Big Ben Roethlisberger has just had no luck this offseason despite coming off his second Super Bowl victory. First he was accused of rape, which every superstar professional athlete seems to go through at one point or another in their career, and now he has suffered a leg injury in practice after a teammate fell on the quarterbackâs leg.
There is no question that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the favorites to repeat in the AFC this season. Tom Brady may be back and looking good already in the preseason, but the Steelers are stacked and relatively intact with key players like Big Ben, Santonio Holmes and James Harrison all back to defend their Super Bowl title.

There is no doubt in my mind though, the Steelers will have a tough time repeating as teams in the AFC and especially the NFC continue improve and get better. The stiffest competition for Pittsburgh in the AFC will always be the Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens and especially the New England Patriots. The NFC on the other hand do have some pretty good teams as well this season. Obviously being in the AFC the Steelers will not play NFC teams very often, but they will have their work cut out for them when it comes to it as the Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings are all title contenders this time around.
Regardless of their competition, the Pittsburgh Steelers will still be a great team and should be team to affect sports betting the most this season. Online betting will be booming with bets on Steelers to repeat as sports betting forum will be full of talks of a repeat.
