Steelers starting quarterback odds in week 1 of 2021 season

As I have learned in recent years, it is possible to bet on almost anything. I no longer need to find a buddy willing to shake up to ‘put my money where my mouth is’ when it comes to almost anything sports. Whether it’s championships, draft picks, runs scored, or just about anything crazy you can think of, there’s a good chance you can find a place online to place a bet.

If you’re looking to bet on who the Steelers starting quarterback will be in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season, odds are already available at SportsBettingDime.com. Granted, they don’t have the odds for every team as franchises that seem to have their quarterbacks set in stone, like the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and teams of that nature. But for 19 of the 32 NFL teams that have an aging quarterback or job uncertainty, there are opportunities to bet on the team’s incumbent for Week 1 of 2021.

As for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with a quarterback who is close to turning 39 in the offseason, to say there are questions for next season would be correct. Even after throwing 500 yards in a playoff game, there are parts of Ben Roethlisberger’s game where age has caught up with him. So while he is entering what would be his 18th season and 17th as a planned Week 1 starter, the coming weeks will tell more about Roethlisberger’s story in 2021.

While there are plenty of questions, Roethlisberger is still the odds favorite to start for the Steelers in 2021 at odds of 4/7. Roethlisberger is the only Steelers player to have negative odds (meaning the payout would not double the initial bet). If one were to bet $ 100 on Roethlisberger from Week 1 of the Steelers next season, the payout would be $ 150.14 with a profit less than the original bet.

What’s interesting about the situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks is that they had the second-most roster on the roster with chances of being a starter next year with six players. different. The only team with more quarterbacks registered than the Steelers was the New England Patriots who had 10 players that punters could bet with to be their starter for Week 1 of 2021.

As many might expect, the best chances of being the Steelers starter in Week 1 belong to Mason Rudolph with odds of 5/2. The same $ 100 bet placed on Rudolph to be the Steelers starter next year would net a payout of $ 350 if that was the case.

Among the other names listed for the Steelers, the one who hasn’t had traction in much of Steelers Nation is Jimmy Garoppolo. While the Jets’ Sam Darnold is more likely to be the Steelers starter next season than Garoppolo, at least his name has been mentioned in some circles when it comes to the Steelers in 2021.

It should be noted that one player missing from the list of possible 2021 starting quarterbacks for the Pittsburgh Steelers is current third-string quarterback Josh Dobbs.

Here’s the full roster of players and their odds of being the Steelers starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season according to SportsBettingDime.com:

Pittsburgh Steelers

1. BEN ROETHLISBERGER: 4/7 (-175)
2. MASON RUDOLPH: 5/2 (+250)
3. SAM DARNOLD: 65/1 (+6500)
4. JIMMY GAROPPOLO: 75/1 (+7500)
5. DWAYNE HASKINS: 90/1 (+9,000)
6. JAMEIS WINSTON: 150/1 (+15,000)
7. FIELD: 28/1

* NOTE: odds were determined prior to any coaching change by the Steelers

Sam Darnold appears on four other team rosters as a possible 2021 starter, with his biggest chances being the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos, all of whom were higher than his odds of being with. the Steelers. Jimmy Garoppolo appeared on two other rosters other than the Steelers and was the best odds for the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots.

While many teams also included odds with quarterbacks that could be drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Steelers roster did not include any of those quarterbacks as the 24th pick appears to be out of the running for the other players listed.
