My brain tells me that the Steelers match up well against the Pats.

I want to pick Steelers, but with a gun to my head I will probably have to go with the Pats.

27-12 Pats.

Should be a good match up, and a great game.

Steelers can not score enough points to beat the Pats.

our d isnt exactly stellar especially the RZ which is as good as a TD right now and cassel needs to continue to protect the football .pts can be scored many ways. .

Have you seen our Defense lately? I think the question will be whether or not we can score enough points on them.

The Steelers seems to bring the best out of the Patriots. I see no way the Patriots lose. The past few weeks the Steelers have had trouble scoring. Teams have some success against the Steelers when they spread the offense out.

They won't need a whole lot with that D of theirs.

yes,thats why i think its a bigger test for cassel. Brady was the best at setting up the pass protectiion and hard counts and picking up the blitz.even he got pressured once in a while. this will be the challenge for cassel too.
