Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Week 16 Betting Lines

The Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to take down a huge piece of humble pie in Week 15 betting action after coming up on the short end of a two-touchdown loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Without his best playmaking wide receiver in the huddle, the disparity between the two conference frontrunners was telling with the Steelers outgained 401-163 and nearly losing the time of possession battle by 20 minutes. Russell Wilson played to a 94.5 QB rating in completing 14 of 22 passes, but only averaged 5.8 yards per pass attempt ultimately leading to Pittsburgh moving the chains on just 3 of 10 thirds down tries. If not for two Eagles turnovers and Philly only hitting paydirt on 3 of 6 red zone appearances, the final margin of victory would’ve likely been even bigger. The defeat dropped Mike Tomlin’s troops to 6-4 straight up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) the last 10 times it squared off against an NFC opponent regardless of venue. A much bigger fish to fry will be on the menu in Week 16 betting when the team heads to the “Charm City” to take on Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens with AFC North bragging rights on the line. Current action reports from the online sportsbook find NFL bettors fading the Steelers as they attempt to sweep the season rivalry for the second time in as many seasons.

With the two-game win streak by the boards, the Steelers futures odds regained value across the board. Pittsburgh’s chances of winning Super Bowl LIX fattened back up to 30-1 from 20-1, while its chances of winning the AFC jumped to +1200 from +750 behind only the Ravens (+390), Chiefs (+270), and Bills (+185). Initially 11-1 choices to win the division, Pittsburgh is now the -175 favorite, down from -210, to become the Kings of the AFC North, while its adjusted in-season win total odds held firm at 11.5 with heavier vig now on the under. The Steelers odds of making and/or missing the playoffs have been removed from the betting board after securing a bid this past weekend. Not bad for a team initially lined -210 favorites to miss the playoffs!

Pittsburgh Steelers Week 16 Matchup

On Saturday, December 21, 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Baltimore Ravens from M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD. Kickoff time is set for 4:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on FOX. The lookahead NFL Week 16 betting lines hit the board with the Steelers taking back 5-points and the Over/Under (O/U) set at 47. The number to beat has since moved to +6.5 by way of the Steelers only being supported with 50 percent of the bets and just over 10 percent of the money. Surprising when taking into consideration that Pittsburgh has owned the recent rivalry with NFL crypto bettors seeing Tomlin’s troops log wins in eight of the last 10 regular season meetings and post a 7-3 record versus the closing NFL spread. Regardless, the Steelers stand 5-3 SU and ATS on the road to date with the over paying out five times and an average of 45.4 points hitting the board. With the first meeting playing to another easy under with the 34 combined points never seriously threatening the closing 43-point O/U, total bettors have gravitated to the under for the rematch as well with the number to beat down to 45. However, it’s only been supported with 51 percent of the booked handle letting it be known some NFL bettors think points are easier to come by. T.J. Watt’s potential absence just might have something to do with that—check injury reports!

Pittsburgh Steelers Week 15 Recap

The Pittsburgh Steelers clinched a playoff berth despite a 27-13 loss and non-NFL odds cover against the Philadelphia Eagles, marking their second defeat in the last four games. Russell Wilson struggled mightily, throwing for a season-low 128 yards and one touchdown while committing a costly fumble. Without star receiver George Pickens, sidelined with a hamstring injury, the Steelers' passing attack proved to be impotent against Philly’s vastly improved secondary. Pickens, who leads the team with 55 receptions and 850 receiving yards, was sorely missed. Najee Harris managed a modest 54 rushing yards but was limited by a stout Eagles defense. Chris Boswell contributed field goals from 37 and 49 yards, setting a new Steelers single-season record with 38. T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh’s standout linebacker, exited in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury after pressuring Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Watt’s status remains uncertain ahead of next week's pivotal divisional clash with Baltimore. The Steelers’ lone touchdown came on a 9-yard pass from Wilson to tight end Pat Freiermuth. However, Wilson’s third-quarter fumble led to a 1-yard Hurts rushing touchdown, cementing Philadelphia’s lead. Pittsburgh's offense couldn’t overcome key turnovers or sustain drives, dropping the team to 0-10 in Philadelphia since 1965. Despite the loss, playoff positioning offers the Steelers a chance to regroup and keep its eye on the prize—that being coined the Kings of the AFC North.

2024 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule, Results & Record

The Rooney family has owned the Pittsburgh Steelers since 1933. Original owner Art Rooney bought the franchise after hitting a big bet on a horse race. As incredible as it sounds, the Steelers were not a success in the first four decades under Rooney’s ownership. In fact, they were a laughingstock. From 1933 through 1971, the Steelers had one playoff appearance.

In 1972 the franchise saw a dramatic turnaround that has lasted until today. Pittsburgh made the playoffs as AFC Central champions. In the 1972 AFC divisional playoffs, the Steelers beat the Oakland Raiders with the famed “Immaculate Reception.” The franchise took off with eight consecutive playoff appearances and four Super Bowl titles.

Stability is the hallmark of the Steelers. Since 1969 they have had three head coaches. Mike Tomlin has served in that role since 2007.
