No matter how many ugly games the Steelers win or how many upset victories they pull out of the hat, and there have been plenty of those already in this young season, it seems oddsmakers aren't buying them as serious contenders.
Hell, Vegas doesn't even think they'll make the playoffs.
Despite sitting at 5-3, which currently sets them as the fifth seed in the playoffs, the Steelers are UNDERDOGS to make the playoffs. They have -160 odds to miss the playoffs and +130 odds to make it.
That means oddsmakers are giving them an implied probability of 61.
