NFL Week 16 Betting: Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams +8
Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams +8
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. St. Louis Rams on December 20, 2007, Thursday in the Edward Jones Dome at St.Louis, Missouri.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a 9-5 NFL record straight-up and are 7-7 against the spread (ATS). The St. Louis Rams have had a tough season with a 3-11 record straight-up, and are 5-9 ATS. The Pittsburgh Steelers are 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games while the St. Louis Rams are 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games.
The St. Louis Rams looks to be more consistent in their play although their 3-11 straight-up record doesn’t seem to reflect it. The Pittsburgh Steelers were expected to be one of the top teams in the NFL, but they’ve had some spills here and there, and need to find a bit more consistency in their offense if they are going to overcome the -8 point spread.
The Pittsburgh Steelers might have to overcome that point spread without the services of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who is questionable to play due to an injured right shoulder. Also out will be Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Andre Frazier, who has a groin injury.
While that might be good news for the St. Louis Rams, it still won’t be an easy task for them to hold off the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially with injuries to their quarterbacks Marc Bulger and Gus Frerotte, wide receiver Brandon Williams and running back Brian Leonard.
Sports bettors can expect the Rams vs. Steelers football game to be a low-scoring one, and the scoreline should be UNDER a sum of 45.5 points. In terms of who will be able to win against the spread, sportsbettingindex.net will be looking to the St. Louis Rams to hold off the Pittsburgh Steelers and win Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams +8.
