Thurs 8/28/08 NFL side play
8/28/08
Carolina Panthers @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Pit -4 (-110)
Rating: 5* (risking 5.5* to win 5*)
Analysis: Pretty basic here. Both teams come in at 2-1 but Carolina's two wins came at home. And it can be tough to win in Pittsburgh. Mushin Mohammed and DJ Hackett will see little if any playing time for Carolina due to injuries. Starters should play at least a half of ball here, and Big Ben already has a 102.8 QB rating this preseason, completing 70% of his pass attempts. Look for a diverse running game from the Steelers as Fast Willy Parker and Rashard Mendenhall jockey for their carrys and playing time. Carolina's defense is not good, too many holes. Play the Steelers as they get it done on both sides of the ball.
Good luck all!
