Steelers in Comfortable Spot as Underdogs vs. Seahawks

The Pittsburgh Steelers spent the Christmas holiday watching and hoping to get some needed help from around the NFL to boost their playoff hopes, but the toughest test may be their own, as the Steelers are underdogs for their must-win Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks on New Year’s Eve.

The Steelers have opened as 3.5-point underdogs at Seattle, according to odds posted late on Sunday by ESPN Bet. The Steelers are +150 on the money line and the over/under total is 41.5.

The Steelers should be comfortable as underdogs. They’ve been the underdog nine times this season, and have covered the spread in five of those nine games. Furthermore, they’ve won all five of those games outright, including last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, when they won big as three-point underdogs.

The Seahawks are 3-4 against the spread as favorites, but have lost outright just once this season when they enter the game as the betting favorite, way back on Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams.
