Super Bowl Odds For Pittsburgh Steelers

Super Bowl odds for the Steelers this year look pretty sharp. The Pittsburgh Steelers were successful last season even after going through a bit of a transitioning phase with two of their cornerstone players. After going 9-6-1 in the regular season, the 2018 season became the first time the Pittsburgh Steelers failed to qualify for the playoffs since the 2013 season. After losing star running back Le'Veon Bell and watching the morale of star wide receiver, Antonio Brown, completely deteriorate the Steelers locker room, Pittsburgh never lost a beat.

Young position specialists like wide receiver, Juju Smith-Schuster, and running back, James Connor, were relied on heavily down the stretch and thrived in the Steelers offensive system. Pittsburgh, under the long-term tutelage of Mike Tomlin, has always been a team in contention every single year. With a centralized core going into 2019, the Steelers are of distractions and can look forward to competing for a playoff spot and eventually a Super Bowl win. The team’s latest first-round draft pick, Devin Bush, looks primed to be a formidable part of this Bucs defense. Unlike some teams, who can be knocked out of contention with a single injury, the Steelers are deep, talented and have proved they can win without the big names who are no longer part of the team.

The Super Bowl 54 odds for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year look very conceivable. Since 2005, the Steelers have been to three separate Super Bowls, have won two of them, and have qualified for the playoffs nine times. It speaks volumes of a team, who plays in an already difficult division, to compete year after year through adversity and still have success during the season. It would be wise to make 2019 the year to put your bets on the Steelers for Super Bowl 54. Ben Roethlisberger, who turns 38 next March, is entering the twilight zone of his historic career. While ripe in age, the two time Super Bowl-winning quarterback is still a threat every time he steps on the field. 2019 could possibly be the last time we witness Ben Roethlisberger make it to the big dance, giving more reason to check out the latest SB54 odds for the Steelers.

Odds for Pittsburgh in the AFC North look pretty good going into 2019. Within their own division, the Steelers face constant competition. Last season, even at 9-6-1, the Steelers were unable to qualify for the 2018 playoffs in large part due to the Baltimore Ravens. Pittsburgh’s most hated rival, Baltimore, was able to secure a spot in the playoffs after going 10-6 behind the dazzling play of then-rookie, Lamar Jackson. Pittsburgh also has a pretty one-sided history as it pertains to AFC North championships. Since the inception of the division in 2002, the Steelers have won the AFC North a whopping eight times. In just the last five years alone, Pittsburgh has taken the AFC North three times. If perspective bettors are looking for a division to zero in on, taking the Steelers in the AFC North would be the route to take.

Odds for Pittsburgh to win the AFC, however, is another story. As with most AFC North teams, there is still elite competition out of their division, but still in the conference. For Pittsburgh, they have been a mainstay in the AFC playoffs for the better part of a decade. But in recent years, more teams from the conference have begun their rise to take over. Teams like the Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will all have their hand stirring in the AFC pot this season. But for Pittsburgh, it always seems they run on a bend but don’t break system, where the team doesn’t collapse they just compensate. It’s comparable to how Bill Belichick says the New England Patriots “don’t rebuild, they reload”. In other words, it will always be a generally safe bet wagering on the Steelers in the AFC. All of the leading online sportsbooks have AFC odds for the Steelers.
