The Pittsburgh Steelers odds to win the 2009 Super Bowl were set at +350 or a whole point better than their Sunday opponent, the Tennessee Titans. Bookmaker.com was still offering these Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl odds Saturday morning. A win against the Titans will almost surely mean the Steelers odds will be slashed further so Gambling911.com strongly suggests locking the Pittsburgh odds in now before the payout gets slimmer, assuming of course you believe the Steelers can win the 2009 Super Bowl (as many of our readers do).
The AFC's No. 1 playoff seed will effectively be on the line Sunday in Nashville, where the injury-plagued Tennessee Titans can wrap up the conference's top spot or the Steelers can put themselves on the brink of doing the same with a sixth consecutive win.
The Pittsburgh Steelers guaranteed a first-round bye and home playoff game with a division-clinching road win in their last game.
With another victory away from Heinz Field this week, they likely won't have to play a road game again this season.
The Steelers were a -2 road favorite at Bookmaker.com against Tennessee Sunday.
Tennessee has enjoyed success against Pittsburgh in this series, having won 3 of their last 4 (they were blown out by the Steelers in 2005 however).
The Steelers are also 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite of 0.5-3.0.
The Titans are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a Straight Up loss and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. AFC.
Tennessee is reeling after losing to Houston and witnessing a scary left knee injury to its best defensive player, DT Albert Haynesworth. Pittsburgh won a street fight in Baltimore to post the AFC's second-best record, clinch a first-round bye and win the AFC North. The Steelers have the No. 1 defense in football and will head to Tennessee intent on stopping QB Kerry Collins, RB Chris Johnson and the Titans' No. 19-ranked offense. Tennessee defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz has had several issues along the defensive line this season and now must adjust quickly to life without Haynesworth for the next couple of weeks.
