It isn’t often the Pittsburgh Steelers are home underdogs but according to Tipico Sportsbook, Pittsburgh are now 2-point home underdogs to the New England Patriots.
Why is this happening? Mostly likely it is due to the fact that despite the Steelers are 1-0 and the Patriots are 0-1, bettors are worred about the absence of linebacker T.J. Watt and the potential absence of running back Najee Harris.
The team officially placed Watt on IR on Thursday and Harris’ status for the game is still up in the air after injuring his foot last weekend.
Let us know in the comments what you think about the Patriots being favored in Pittsburgh if you are planning to make a bet on the Steelers this weekend and taking the points.
