The Pittsburgh Steelers have beaten all their opponents on their field and even overcame a COVID-19 scare that put four players, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, on the reserve/COVID-19 list leading up to their Week 10 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Disruptions and a lack of practice didn’t matter for the Steelers, who easily defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 36-10. Playing like a man who won’t just settle for the Comeback Player of the Year Award, Roethlisberger threw for a season-high 333 yards and four touchdowns.
The 9-0 Steelers are off to the best start in franchise history and are +600 to win the Super Bowl, second to the Kansas City Chiefs, at PA sports betting apps.
For Week 11, the Steelers visit the 1-8 Jacksonville Jaguars. The Steelers opened as 10-point favorites. By Friday, the Steelers moved to a 10.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks apps in Pennsylvania. It’s the largest spread of any Week 11 game. The over/under is 46.5.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Jaguars betting preview
Rookie receiver Chase Claypool hauled in two of Roethlisberger’s touchdown passes. Diontae Johnson and JuJu Smith-Schuster caught the other two. The Steelers’ potent aerial attack made up for their anemic running game (44 total yards).
Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow experienced a rude welcome during his first game against the Steelers (four sacks, nine hits and four batted passes.) The Steelers are on an 11-game winning streak against the Bengals.
Against the Jaguars, the Steelers face another rookie quarterback without the fanfare. Sixth-round pick Jake Luton will be starting again in place of Gardner Minshew. Last week, the Jags were two-touchdown underdogs against the Green Bay Packers. They managed to keep it close at Lambeau Field before losing 24-20.
