Someone is trying to create a story line about a chip on the shoulder from Vegas. That line means Pitt is about a 3pt favorite on a neutral field and that is where almost everyone would project.
The Steelers usually go 6-2 at home (or at least the last 3 years I checked). They lost to Dallas and the Patriots at home last year two playoff teams and the SB champ.
Great test for this young offense vs a good Steeler D that had a weakness in the secondary but then signed Joe Haden right before the season started. The OL is going to get tested much more then vs the Saints and Sam is going to have to take advantage of the blitz.
Defensively Rhodes on Brown is huge and I still think Rhodes will need Safety help - Brown is the best WR in football right now and is so allusive with the ball, like a jitterbug in the open field. But if we can stop Bell with his rust and double Brown ...and protect Sam, we can win this game of course
No easy task but a really nice early test for this team playing one of the AFC's best.
