Pittsburgh Steelers Earn Another Victory As They Prepare For Week 9 Against Chicago

Written By Dave Bontempo on November 3, 2021Last Updated on March 22, 2025

Greetings! You have arrived at the peak point of achievement.

Attention Mountain State bettors, beware as the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently on a winning streak of three games, with a fourth victory on the horizon.

If they manage to emerge victorious against the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football, a game in which they are heavily favored, they will achieve a remarkable milestone: being two games above .500. This would mark an impressive journey from a 1-3 record to an impressive 5-3.

If the team’s offense performs well against the Bears defense, which allowed 467 yards in their recent loss to the San Francisco 49ers, bettors who focus on over-under and prop bets will be very excited.

Do Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool have any potential for touchdown passes? Are there any chances for star running back Najee Harris to shine? Additionally, the over-under is set at a low 40.

There are various attractive choices available for bettors.

We don’t have any odds for upcoming NFL games.

Pittsburgh Steelers Odds At WV Sportsbooks

You have the freedom to customize your own parlay at the majority of West Virginia sportsbooks, which adds to their appeal.

DraftKings WV Sportsbook excels in offering players the opportunity to adjust spreads and game totals by several points in either direction, allowing them to place bets accordingly.

Introducing a fundamental AFC North model:

Reduce the Steelers and Bears’ score from 40 to 34 points, then choose the over.

Place the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns at a lower ranking of 38.5 and bet on the over.

The collective bets amount to -111, which is almost equivalent to the odds for a single game.

What would motivate you to engage in such an action? The opportunity to shift the outcome of every game in your favor by approximately a touchdown.

Typically, Steelers games tend to have a final score within the range of 40 to 43 points. However, last week, Coach Mike Tomlin’s mistake of calling a fake field goal resulted in Chris Boswell getting injured and the team losing at least seven points. Taking into account the 25 points earned from Pittsburgh’s 15-10 victory, a total of 34 points seems like a reasonable estimate.

The Bengals will be extremely frustrated for underestimating the New York Jets and suffering a chaotic defeat, while their defense has an average performance. It is plausible for both teams to score forty points.

Looking to complete an AFC North triple dip? Include the Ravens on the moneyline when they play at home against the Minnesota Vikings, and the three-teamer will have odds of +170.

When you place these bets separately, you’ll end up paying excessive juice. However, if you combine them, you can secure a reasonably decent payout for three events with favorable odds.

Although the parlay bettor needs to successfully predict every component in order to win, this serves as a prime illustration of the possibilities gamblers can explore with the available betting lines.

The crucial factor in these bets is to base your parlay on a key wager, regardless of its unbalanced odds. As you expand your parlay, the price improves progressively.

Steelers Prop Bets Vs. Bears

Two highly acclaimed newcomers establish their own partnership.

At DraftKings, there is a +125 odds for Harris and Bears QB Justin Fields to collectively accumulate 124.5 rushing yards.

Harris was a steal for the Steelers in the first round of the NFL draft.

He remains the indispensable player for them, accumulating yards in various ways and scoring rushing touchdowns. Harris also excels at gaining difficult yards close to the goal line. His running style is fueled by an intangible passion.

Fields is a fan of running on the opposing side of the field. He managed to accumulate 103 yards through 10 carries during the previous week.

The book is alluring bettors with the previous week’s combined score of 194. Can they achieve 125 this time?

State Of The Steelers

Could this recent run be considered a temporary blip on the radar or is it indicative of a larger trend?

In the event that the Steelers emerge victorious against Chicago and Cleveland manages to defeat Cincinnati this week, the Steelers will secure the second spot in the AFC North.

Surprisingly, the Steelers have just one additional loss compared to the division-leading Baltimore Ravens. On the other hand, for those who bet on the Ravens, this could potentially be the most favorable price offered throughout the entire season. However, it may still be slightly unaffordable for many.

The Steelers have effectively utilized the middle of their schedule in the short term.

Books have yet to be persuaded that they can outsmart the Ravens in the long run.

“Currently, there are a few scenarios unfolding in the AFC North,” stated Johnny Avello, the Director of Race and Sportsbook Operations at DraftKings, in an interview with Play WV.

“The Ravens currently hold the strongest position, while Cleveland seems unable to achieve success for unknown reasons. The Bengals are not yet prepared to dominate the division, and Pittsburgh’s performance is lacking at the moment.”

The Steelers have managed to salvage their season by winning three consecutive close games against the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, and Browns. Their ability to come out on top in these nail-biting encounters has kept their hopes alive.

Boswell, an integral component of the equation, displayed an early sense of humor. During the week, he amusingly revealed how he had dressed up as a quarterback for Halloween and was startled by the fake field-goal call.

Despite the trick play not being favorable for the Steelers, they emerged victorious and are now eager to welcome back their most precise kicker in the NFL since 2019. With an impressive record of hitting 60 out of 64 overall attempts, or 94%, they aim to maintain their kicking prowess.

Pay close attention to the lineup. He is crucial for these bets.
