Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 NFL Betting Preview

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the class of the AFC North and should win the division easily this season. They might even make a run at the AFC title, although MyCapper experts feel that may be a bridge too far for this team.

2007/08 Record: 10-6

2007/08 Verdict:

Completing our quartet of AFC North failure we also predicted in the Pittsburgh Steelers betting preview that the Steelers would fail in 07 with their new coach. We went for the Ravens and Bengals, but before you cast stones check our all our other predictions and you'll see we made a lot more cash than we lost, so whatever. The Steelers were good last season, very good in fact, and ended the year 10-6, although they made you no money betting on them as they finished 8-8 ATS.

2008/09 Mycapper.com NFL Betting Prediction: UP

The Steelers have been one of the most heavily bet on teams in the NFL Futures betting markets. Their odds to win the AFC and even the Super Bowl have been cut. Yet they have the toughest schedule in the entire NFL in terms of the combined win percentage of their opposition. So what do you do with this team? We say bet on them to win the division. That makes sense. But don't go any further just yet. They have a great defense and are solid in all other departments but can they get past the Colts, Pats, Chargers, and Jaguars? Probably not. This team has very few key ATS stats that jump out over the past 3 seasons. They win a little more often than they lose, and do what it takes. You won't get rich betting on this team but you'll stay ahead.

2008/09 Pittsburgh Steelers Betting Preview

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 5/6 to win the AFC North, 6/1 to win the AFC Championship, and 12/1 to win Super Bowl XLIII. Go to Sportsbook.com where there are a ton of NFL futures to bet on.
