Super Bowl Odds Pittsburgh Steelers: This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers established themselves once again as a legitimate force to be reckoned in the AFC and a worthy Super Bowl contender. Going into the NFL Playoffs’ Championship round, the Steelers have put themselves in a great position by securing home-field advantage throughout. Thus, Pittsburgh appears to be the favorite to go all the way, and be victorious in Tampa Bay, FL, on February 1st.

According to odds-makers at SportsBook.com, the Pittsburgh Steelers [-150] continue to be the Sports Odds favorites to win Super Bowl XLIII.

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has been the key to their success this season, leading the league in almost every statistical category.

Pittsburgh’s “D” gave up an NFL-low 237.2 yards per game, which is the fewest allowed by any team since the 1991 Philadelphia Eagles (221.8 ypg). The Steelers also led the league in scoring defense, allowing a stingy 13.9 points per contest.

This Sunday at 6:30 PM (3:30 PM PT) on CBS, the Steelers host the Baltimore Ravens for a shot at advancing to Super Bowl XLIII. According to the Sports Odds, the Pittsburgh Steelers [-6] come into this game as the favorites to defeat the visiting Baltimore Ravens [+6] in a matchup between the NFL top-two ranked defenses.

"It's two football teams that play a certain brand of football. It's physical football, it's fundamental, it's a very disciplined style of football," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "It's going to be a physical match… That's the beauty of the NFL." The OVER/UNDER for this AFC Championship game has been set at a combined total of 34 points.
