Pittsburgh Steelers open as touchdown favorites vs. Philadelphia Eagles in Week 5

The Philadelphia Eagles opened as touchdown road underdogs for their meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field in Week 5.

The Philadelphia Eagles (1-2-1) travel in-state in Week 5 to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-0) at Heinz Field Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. Let’s look at the early Week 5 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Pittsburgh got an unexpected bye week in Week 4 as its scheduled opponent, the Tennessee Titans, had several positive COVID-19 tests that forced the NFL to postpone the game until October 25. The Steelers notched a straight up and against the spread win in their last outing in Week 3 against the Houston Texans, winning 28-21.

QB Carson Wentz put an injury-riddled Philadelphia team on his back and willed them to a 25-20 victory in Week 4 against the San Francisco 49ers. His numbers weren’t jawdropping but Wentz threw for a touchdown, ran for a score and consistently made plays when the Eagles needed them.
