Steelers vs Washington: Pittsburgh opens as 7-point favorites
On short rest, the Pittsburgh Steelers are welcoming the Washington Football Team to town for a Monday afternoon game. Washington sits at 4-7 but is currently tied for the lead in the woeful NFC East. Meanwhile, the Steelers are 11-0 and on top in the AFC North.
Both teams have plenty to play for so how do the oddsmakers look at this? According to BetMGM, the Steelers are currently seven-point favorites at home.
If this number feels a little low, it is. But when you consider how long Washington has had to prepare for this game in comparison to Pittsburgh, it is hard to feel confident the Steelers can even cover seven points right now. Pittsburgh is going to be without several starters on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and could just be worn down from the schedule and all the changes.
Historically, Washington leads the all-time series 42-33-3 but in the 2000s it’s been all Pittsburgh. The Steelers are 4-0 in the 2000s with the last matchup being a 38-16 Steelers win in Washington.
