Mike Tomlin leads the Steelers as their head coach. Last season, the Steelers had a 10-7 record and reached the Wild Card round in the postseason. Their preseason record this year stands at 1-1, showing competitive form as they face the Panthers.

Final Betting Pick

The Steelers are favored at -213 for a reason. They have a better preseason record and a solid defense. Their defense ranks 11th in opponent score and 2nd in fumbles recovered. This makes them a strong choice against the Panthers, who have not won a game yet.

The under 36.5 at -122 is also a smart pick. The Panthers have only scored 13 points in two games. The Steelers’ defense is tough, and the Panthers’ offense ranks low in scoring and rushing yards. This suggests a low-scoring game.
