ATLANTA — The Pittsburgh Steelers have opened as narrow favorites to win their Week 2 road game against the Denver Broncos, after winning as road underdogs against the odds in Week 1.

The Steelers went off as three-point underdogs against the Falcons on Sunday, but left Atlanta with an 18-10 victory. Meanwhile, the Broncos lost 26-20 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks. They did cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs.
The Steelers and Falcons went under their total (41.5) and would have gone under this week’s number, as well. The Broncos and Seahawks went over their total (42) and would have gone over next week’s mark.
The Steelers were 10-8 against the spread last season and had 11 games go under their total and seven over. The Broncos were 6-10-1 against the spread and had nine games go under and eight over.
The game could be a revenge game for Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson, if he plays. Wilson spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons with Denver before his release this spring. But he missed Sunday’s game against the Falcons with calf tightness, and it’s not clear if he’ll be able to suit up next week.
Wilson was replaced by Justin Fields, who was 17 of 23 for 156 yards against the Falcons. He did not have a touchdown or a turnover.
