St. Louis Rams Open as Week 3 Betting Underdogs vs Steelers
Coming off of a 43 point performance, the Steelers will bring their show on the road where the total has gone UNDER in five of their last seven games. They'll look to get an added boost as running back Le'Veon Bell will return to the lineup after serving a two-game suspension.
The Rams will be attempting to put an end to an 0-4 SU skid in their last four home games against the AFC North. In their last eight games against the NFC West the Steelers have fared well, going 7-1 SU and 6-2 ATS.
After a disappointing 10-point performance, the Rams will hope to take advantage of a porous Steelers secondary that has allowed six receiving touchdowns this season.
