The Steelers possessing the lowest odds in the division isn’t too surprising with the loss of long-time quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. It seems that the bookies don’t believe that the Steelers have a great chance a drafted quarterback or recently signed, Mitch Trubisky.
Still, the team has a great defense, with NFL Defensive Player of the year linebacker T.J. Watt, and All-Pro players in defensive lineman Cameron Heyward and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick that will lead the way. While the bookies, might not be high on the Steelers, a +275 bet isn’t a bad one by any metric, and could reap in good rewards if the Steelers make it back for a third consecutive season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the highest odds in the NFL to make the postseason again, with -600 to make it and +400 to not make it. The Houston Texans, conversely, have the lowest odds in the league to make the postseason, with +1000 to make it and -2000 to not make it.
