If the NFL preseason were a playoff race, the Steelers would be headed to the Super Bowl right now. While it’s important not to read too much into exhibition performances, Pittsburgh has done quite well this summer, starting the preseason with a 3-0 record (including the Hall of Fame Game).
When their starters took the field in the first half against the Detroit Lions last week, things went swimmingly as the Steelers outscored their opponent 20-0 in the first two-quarters of action. Now, they’ll play at Carolina for their final preseason game, which should feature mostly second and third string players. So far, it would have been wise to bet on the Steelers winning each of their first three matchups.

Why bet the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers built a 23-0 lead through three quarters against the Detroit Lions last Saturday before settling for a 26-20 victory. Pittsburgh has still covered two of its three preseason games despite Detroit earning the back cap. The Steelers have been one of the best teams in the preseason so far. They have won all three of their games and will look to be the only team with four wins this preseason.
Why bet the Carolina Panthers
The Panthers struggled in a 20-3 loss last weekend to the visiting Baltimore Ravens. They have managed just 1 touchdown on 5 field goals in two preseason outings.
Carolina looked good in week one, but they completely fell apart in their second game against the Baltimore Ravens. Head coach Matt Rhule will look to get his team back on track in the final test before the regular season.
Final betting analysis between Rams and Raiders
The Steelers have won each of their first three games this summer, but I’m not sure if I’d assume they’ll come away with this contest. Early reports suggest that the Panthers still intend to play most of their starters, while Pittsburgh will deploy their second string to start the game. Additionally, Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph have been ruled out for this game. While Pittsburgh has competent backup quarterbacks in Dwayne Haskins and Josh Dobbs that could lead this team to points, they likely won’t be able to overcome the talent gap of playing against the Panthers starters.
Judging from the information we have so far, I think taking the Panthers to cover the spread is a pretty solid bet with reasonably good odds (-115). I would avoid betting the point total this week which is set at 36.0 points.
