After coming up short in their season opener the Pittsburgh Steelers will get a second chance at a first win on Sunday afternoon as they play host to the San Francisco 49ers at Heinz Field as clear betting favorites on the NFL odds.
The Steelers lost 28-21 to the Patriots in the Thursday night opener in Week 1, playing that game without suspended running back Le'Veon Bell, who won't be eligible to play against the Niners this weekend either. In his absence DeAngelo Williams ran for 127 yards on 21 carries against New England.
Niners supporters could be looking at UNDER trends for this matchup on Sunday, as the UNDER is 3-0 in San Francisco's last three games on the road and 5-1 in the team's last six games away from home in the month of September.
