NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Steelers vs. Rams
Steelers vs. Rams
The Steelers will bring back Diontae Johnson and Pat Freiermuth back from the injured list. Those two receivers could play a big role in getting the Pittsburgh offense back on track. Pittsburgh has earned just 289.4 yards per game offensively, but have given up 409.2 yards defensively. Yet, the Steelers are 3-2 on the season. Pittsburgh will get to face a Rams secondary that hasn't looked good this season. Los Angeles has also missed a lot of tackles this season. On the other hand, the Rams have four running backs on the roster. But they're unsure who will get the start and most carries. It sounds like the Rams will just try and throw the ball with veteran Matthew Stafford, knowing Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua will be on the field. Therefore, I'll rock with the Over 44 in this game.
Pick: Over 43.5

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.
