NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Cardinals vs. Steelers
Cardinals vs. Steelers
Most football fans were impressed with Pittsburgh's 400+ yard output last week against the Bengals. But with those 400+ yards, the Steelers only scored 16 points. That's not ideal. However, they're going to take on another lower-tier defense on Sunday in the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have allowed nearly 27 points per game while allowing 140.08 yards on the ground. Look for Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren to put together good games. Although Diontae Johnson isn't always invested in the game, he and George Pickens will get to take on a Cardinals team that has been weak in the secondary all year. Plus, Pat Freiermuth is back from an injury that kept him out almost the entire middle portion of the season. His presence should also help the Steelers. Pittsburgh's played at an average level and are 7-4. If the offense starts to improve, the Steelers can actually be a tough out moving forward. However, I also like the Cardinals' offense on Sunday. Since Kyler Murray and James Conner returned, the offense has at least put points on the board. Arizona has averaged 18.3 points since those two returned, while the Cardinals have only scored 17.17 points per game this season. Let's take the Over 41.5.
Pick: Over 41.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
