So a $20 bet placed on the Steelers over the Eagles would have a payout of $104 ($84 plus the original $20 bet). The Eagles have a current moneyline of -540, or 5/27 odds. Therefore the same $20 bet placed on Philadelphia to win straight up would have a payout of $23.70 ($3.70 plus the original $20 bet).

The Steelers are 2-5 against the spread in their last 7 games played against the Eagles and are 1-7 against the spread in their last 8 games against the NFC. The Steelers also have gone UNDER in 5 of their last 7 games and have gone UNDER in 4 of their last 5 games played against the NFC East.

As for winning the AFC North, the Steelers are currently at 40/1 odds behind the Browns at 20/1 odds, the Bengals at 17/10, and the Ravens as the favorite at 5/9 odds.
