NFL Odds: Steelers Battle for AFC North Supremacy

Caught up in a raging battle for the AFC North Division lead, the 9-3 Pittsburgh Steelers will welcome the opportunity to pry a win away from the Cleveland Browns on Thursday. They currently share the top spot with rival Baltimore.

Get your NFL odds for the looming playoff hunt with Bodog.

Although the Steelers have already yielded the playoff tie-breaker to the Ravens, they can avoid disappointment at the end of the season by finishing with a distinctly better record. Such playoff implications are what make games like the one this week some of the most intriguing on the NFL betting board.

The Browns may not have the opportunity to climb back into the playoff picture in time, but aren't to be taken lightly. If Ben Roethlisberger and Mike Tomlin can instill a sense of urgency in Pittsburgh, though, then a win is well within reach.

Even though the Steelers have seen their odds of winning the Super Bowl fluctuate this season, they've emerged as the consistent threat fans expected them to be, even after a disastrous Week 1 suggested that there may be a power shift brewing in the AFC North.

Now, as the season reaches maturity Pittsburgh looks to be as big of a force on the NFL odds board as anyone.

Bet on the 2011 NFL Season with Bodog.

If you thought Week 13 Monday Night Football game was not a great matchup, this week may be one of the worst possible as a fan or as a bettor. With Bradford and Feeley both being questionable, and the fact that the game is on the West Coast this game is pacing to be the lowest bet Monday Night Football game since I have been at Bodog (which is over ten years)."
