Can you please rewrite your request?

Following their bye week, the Detroit Lions find themselves once again in the same position as before their one-week break: being labeled as underdogs, this time against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The winless, 0-8 Lions will once again attempt to secure their first victory of the season on Sunday, despite odds that suggest it will be a challenging task.

According to BetRivers Sportsbook, Caesars, and DraftKings, Michigan sportsbooks predict that the 9th game will follow the trend of the previous eight games. The Detroit team is expected to face a 9-point disadvantage as the Steelers host the 1 p.m. EST game at Heinz Field.

On Saturday afternoon, the number had decreased to 7.5 points at certain locations, such as DraftKings.

Despite starting the season with a record of 0-8, the Lions have managed to cover the spread in four out of those eight games. If their alternating pattern of covering the spread every other week remains consistent, it suggests that the Lions might cover the spread in the upcoming game. On the other hand, leading up to Monday night, the Pittsburgh team had a record of 4-3.

At most sportsbooks, the total points for the over/under is set at 43.5.

During the summer season, bookmakers set a betting line of Steelers -7.5 for this particular game.

Detroit Lions at Pittsburgh Steelers Odds: NFL Week 10

Lions flirting with 0-17 season, according to oddsmakers

The odds are against the Lions winning against the Steelers, and even more so for them winning any game this season.

Following their devastating loss to Pennsylvania’s opposing team in Week 8, oddsmakers set the line at or close to +500, indicating the unlikely possibility of the Lions ending the season with a flawless record of 0-17.

At the same time, sportsbooks were offering Detroit at odds of +340 to win the game against Pittsburgh.

While securing the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft may be the ultimate objective of the season, it is also significant to strive towards avoiding a repetition of the winless 2008 season.

In their most recent match, the Lions suffered a devastating defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles, losing by a staggering margin of 44-6. Despite their occasional commendable performances, Detroit’s first-year coach Dan Campbell and his team have encountered two disappointing outings in their last three games.

No matter the circumstances, the Steelers consistently outshine the lowly Lions, reaffirming their reputation as the dominant force they are.

Pittsburgh’s seasoned quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, will guide the team as they face off against the Chicago Bears on Monday night, and then shift their focus towards the upcoming match against Detroit.

There is a possibility that the line could experience significant changes leading into Week 10, depending on the outcome of the featured game on ESPN this week.
