Steelers vs. Eagles Week 3

Point spread for the week 3 NFL clash between the Steelers and the Eagles, plus the point spreads, and betting trends for nfl football betting.

Week 3 Odds: Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

The Pittsburgh Steelers had to beat the Cleveland Browns the old fashioned way in Week 2 of the NFL Season. They played terrific defense and controlled the clock.  They also didn’t cover against the spread, but that’s okay. This is the NFL where teams that look great one week could have trouble finding the end zone the next week. Pittsburgh is still an excellent team for football betting fans to key their online wagers around. They have a great mix of run and pass in their offensive schemes and nobody has the heart at the quarterback position that Big Ben has. This team is well on its way to being an NFL betting juggernaut in the AFC this season.

Then again, so are the Philadelphia Eagles. They trounced the St. Louis Rams in their first game of the season, easily covering the online betting spread then they barely lost to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night as 6 ½ point online betting underdogs. The Eagles were fantastic in that Monday nighter, racking up huge chunks of yardage. Turnovers did the Eagles in on Monday night or else they might have brought home a very nice online sportsbook money line bet at +240. In any case the Eagles beat the 6½ point online wagering spread by losing to the Cowboys by only four points. Pittsburgh will be a tough game for the Eagles.

Here are the BetUS Sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Pittsburgh Steelers + 3 – 105 + 145 O 45 – 110
Philadelphia Eagles – 3 – 115 – 165 U 45 – 110

Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games following an against the spread loss.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games on the road.
The Philadelphia Eagles are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games overall.
The Philadelphia Eagles are 3 and 8 against the spread in their last 11 games at home.

Two of the best teams in the NFL will be on display in this Sunday afternoon match-up. From a BetUS online sportsbook NFL football betting point-of-view, the Steelers have a great defense and could win this game outright at +145 on the online betting money line because of that defense.

 But the Steel Curtain hasn’t faced an offense quite like this one. Donovan McNabb has been absolutely brilliant in his first two games of the season. He’s done everything one would expect as a veteran quarterback. His soon-to-be-superstar rookie wide receiver, DeSean Jackson, has been fantastic and Bryan Westbrook is easily one of the best running backs in the NFL.

But will that be enough for the Eagles to beat a Steelers’ squad that has shown few chinks in their armor? This is a terrific game for online wagering fans to make an online bet on because both teams will come to play. I see this one going either way which means I have to take a swing when one presents itself.

Even though I love McNabb and the Eagles this season, the Steelers’ are just too good on defense to allow the Eagles to rack up over thirty points while the Eagles aren’t good enough on defense to keep Hines Ward, Willie Parker, Big Ben and Santonio Holmes out of the end zone.

Free Prediction:

I have to grudgingly go with the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the BetUS online sportsbook wagering spread of 3 points. I will also take the Steelers on the online betting money line.

To me, the online odds (+145) are just too good to pass up.
