The Pittsburgh Steelers have done enough to bump up their Super Bowl odds. Here’s where they stand entering Week 10 of the 2021 season.
Not many teams would have given the Pittsburgh Steelers a fighting chance at competing for the Super Bowl this season after beginning the year with a record of just 1-3. While every win has been decided by 8 points or fewer dating back to the second half of the 2020 season, Mike Tomlin’s team has made some headway after winning his fourth straight contest in Week 9.
Now set to enter a home game against the 0-8 Detroit Lions, it’s likely that Pittsburgh sits on a 6-3 record following Week 10. With the way things have been shaping up in the AFC — specifically the AFC North — it’s no surprise to see the Steelers get a boost in Super Bowl odds entering their 9th game of the season.
Steelers Super Bowl Odds
The current betting odds at WynnBET have the Steelers as +6000 odds to win the Super Bowl. While this might not seem significant, it’s a massive jump from where they were.
Just a few weeks ago before their road win over the Browns, Pittsburgh sat at +10000 odds to win it all. This was good for 18th-highest in the league below teams like the Vikings, Colts, and 49ers. Now the Steelers are tied for the 13th-best odds to win the Super Bowl in the NFL.
In addition to their win streak, the collapse of some of the top AFC teams has certainly played a factor in this. The Bills are just 5-3 after losing two of their last three contest (one of which losses came against the Jaguars), while the Ravens just lost a must-win game against the Dolphins.
On top of this, the Bengals have leveled off as of late, and the Chiefs and Browns haven’t performed nearly as well as most anticipated. Though the Steelers still have lower Super Bowl odds than most of the teams just mentioned, the door is really wide open in the American Football Conference, and Pittsburgh is on the rise.
While nobody is going to read too much into a win against arguably the worst team in the league this week, advancing to 6-3 and taking care of business handily could be enough to give Pittsburgh another sizable jump in Super Bowl odds — especially if more top NFL teams fall flat in Week 10.

It will be interesting to see just how much the Steelers climb if they are able to secure their fifth consecutive win this week, but their odds seem to be shooting up quickly.
