Jaguars at Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 13/1 choices to win Super Bowl LII. But which five of their regular season games are straight-up locks?

Top 5 Easiest Pittsburgh Steelers Games of 2017

The over/under for Pittsburgh Steelers wins in 2017 is 10.5 according to the WestGate Las Vegas Superbook. And the game-by-game spreads from CG Technology show 5 easy wins out there for a team listed as a 7/1 favorite to win the AFC.

(Week 17 is excluded, too, because of high variance caused by potential playoff seeding, quarterbacks sitting out the final week or playing partial games, etc.)

Pittsburgh starts the 2017 NFL season as a huge road favorite in Week 1. That line shows Pittsburgh as a 9-point favorite on the road against the Cleveland Browns.

The Steelers are a 9-point favorite when Jacksonville comes to Pittsburgh in Week 5. Two weeks later, a Week 7 home date with Cincinnati shows Pittsburgh as a 7-point favorite.

Two more Pittsburgh Steelers home games provide more solid opportunity. The visiting Titans are getting 6 1/2 points in Week 11, and the visiting Ravens get 6 in Week 14.

Potential Pittsburgh Steelers Losses in 2017

Pittsburgh is favored in 13 of its 15 games in 2017. However, the Steelers are 1 1/2-point underdogs against defending Super Bowl champion New England in Week 15. The Steelers are also getting a point and the hook on the road in Week 6 at the Kansas City Chiefs.

Two other road games show Pittsburgh as 1-point favorites — Week 10 at Indianapolis, and Week 13 at Cincinnati.

Pittsburgh Steelers Prediction

With Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown as the premier QB-WR pair in the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers are never out of any game. Look for the Steelers to win fewer than 10.5 games, but still be contenders in the NFL Playoffs.
