Ben Roethlisberger Placed On COVID-19 List, Causing Shift In Steelers-Lions NFL Odds

Please rephrase the following statement:<br><br>”The cat is sitting on the mat.”

Ben Roethlisberger, the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been added to the COVID-19/Reserve list, ruling him out of the Steelers’ Week 10 NFL match against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Multiple national outlets reported the news late on Saturday night, which was later confirmed by a statement from the Steelers. As soon as the announcement was made, several Michigan sports betting operators temporarily took down the NFL odds line for the game.

The restored line had reached a near consensus by 8:30 p.m. ET Saturday, with Pittsburgh being favored by 6.5 points.

When the Roethlisberger announcement was made, the Steelers were favored by 7.5 to 8.5 points at most Michigan sportsbooks. The moneyline odds for the Steelers ranged from -360 to -385, while the winless Lions were considered underdogs with odds between +280 and +300.

Once the odds are reinstated, you will find the latest numbers in our tracker below.

Mason Rudolph starting on short notice for Steelers

Having won four consecutive games, the Steelers (5-3) face an unforeseen hurdle in the AFC playoff race as they rely on backup Mason Rudolph to start the game at short notice.

These developments add an additional complication for those who have been placing small bets on the Lions’ 0-17 futures odds. These odds had dropped to longer than +600 during the recent bye week.

While having the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft might be the silver lining for the disappointing Lions season, it is crucial to strive for a better outcome than the winless 2008 campaign led by Rod Marinelli.

Before their bye, the Lions suffered a crushing defeat in their latest game against the Philadelphia Eagles, with a final score of 44-6. Throughout the season, Detroit’s first-year coach, Dan Campbell, has witnessed his team’s sporadic success, occasionally managing to meet the spread in their eight games thus far. Unfortunately, the players wearing the Honolulu blue have experienced two disappointing performances in their recent outings.

The game on Sunday will commence at 1 p.m. at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. It will be broadcasted on Fox, featuring Chris Myers and Daryl Johnston as the commentators.
