Last couple years, Pitt has looked extremely vulnerable on the road and although they put up 28 on weekend, for 3 quarters Cleveland held this team at bay in Pittsburgh. That said, Miami allowed New England to make big plays on special teams and their defence look better than it is, Pitts is an upgrade from that. Miami wanting first win at home is a big factor imo, but i think this is a turnover driven game, so I lean Pitt, but it won't be pretty. Line is right as this is toughest game on board imo. Too many extenuating factors here.

I have a feeling Henne will have a hard time against this Steelers defense. I am not entirely sold on him being a #1 QB in this league. Although McCoy had a good completion percentage, I think he will have a hard time. Pittsburgh will contain the ground game, and it will be a very close, 1 possession game.

I am not sure who to take at this stage yet, but for every reason why I like Pittsburgh, you can make a good case why Miami will win too. For starters, they will be jacked playing at home, and wanting this first home win.

I like the over in this match-up. Pittsburgh DB's are not all that and the Steelers should be able to move on Miami.

Miami's too committed to pushing the run, and Pittsburgh can stop the run.
Krustyberger is a solid passer (even though I'm not a fan) and could expose that Miami secondary.

I don't know if I like the over here, but a win on the road is possible. Steelers may be the best team in the league right now.

There have been some great games this year, but I think this could top them all. Miami has been unbelievable for me both on/against this year, and right now I lean on taking the points (4). Very tough to do though when you have a average (at best) QB against that steeler defense though.
