“Return” should be the theme for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they start the 2020 NFL season.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is back after suffering a season-ending elbow injury during Week Two. Most PA sports betting apps have the 38-year-old as the favorite to win Comeback Player of the Year.
The Steelers also hope to get a repeat performance from their defense, which was one of the best in the league. The Steelers D was tied for fewest yards per play (4.7) and tops in turnovers (38).
The biggest return the Steelers are seeking is a return to the playoffs. Their last appearance was in 2017. They’ll start the journey on Monday night when they visit the New York Giants. PA sportsbooks have the Steelers as 6-point favorites, with the over/under set at 45.
