Steelers open as 3.5-point underdogs against the Rams

The Pittsburgh Steelers spent Week Six of the NFL season on the bye and hopefully getting healthy and working on getting the season on track. The one advantage of having a bye week so early is Pittsburgh should be able to make some corrections ahead of these final 12 games.

First up is a cross-country road trip to take on the Los Angeles Rams. Despite the better record, BetMGM’s opening line for this week’s game has the Steelers as 3.5-point road underdogs.

The Rams got a 26-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. They currently sit at 3-3 and sit in third place in the NFC West.

The Rams are led by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford has some serious weapons on offense and got wide receiver Cooper Kupp back from injury on Sunday. Defensively, Steelers fans know it all starts with elite defensive tackle Aaron Donald. He’s going to make life difficult on a struggling Steelers offensive line.
