To the surprise of many, the 7-5 Steelers opened Week 14 as simply a pick-em against the 3-8-1 Arizona Cardinals, courtesy of The Action Network. While the line has since shifted in Pittsburgh’s favor, the odds are still a bit concerning.
The Cardinals are a team led by a rookie quarterback. They have had a weak offensive line all season, and their defense is currently ranked 31st in points per game (29.2) and 32nd in yards allowed per game (426.3), according to Team Rankings.
Despite all of these factors they have going against them, Vegas still chose to give them even odds with the Steelers.
