winning score against the Browns. Only Parsons currently has better odds of winning Defensive Player of the Year. Watt is +20000 to win NFL MVP honors.
The Steelers have a few other players in contention for postseason awards. Alex Highsmith forced the fumble that led to Watt's touchdown and returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown on the game's first play.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick left the Browns game with a chest injury, but he had six tackles and two passes defended before he exited.
Quarterback Kenny Pickett is off to a terrible start. He has three interceptions in the first two games and completed just 15 of his 30 passes against the Browns. Pickett's odds to win NFL MVP remain at +7000, the same as last week.
Receivers George Pickens (+10000), Diontae Johnson (+20000) and Allen Robinson (+13000) remain longshots to win NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors. Najee Harris is +10000 and Pickett also is +10000.
