The Patriots vs. Steelers Week 15 betting odds have Pittsburgh as a rare +2.5 home underdog in this Game of the Week.
The Steelers have only once been a home underdog in the past three seasons. As an underdog, the UNDER has gone 3-11 with a total set at 54.5 for this game.
60% of the betting action was on New England with the line tending to move towards -3.
The Patriots lost badly against Miami last weekend, perhaps looking ahead to this marquee game as both teams are destined for another Playoff run.
"I think everyone took this pretty hard," Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said on his regular weekly radio appearance on WEEI in Boston. "The locker room wasn't in very good spirits and the plane ride home was very quiet. It is also the ability for us to learn from it and move forward, which is what we are going to need to do because I think we have always felt that one loss shouldn't become two and two shouldn't become three because that is when it really turns into bad seasons.
"We have to figure out a way to play a lot better and I am confident we will put out a good plan. There will be lot of urgency. We know what we're up against and we will try to put out our best game of the year."
The Steelers, meanwhile, have managed to win eight games in a row.
The NFL Betting Power Ratings suggest the line on this game should be a PICK’EM.
New England has won the last four in this series dating back to 2013.
