Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 Super Bowl 56 odds

The Pittsburgh Steelers were the NFL’s last undefeated team in 2020 at 11-0 but lost four of their final five regular-season games and a home playoff game to rival Cleveland Browns. It would appear the world has jumped off the Pittsburgh bandwagon heading into 2021. Below, we look at the Pittsburgh Steelers 2022 Super Bowl 56 odds, with NFL futures picks and predictions.

The Steelers have been an organization that has prided itself on building from within and, along with the Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers, have set the standard for sustained success largely through the draft and not breaking the bank on outside free agents. With a defense that was torn apart by injury and an offense that sputtered down the stretch, change was needed and it had to come from the draft.

Pittsburgh suffered some significant losses on both sides of the ball this offseason, but that is nothing new. They reloaded and will come out swinging.

Steelers’ offseason recap

The Steelers did a good job of re-signing many of their own free agents, but the losses of OLs Maurkice Pouncey (retirement), Alejandro Villanueva and Matt Feiler took a toll. In response, Pittsburgh signed three free-agent linemen to replace them at a better market value.

As always, the draft was critical to the Steelers’ offseason. Offense was the biggest issue and the first four picks went that way, starting with running back Najee Harris in the first round. He is going to change the offense, take heat off of QB Ben Roethlisberger and allow playmakers like JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chase Claypool and Eric Ebron to get back to business as usual.

Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl 56 and 2021 NFL futures picks

Before you dismiss small bets on deep playoff runs, ask yourself, “If Baltimore lost Lamar Jackson or Cleveland lost Baker Mayfield early in the season, what would their record be?” It would be a low number. Roethlisberger went down in 2019 and Pittsburgh went 8-8. They were an epically bad 12-4 team last year, but they were 12-4.

The betting starts by taking the Super Bowl off the board and, quite likely, the division title. However, I’m willing to place a small wager on the AFC NORTH title at +400 for four times my return.

I also like the OVER 8.5 wins (-125) because that is for a 17-game season, not 16. As to whether they make the playoffs? I’m willing to avoid that, but +150 would be tempting.
