Last week, the Pittsburgh Steelers found themselves in the awkward position of being home underdogs to the Cleveland Browns. After getting that win and moving to 7-5 on the season, the Steelers now find themselves 2.5-point road favorites over the Arizona Cardinals according to Bet MGM.
The Steelers lead the overall series 34-23-3. The last time the Steelers and Cardinals squared off, it was back in 2015 and Pittsburgh won 25-13. The most well-known matchup between these two teams was back in Super Bowl XLIII. The Steelers won 27-23 and contained two of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, both by the Steelers.
This season the Cardinals are in a state of flux. They have a new head coach in Kliff Kingsbury and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. The Cardinals have had their struggles and currently sit at 3-7-1 and last week were officially eliminated from playoff contention. Pittsburgh is 22-4 against rookie quarterbacks under head coach Mike Tomlin.
