NFL sports betting odds: Pittsburgh Steelers a huge favorite on Monday Night Football

When the NFL schedulers slated Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals for the prime-time “Monday Night Football” slot in week nine, they were surely expecting a more competitive AFC North fight between these two teams.

As it stands, though, the division’s defending champion Bengals are a lowly 2-5 and on a four-game losing streak.

Online sportsbooks BetUS, Brobury Sports and bet365 have the Steelers as a relatively huge six-point favorite despite status as visiting team, and why not? With Ben Roethlisberger reinstalled at quarterback, Pittsburgh is humming along and in the thick of the race to take the Lombardi Trophy in the Super Bowl: Along with the Jets, Giants, Patriots, Packers and Colts, the Steelers are 7/1 at BroburySports to win the big game in 2011.

Of course, even if the Bengals are on the wrong side of the scoreboard (as has been the case so often this season), many eyes will remain on Terrell Owens, who’s suddenly looking about seven years younger and stretching the field as is his wont. Among bet365 online sportsbook’s many proposition bets on this game, T.O. gets the best odds to score at anytime in the game at 5/6 and he’s third-highest on the table to score the first TD.
