i think Pitts defense will be way too much for Miami

and Pitts offense hasnt lost that much

Pitts 24 Miami 13

Another one that will be closer than the prediction... 21-17 seems about right. Now if I could only decide who's the 21 and who's the 17. -- Guess I'll chalk this one up as a "pick 'em" as both teams seem pretty evenly matched to me.

I'd be surprised if Miami could walk in here and win this game.

I going to have to pick Pittsburgh, as long as Roethlisberger plays.

As you all know, he had to have his appendix removed in an emergency. I hope he fully recovers and doesn't attract food poisening from the gross hospital food.

Ben will NOT play. He's out for at least one game, more likely 2-3.

the Steelers went 2-0 last year with Batch, they will still win this game

I really don't have a large basis of info to pick but I'm going with the upset and Miami. They'll be on the road (in what probably will end up being the reason why they would lose) but Daunte has a lot to prove to the NFL.

[ThePundit]

Like I said, even with Batch I'd be shocked if Miami could walk in here and steal a game from the Super Bowl champs on opening night on national TV. Later in the year might be a different story, but not tonight.
