This weeks Monday night football installment features a sports betting game between two of the most storied teams in the history of the NFL when the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2, 3-4 ATS) square off against the Washington Redskins (6-2, 5-3 ATS) at FedEx Field.

Pittsburgh is coming off of a tough pro football betting 21-14 home loss to the Giants last Sunday. Meanwhile, Washington became the latest team to beat up on the hapless Detroit Lions, securing a 25-17 road victory that covered the NFL gambling line by a single point.

Pro Bowl QB Ben Roethlisberger had his worst game of the season last week against the Giants, only completing 13-of-29 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown while throwing four interceptions in the defeat. Along with the four interceptions, Roethlisberger was also sacked five times and only converted 1-of-10 third downs. Pitt’s offense also went 0-4 on 4th down conversion attempts.

With the loss of running backs Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall, free agent signing Mewelde Moore has stepped up large in his new role of starting running back, carrying the ball 56 times for 303 yards and three touchdowns in the Steelers’ L/3 games.

NFL bettors have seen mixed results when betting on Pittsburgh away from home, watching the Steelers go 3-1 SU but only 2-2 ATS per the closing pro football wagering odds.

As a home favorite this year, Redskins bettors have seen their team struggle against the NFL odds only managing a 1-2 ATS record. However, dating back to last year, the Redskins have posted an impressive pro football gambling record of 9-4 ATS over their past 13 games.

Leading the way for the Skins has been QB Jason Campbell who has completed over 66% of his passes for 1754 yards and eight touchdowns this season. More impressively, Campbell is the only starting quarterback that has yet to throw an interception this season. Last week against the Lions, his favorite target was WR Santana Moss who hauled in nine passes for 140 yards and a score. WR Moss was able to get it done on both offense and special teams, providing the Redskins with an 80 yard punt return touchdown that helped put them ahead for good.

Gamblers who bet on NFL football games to go under the ‘total’ should know that the under is 3-0-1 in the Redskins past four games.

Some NFL betting trends that highlight this game include the Steelers going 1-5 ATS by the pro football odds in their last six Monday night games, the Redskins going 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 games against a team with a winning record, and somewhat surprisingly, the ‘over’ has cashed in eight of the Steelers L/11 games.

Current NFL lines have Washington favored by 3-points in this pre-election night game with a ‘total’ of 37 points.
