It is possible that the Pittsburgh Steelers are achieving their success through unconventional means. However, the majority of people doubt their ability to overtake the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.
However, despite starting the season with a 1-3 record, fans in Mountain State have shown their support for a team that has achieved four consecutive victories. They are hopeful that the Pittsburgh Steelers will continue their winning streak and improve their overall record to 6-3 with the upcoming home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Although the Steelers struggle to secure decisive victories, they have successfully salvaged a season that was slipping out of their grasp.
Moving ahead, it is crucial to keep these betting considerations in mind:
Last week against the Chicago Bears, running back Najee Harris remained a favorite among West Virginia sportsbooks, particularly when it came to the Steelers. He took home a payout of +320 as the first touchdown scorer at Caesars WV.
Bettors at Caesars who placed that wager prior to the game received a complimentary bet to utilize during the game.
It is important to remember that national games, being isolated events with a larger betting audience than usual, present a favorable opportunity. The bookmakers employ innovative methods to attract customers both before and during the competition.
Last week, we successfully hit the target on a prop bet we had discussed here, resulting in a payout of +170. Cha-Ching!
To execute this strategy, the approach involved reducing the combined scores of the Steelers-Bears and Browns-Bengals games by seven points. Subsequently, a wager was placed on the Baltimore Ravens to win outright against the Minnesota Vikings.
While payouts within this range may not be considered glamorous, there is absolutely nothing wrong with a +170 when the ultimate goal is to maximize profits.
Experimenting with that method is a great way to test its suitability for you on a weekly basis. For bettors, it’s possible to start with the Steelers-Lions game and lower the point total to 36, then connect it with a few other games.
Pittsburgh Steelers Odds At WV Sportsbooks
Where the Steelers stand:
Those who placed bets on the win total exceeding 8.5 are currently in a slightly advantageous position. However, it is crucial for them that the Steelers achieve their sixth win this weekend, as they still have challenging matchups against the Ravens, as well as one each against the Bengals and the Browns in the remaining games.
Feeling hungry for some lip-smacking action? Well, go right ahead. The Lions, after surrendering a whopping 44 points to the Philadelphia Eagles a couple of weeks back, seemed to have taken their bye week even during the game.
For the first time since 1980, the Philadelphia team achieved a remarkable milestone with two separate backs, Jordan Howard and Boston Scott, each scoring two touchdowns.
Harris is in a favorable position and will receive recognition. However, the Lions will likely attempt to restrict his performance by employing a defensive strategy of positioning eight players in the box. Should this occur, keep an eye on Roethlisberger as he may exploit this by targeting Johnson for substantial gains.
No matter what defensive strategy Detroit employs, Roethlisberger has a strong affinity for his tight end.
We early praised him as the next Heath Miller, and Pat Freiermuth has indeed provided Big Ben with the same level of reliability, as seen in his two touchdowns against the Bears.
Freiermuth’s ability to make crucial receptions on third down has been instrumental in keeping drives alive. Undoubtedly, he has emerged as the Steelers’ most reliable receiver in clutch situations.
How will the Lions’ winless record impact their in-game strategy from the opposite side of the ball?
Anticipate the Lions taking risks on fourth downs and attempting clever trick plays, as they have nothing to lose. Prepare for their fierce determination and anger.
Consider how the props of a touchdown by the Steelers’ defense or special-teams factor into your decision-making.
The Eagles managed to secure six sacks and a special-teams score against the Lions.
Steelers Prop Bets Vs. Lions
At DraftKings WV Sportsbook, the passing yardage over-under for Lions quarterback Jared Goff is set at 251.5. The odds for both sides are -115.
Are D’Andre Swift from the Lions and Harris from the Steelers able to accumulate a total of 174.5 rushing yards? This bet is available at -110 odds in the Weekly Specials section on DraftKings.
When performing at their peak, the running backs collectively achieve this goal. Factors influencing this outcome include whether Swift will share playing time with Jamaal Williams, who was absent during the Eagles game two weeks ago. Subsequently, the team had their bye week.
Make sure to check the injury reports as Williams might be able to play, which could reduce Swift’s overall playing time.
There’s a decent opportunity here. The game’s total touchdowns are set at 4.5, and betting on the over gives you +100 odds. The Lions are known for allowing numerous scores, so the outcome may depend on their ability to score one themselves.
A Caesars sample:
Both teams’ first drives of the game offer bettors the opportunity to place bets.
Outcome of first drive:
Pittsburgh
- Punt +119
- Touchdown +215
- Field goal attempt +365
- Turnover +525
Detroit
- Punt -145
- Touchdown +450
- Field goal attempt +420
- Turnover +440
It is expected for a team that has experienced embarrassment in the previous game to focus on even the slightest opportunities for improvement.
On occasion, the first possession may result in a field goal, particularly when the team has the initial possession. The Lions’ poor performance has caused the odds to increase significantly, reaching a staggering +420.
