Steelers Being Disrespected by Odds in Ravens Game

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten off not only the best possible start they could have imagined at a perfect 6-0 through Week 7, but the franchise has also, in fact, gotten off to a historical one too. This the first time they've been undefeated through Week 4 since Terry Bradshaw's 1979 Super Bowl champion team.

Steelers vs Ravens Spread Week 8

With that being said, there's a lot going for the Steelers right now, which is why it's especially surprising to see Pittsburgh open as a 4.5-point road underdog against the Baltimore Ravens, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, in this huge Week 8 matchup.

The Ravens are, of course, a tough opponent, however, they just haven't seemed to impose their will on teams, especially good ones for that matter, with the same sort of dominance they did a season ago.

While Baltimore is coming off a bye week and the Steelers are hitting the road, let's not forget that the Kansas City Chiefs came into this same stadium and practically blew the doors off the Ravens in Week 3, 34-20, even in a final score that didn't reflect the gap.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the Steelers will be capable of doing the same, but Pittsburgh is coming fresh off an impressive victory over a then-undefeated Tennessee Titans team on the road in Week 7.
