New England Patriots vs Pittsburgh Steelers Odds

• Opening point spread: Steelers -6
• Opening moneyline: Steelers TBA/Patriots TBA
• Opening total: Over/Under 32.5 points scored
• Time: 8:15 p.m. ET Thursday (Prime)

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: New England (2-10 SU and ATS) is clearly now in the business of playing – and losing – ugly games. In Week 13, the Patriots gave up just two second-quarter field goals. But the Pats got shut out 6-0 as 4.5-point home underdogs to the L.A. Chargers.

New England has just 13 points across its last three games. The Patriots lost to the Giants 10-7 and the Colts 10-6.

Pittsburgh (7-5 SU and ATS) closed as a 6-point home favorite against Arizona and struck first with an early field goal. But the Steelers then allowed the next 24 points in a 24-10 loss.

Steelers QB Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury late in the first half. He's having a surgical procedure Monday and is expected to miss two to four weeks.

Pats-Steelers isn't exactly a riveting matchup, as reflected by the minuscule total. And that number is already down a point at The SuperBook, to 31.5.

"We felt like we couldn't make this total low enough," SuperBook risk supervisor Chase Michaelson said. "Depressing home losses for both teams today. Who knows who's playing QB for either team? Who cares? At some point, we expect New England's defense to crack and allow some points. This could be the game. This ain't exactly Brady-Roethlisberger."

The spread ticked up to Pittsburgh -6.5 a few minutes after opening, but returned to -6 tonight.
