This is a 10* SLUG-FEST on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Carolina is 2-0, it would beat Tampa Bay 20-14 on the road, before then beatting Detroit 24-7 last week. After opening Week 1 with a win, the Steelers will be looking to rebound here after a listless 26-6 loss at Baltimore on Thursday; Ben Roethlisberger was 22 of 37 for 217 yards. The Steelers defense will will be looking to take advantage of a Panthers team which is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry, which is down significantly from last season's 4.2 mark. So why the drop off you ask? A big reason why is because DeAngelo Williams has been out due to a thigh injury, Jonathan Stewart carried the ball 15 times for just 37 yards last week; note that Williams is likely going to play today, but certainly he won't be at 100%. It's a daunting task for any team in facing the stout Panthers defense, but the Steelers will hammer and test that front seven, RB Le'Veon Bell has proved to be a bright spot for the team in averaging 5.3 yards per carry and his 304 yards from scrimmage ranks second in the NFL. From a statistical standpoint, it's important to note that Pittsburgh is 6-5 ATS in its last 11 as an underdog, while Carolina is just 3-4 ATS in its last seven non-conference contests. There was a lot of hype surrounding the upgrades to the Steelers offense in the offseason and so far they haven't performed, but I think this is the perfect stage. I'm expecting a battle down to the end, and as such, will grab as many points as I can get; play on PITTSBURGH.
