The Pittsburgh Steelers will be looking to get more from QB
Ben Roethlisberger on Saturday afternoon as they play host to
the St. Louis Rams in an NFL betting matchup at Bovada's online
sportsbook.
Find our what NFL odds makers are saying about the AFC North at
Bovada.
The Steelers wasted a chance to move into first place
in the AFC North standings on Monday night, generating little offense in a 20-3
road loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Roethlisberger, questionable to
play all week due to an ankle injury, might've been better off on the bench as
he went 25 of 44 for 330 yards passing with no touchdowns and three
interceptions – good for a QB Rating of just 52.3 for the
night.
Jerricho Cotchery had five catches for 93 yards
for Pittsburgh in that loss, while Rashard Mendenhall rushed 15
times for 64 yards on the night. Shaun Suisham put up the
team's only points with a field goal in the third quarter.
That loss
dropped the Steelers to 10-4 straight up (6-8 against the NFL betting odds) on the season, and kept them in a tie with
the Baltimore Ravens for first place in the division. Baltimore owns the
tiebreaker due to head-to-head results this season.
To overtake the
Ravens and avoid ending up as the No. 5 seed in the AFC, then, the Steelers are
going to need some wins and some help down the stretch, starting on Saturday
when they host the lowly Rams.
St. Louis, at 2-12 straight up and 2-11-1
against the spread, is long out of the playoff chase; the only thing they can
claim this year is the right to pick first overall in next year's NFL
Draft.
The Rams are coming off a 20-13 home loss to the Cincinnati
Bengals in which Kellen Clemens, filling in for Sam
Bradford, went 25 of 36 for 229 yards passing with one touchdown and no
interceptions. Bradford (ankle) could be done for the season.
