The Pittsburgh Steelers’ first international game since 2013 was announced on Tuesday as they will be hosting the Minnesota Vikings at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland. According to Las Vegas oddsmakers, the Steelers are opening as slight underdogs.
DraftKings Sportsbook has the Steelers as 1.5-point underdogs to the Vikings with an over/under set at 42.5. Both teams will be dealing with international travel, but the Vikings are much more experienced in doing so.
The Vikings have played four regular-season international games (2013, 2017, 2022, 2024) and have a perfect 4-0 record. That game in 2013 was against the Steelers and the Vikings won, 34-27, as Greg Jennings had two long touchdown catches and Ben Roethlisberger fumbled on 3rd and goal with 19 seconds left in the game to seal the defeat.
