The New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers line has moved up a half point to -3 in favor of the Pats at most online sportsbooks and in Las Vegas. Most of the books moved a half point up on the 24th.
The Patriots would pay $325 for every $100 bet if they win the 2012 Super Bowl while the Steelers would pay very favorable 8/1 odds or $790 for every $100 bet. These odds will be updated, so lock them in now here.
This is expected to be among the most wagered on games of the NFL Week 8.
Probably the most important thing to consider when betting the Patriots-Steelers game is this, courtesy of ESPN.com:
Including the playoffs, Pittsburgh (5-2) has won 16 of 21 home games, outscoring opponents by an average of 12.3 points in those victories.
That hasn't been the case against New England (5-1), which has won five of its last six games in Pittsburgh with Brady primarily responsible for that stunning success in one of the most intimidating environments in the NFL.
The Patriots are 6-1 overall against the Steelers when Brady starts, and he's guided them to four wins in five visits to Heinz Field and most notably, two conference championships. Brady completed 30 of 43 passes for 350 yards and three touchdowns while scampering for another score in a 39-26 victory at Pittsburgh last November.
