Today’s Thursday Night Football will mark the beginning of Week 7 of the NFL regular season, so the Pittsburgh Steelers will prepare knowing that they will be in the spotlight on the upcoming Sunday Night Football, where they will try to continue to improve their 2-4 record as they visit the Miami Dolphins.
Pittsburgh managed to end a negative streak of four consecutive losses last week by defeating Super Bowl candidates, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-18, and will next visit a team in the doldrums, the Dolphins.
Will it be able to stay on this track? At JefeBet we present you the Pittsburgh Steelers odds for their next game, as well as their future bets for this NFL 2022 season compared to the previous week.

Predictions, Odds and Betting Preview for Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 7 of the 2022 NFL season
Moneyline (+240 from BetMGM)
Starting as an underdog has been commonplace for the Pittsburgh Steelers every week, although after the win over Buccaneers, underestimating them could be a bad decision.
That win against Tampa Bay ended a streak of three consecutive losses, and they will be looking to prove the bookmakers wrong once again.
Spread (+7 from BetMGM)
Seven points marks the spread between the two teams for this match. However, this may be too high considering several factors.
The first is that the Dolphins have lost their last three games and allowed more than 20 points in all of them. The second is that Miami will also have the return of Tua Tagovailoa, who has recovered from his concussion. The third is that the Steelers defense has been pretty solid, as evidenced last week.
We also note that the Steelers won in their last two clashes against the Dolphins in 2019 and 2017, even if the reality is somewhat different from back then.
Over/Under (44.5 from BetMGM)
The point total for this match is fairly standard as it is not clear what could happen.
As mentioned, the Dolphins’ defense has been very forgiving, with opponents scoring over 20 points in the last three weeks, and while the team has not looked good on offense, the return of Tagovailoa could help.
While the Steelers lost 38-3 to the Bills not too long ago, they have only allowed more than 20 points in two of their six games to date, which shows the good job done on defense, although their offense has been too erratic and could have trouble scoring points to bid for an over.

Pittsburgh Steelers Future Odds
Over/Under wins for the season: Over 5.5(-110 by DraftKings) / Under 4.5(-110 by DraftKings)
Pittsburgh’s unexpected win in Week 6 raised its total from 4.5 to 5.5 on DraftKings, which is unusual considering this one has only gone down since the regular season began.
This matchup against the Dolphins could be accessible, and surely the result will directly affect this bet again, especially considering that they will soon have to face the undefeated Eagles before their bye in Week 9.
AFC North Champions (+3300 from BetMGM)
Is there hope? After their latest win, the Steelers’ odds to win the American Conference North division went from +3300 to +2200, and while the win helped add to the positive side of their record, they still remain stuck at the bottom of their division.
A win in this matchup would make this odd decrease even more since after their bye they will have more accessible games, and the fact that the first and second in the division have a 3-3 record would make Pittsburgh’s season change in case they get a positive result.
AFC Champions (+12500 BetMGM)
This is an odd that also decreased from +15000 to +12500 after last week, although they remain the second underdog to win the American Conference, only ahead of Texans.
While dreaming of winning the division is acceptable, winning the conference is somewhat far-fetched, as there are teams like the Chiefs and Bills that are light years ahead of the Steelers at the moment.
Steelers win Super Bowl(+25000 from BetMGM)
If winning the Conference against heavyweights looks complicated, let alone winning the Super Bowl, if they reach that stage, of course.
Pittsburgh is in a transitional stage, and the franchise is not in a position to contend for this goal even though the bookmakers have decreased the value of this odds by +5000, so betting on this market looks like a mere leap of faith.
