A Closer Look At The 2017 NFL Betting Guide And Picks For Pittsburgh Steelers

  

Week 3

Steelers (-5.5) at BearsAnalysis: Okay, so this won’t be a very competitive matchup, but at least you’ll get an easy ATS cover as Pittsburgh Steelers completely embarrasses a Bears team that puts the ‘D’ in dysfunction.Pick: Pittsburgh 31 Chicago 14

Week 6

Steelers at Chiefs (-1.5)Analysis: Now, this Week 6 matchup should be very revealing about just how good the Steelers are in 2017. Kansas City has an elite defense and a solid, but not very explosive offense. The Steelers went 5-3 ATS on the road last season while the Chiefs went a polar opposite 3-5 ATS at Arrowhead Stadium. Back Ben Roethlisberger and company to get the road win and ATS cover as they put just enough points on the board to make a win stand up.Pick: Steelers 24 Chiefs 21

Week 7

Bengals at Steelers (-7)Analysis: The Bengals (6-9-1) were a mess this past season, but I like them to cover the spread as touchdown road dogs simply because their AFC North division matchups are more often than not, decided by a field goal.Pick: Pittsburgh 20 Cincinnati 17

Week 12

Packers at Steelers (-3)Analysis: The Steelers may have some legitimate Super Bowl hopes, but so do Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. With this game going down in Week 12, I say Rodgers and the Pack are on their collective, ‘run-the-table’ A’ games to get the outright road win and accompanying ATS cover.Pick: Green Bay 28 Pittsburgh 24

Week 14

Ravens at Steelers (-6)Analysis: The Ravens are the NFL betting pick to get the ATS cover in this AFC North divisional rivalry if only because they still have a very good defense. Still, the Steelers get the straight-up win to take another step toward their second straight division title.Pick: Pittsburgh 20 Baltimore 17

Week 15

Patriots (-1.5) at SteelersAnalysis: This game represents Pittsburgh’s most important – and revealing – matchup of the season. While the Steelers will be playing at home in this contest, I just don;t see Tom Brady and the Patriots being off their game this late in the regular season. The Pats, as much as I hate to say it, get the outright win!Pick: New England 28 Pittsburgh 24
