Super Bowl 50 best bets
Dave Tuley
Pittsburgh Steelers: After Super Bowl XLIX on Feb. 1, I jumped on the Pittsburgh Steelers as my best bet to win Super Bowl 50 at odds of 20-1. It worked well for me two years ago when I tabbed the Seattle Seahawks at 12-1 (not so well last year with the Saints). Now, I've stuck to my guns and still like the Steelers to win it all -- and that's my official pick -- but I can't say it's the best bet on the board anymore.
The Steelers are 20-1, but they'll start the season without star running back Le'Veon Bell for the first two games (we knew that was coming). But we didn't know the Steelers would also be without No. 2 wide receiver Martavis Bryant for four games and center Maurkice Pouncey for the first half of the season. When everyone is back the Steelers' offense will be great, but I'm just not as confident that they'll secure a first-round bye in the AFC, so they're not as good of a value at the current price considering what we know now.
