Pittsburgh Steelers (-10\u00bd) vs. Detroit Lions( +10\u00bd)
\nOU (44)

The defending Super Bowl-champion Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2 SU, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O\/U) have struggled mightily this season but recorded a solid win their last time out, beating the dysfunctional San Diego Chargers 38-28 as 5.5-point home favorites in Week 4.<\/p>\n

BetUS NFL betting members can expect the Steelers to look a whole lot better when they hit the road to take on the rebuilding Detroit Lions (1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS, 2-2 O\/U) at Ford Field on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET.<\/p>\n

Rashard Mendenhall rushed for 165 yards on 29 carries with two touchdowns to lead the Steelers to their Week 4 while the game\u2019s final score played well Over the 41-point Over\/Under total.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Matthew Stafford completed 24 of 36 passes for 296 yards with one touchdown and one interception before suffering a scary knee injury in Detroit’s 48-24 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 4.<\/p>\n

The Lions failed to cover the game\u2019s NFL betting odds as a 9.5-point road underdog while the 72 combined points played well Over the 43-point O\/U total.<\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Steelers -10\u00bd -110
\nDetroit Lions +10\u00bd -110
\nOver 44 -110
\nUnder 44 -110<\/p>\n

Analysis<\/strong>: While the Pittsburgh Steelershave recorded some absolutely ugly trends in this contest, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s much doubt that they are going to steamroll the young and rebuilding Lions who may sit strong-armed rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford after he narrowly escaped a serious knee injury in Week 4.<\/p>\n

No matter who\u2019s under center for the Lions, they are going down and going down hard to a Steelers team that will almost assuredly have hard-hitting safety Troy Polamalu back on the field this week.<\/p>\n

Yes, the Steelers are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a road favorite, but Pittsburgh will be facing a Detroit Lions team that has gone a discouraging 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games overall and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games.<\/p>\n

With the Under going 4- 0 in Detroit\u2019s last four home games, I also like the Under to play out as well.<\/p>\n
