Las Vegas Makes Rough Prediction For 2025 Steelers originally appeared on The Spun.
The new-look Pittsburgh Steelers may be going “all in” in 2025, but that doesn’t mean the oddsmakers see their eight-year winless playoff streak coming to an end next season.

In fact, Vegas isn’t so sure they’ll even get the chance. Per Pittsburgh sports radio host Andrew Fillipponi, the Steelers are only favored in six of their 17 regular season games despite all of their offseason moves. Those games being:
Week 1 @ New York Jets (-3)
Week 2 vs. Seattle Seahawks (-1.5)
Week 6 vs. Cleveland Browns (-6.5)
Week 9 vs. Indianapolis Colts (-3.5)
Week 15 vs. Miami Dolphins (-2.5)
Week 17 @ Cleveland Browns (-2.5)
If Pittsburgh were to only win the games they were favored in they would go 6-11— marking Mike Tomlin’s first losing season in the Steel City. It would also mean that all of their spending this year was for not (and they haven’t even re-upped with T.J. Watt yet).
Final rosters are far from locked in at this point of the year so these are still very early projections. But it’s definitely not a good sign for the Steelers that this is how they’re being viewed by the betting public.

If anything these odds give Watt even more leverage than he already had after skipping out on the team’s mandatory minicamp in search of a new deal.

The Steelers are already the league’s biggest spender on defense after trading for Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Pittsburgh is throwing whatever it can at the wall to finally make it past the wild card round.
