Having to interchange a probable Corridor of Fame quarterback would trigger panic amongst most fan bases. Apparently not with Steelers bettors, FOX Wager affiliate dealer Steven Hemke stated.

Time for Kenny Pickett to be named Steelers beginning QB? | THE HERD
Hear why Colin Cowherd believes it’s ‘time to start out Pickett now.’
The Steelers have received the Tremendous Bowl six occasions, tied with the New England Patriots for many in historical past.
However bettors like Pittsburgh’s possibilities to win No. 7 this season, regardless that the Steelers’ final Tremendous Bowl win got here through the 2008 season – rookie receiver George Pickens was 7 years outdated when Pittsburgh final received the Tremendous Bowl.
“You form of have two factions betting the Steelers,” stated Ben Fawkes, VSiN Vice President of Digital Content material. “First, you had individuals speculating very early on that with Massive Ben retiring, perhaps Deshaun Watson finally ends up touchdown there. It is form of like what you have seen in different sports activities when LeBron James was first a free agent – he had the flexibility to alter the chances for his new crew.
“From speaking to bookmakers, a variety of that is additionally from public accumulation – individuals betting $10 right here, $50 there. It is smart, as Mike Tomlin has by no means had a dropping season. The worst he is had is 8-8.”
With Massive Ben, the Steelers made the postseason 12 occasions, posting a 13-10 playoff mark.
“This franchise has been very constant, due to Massive Ben making the playoffs virtually each season,” Hemke stated. “The Steelers are an enormous public crew.”
To switch Roethlisberger, the Steelers drafted quarterback Kenny Pickett from close by Pitt with the No. 20 choose.
“This crew has many holes to fill alongside clearly at QB and alongside the offensive line,” Hemke said. “The Steelers draft properly, however I don’t even see them making the playoffs until Pickett, who appears to play higher than he practices, can ‘wow’ as a rookie this season.”
One of the dependable maxims in soccer is it is troublesome to win with no good quarterback. The Steelers must discover a dependable alternative for Roethlisberger.
“It is at all times troublesome when you’ve got a quarterback competitors happening,” Fawkes stated. “If the Steelers actually had a quarterback of the long run in Mason Rudolph, they would not have introduced in (Mitchell) Trubisky after which drafted Pickett.
“Typically, if you must choose between two quarterbacks, you’ve got none.”
Fawkes and Hemke agree that the Steelers face a troublesome path to the postseason. Not solely is Pittsburgh in a aggressive division, however additionally they count on there to be a logjam of groups battling for wild-card spots within the AFC.
“There’s heaps to work with there. I believe persons are taking a shot regardless that the AFC North is a troublesome division,” Fawkes stated. “There’s a lot indecision this 12 months. Folks assume anybody can win in that division so the Steelers at 10-1 is smart.”
However, as Fawkes identified, you by no means know for certain with sports activities betting – that is the No. 1 maxim.
“I can see worth at 100-1 (to win the Tremendous Bowl) and taking a shot at it,” Fawkes stated. “It may occur. Definitely, crazier issues have occurred.”
