The Steelers have a new quarterback in Mitch Trubisky.
It’s believed Trubisky signed with the Steelers under the intention that he will be the starter when the 2022 season begins.
Well, after that move new odds show the Steelers have a worse shot of winning the Super Bowl after the move.
FanDuel had the Steelers’ odds at 55/1 before the signing. Now it’s at 70/1.
That just shows how little odds makers and others feel about Trubisky.
It’s rare that a team improves their current quarterback and their odds go down, but it also happened last week.
After trading for Carson Wentz from the Indianapolis Colts, the Washington Commanders odds fell from 60/1 to 75/1.
