NFL Betting Line: Steelers Win Total O/U

7.5 wins (FanDuel)

The centerpiece of the Steelers' schedule - Weeks 5 to 12 - is certainly worrisome, but There are still games to be won.

Remember, this is a Pittsburgh team where he was 6-2-1 at home last season. The previous season, when playing in Pittsburgh, Tomlin's team was his 7-1 record. The Steelers have an extra road game this season, but their home schedule (Patriots, Jets, Bucks, Saints, Bengals, Ravens, Raiders, Browns) isn't what I consider very intimidating. .

The Steelers could have an advantage in his 6-7 games this season. His one of the games against Cleveland came in Week 3, and quarterback Deshaun Watson is serving a six-game suspension (if it lasts). So while Pittsburgh is expected to take a step back this season, it may not be the drop some are predicting.

There is a clear case for the Steelers to clear this number of wins. In the last three seasons, their defense has placed him 14th or better (2019 he was 3rd, 2020 he was 1st and 2021 he was 14th), according to the Football Outsiders. Considering the defense suffered a number of injuries last season, I'm confident he will do better than No. 27 for a run in 2022. Finished eighth or higher in each of the last three seasons. Based on these trends, there is an argument that offense should be averaged out in order to allow defense to drive game outcomes.

I tend to favor the Steelers total wins for these reasons. However, this is close either way.

Mike Tomlin – Years (+3000, FanDuel)

Expectations are clearly set very low for the Steelers this season. However, Tomlin does qualify for the Coach of the Year nomination.

My Action According to his network colleague Steve Petrella, he has three types of coaches to win this award. He's the coach who won 5-7 more games than last season, promoted a good team. People who face adversity and keep their teams in the playoffs.

Tomlin fits his third criterion. The Steelers are expected to struggle, but there is an argument that Pittsburgh's ceiling is very high at the same time.

Assuming the Steelers win his five or more home games, he could potentially qualify for the playoffs with his win, loading with the Falcons, Browns (without Watson), Eagles, Dolphins and Panthers. . Given the historical strength of Pittsburgh's pass defense, they can certainly capture these games against the average quarterback.

If that season's script comes to fruition, Tomlin will probably get a lot of credit for leading the Steelers to his 10-win season in his first year without Roethlisberger. right. On 30/1 I will gladly receive a flyer about the event.
