After a Week 9 bye, the 6-2 Steelers enter Week 10 for a matchup against the 7-2 Washington Commanders.

In Week 8, the Steelers defeated the New York Giants 26-18. Pittsburgh had no problem getting yards on offense, but struggled to find the end zone with only one offensive touchdown. On defense, the Steelers once again held their opponent to under 20 points, but gave up several big plays to a struggling Giants offense.

On the injury front, the Steelers look to get healthier following the bye. Several key depth players such as outside linebacker Nick Herbig and running back Cordarrelle Patterson could be back for Week 10. Star rookie center Zach Frazier is also expected to return, which would be a massive boost for the Pittsburgh offensive line.

The Steelers’ record is surprisingly strong, but no team has defied preseason expectations more than the Commanders. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has led his offense to over 29 points per game, and he’s drawing some MVP buzz to go along with an expected Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In Week 9, the Commanders defeated the Giants 27-22.

Washington had to play the Giants without star running back Brian Robinson, but he’s expected to return against the Steelers. Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jonathan Allen was lost for the season with a torn pectoral in October. Still, Daron Payne and Dante Fowler Jr. will present a challenge for Pittsburgh up front.

Here’s a full look at the opening odds for Steelers vs. Commanders in Week 10.

Steelers vs. Commanders odds

Point spread: Commanders -2.5
Over/under: 44.5
Moneyline odds: Steelers +122, Commanders -144

The Commanders make sense as slim home favorites here, even if Pittsburgh should put up a good fight. More interesting is the 44.5-point over/under. It’s unusually high for a Steelers game, but with Washington’s high-octane attack and the Pittsburgh offense starting to improve, it’s a surprisingly reasonable number.
