What’s your confidence level in the Pittsburgh Steelers for the coming season? A prominent sports gambling website perhaps is higher on the Steelers than you’d might think.
BetOnline.ag’s NFL futures win totals for each team have been updated since the end of free agency. The site bumped up the Steelers’ line from 9 to 9 ½. What’s notable about that is that only four teams have more projected wins — the Baltimore Ravens (11 ½), Kansas City Chiefs (11 ½), San Francisco 49ers (10 ½) and New Orleans Saints (10).
The Steelers are among a group with four other teams (the Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles) at 9 ½.
Will you need more than 2 hands to count the @49ers' regular-season wins?

The Steelers won nine and eight games, respectively, the past two seasons, missing the playoffs each time. Their additions in free agency included fullback Derek Watt, tight end Eric Ebron and interior offensive lineman Stefan Wisniewski.
BetOnline last season pegged the Steelers’ over/under win total at nine.
The Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers are tied for the lowest win total (5 ½). The Steelers’ remaining AFC North rival, the Cleveland Browns, are at 8 ½ — a modest jump from the line of 8 set last month.
