Believe it or not, the Pittsburgh Steelers were underdogs at the NFL betting window on Sunday, September 12, 2010 when they hosted Matt Ryan and the Falcons at Heinz Field.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had their top two quarterbacks on the shelf with Ben Roethlisberger suspended and Byron Leftwich out with a knee injury. Mike Tomlin's squad started Dennis Dixon under center for Sunday's NFL season-opener against the Atlanta Falcons, who were 3-1, SU and ATS, in their four games last season against AFC foes.
Four months earlier, sportsbooks opened the Steelers as one-point home favorites, while first setting the 'total' at 41. Early NFL betting action had made Pittsburgh shift to be a two-point dog, with the 'total' traveling south to 37 ½.
The Steelers won the game, 15-9.
they were last home under dogs in 2001 when they lost all games but 2.
that was not their best season obviously but everybody has to start from somewhere right?!
