In Depth Analysis On The Steelers At Dolphins NFL Expert Predictions
When: Sunday, October 16 at 1 PM EST Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami TV: CBS Radio: WDVE and WQAM NFL Odds: TBAWhy bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers
Any team facing the Pittsburgh Steelers this season will find themselves in a bit of a quandary. Assuming that they can stop Bell and Williams in the run game, they are the also going to have to find a way to slow down Big Ben and the potent Steelers air attack. Roethlisberger has been putting up some big numbers once again, and the running game is delivering over 100 yards per game. The offense is spectacular, and the defense is play the bend but don’t break game to perfection. Pittsburgh has been tough against the run all season, which is bad news for a Dolphins team with no ground game to speak of.Why bet on the Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins are just 1-4 on the season, and that lone win came against the hapless Cleveland Browns. A big part of the problem for Miami has been their inability to move the ball with any degree of proficiency, especially on the ground where they have only managed to cross the 100-yard mark in a single game. Miami are going to have to rely on the arm of Ryan Tannehill in this one, and that might not be so bad if they had an offensive line that could offer up any sort of decent protection. Tannehill has already been sacked 17 times this season, and is likely to be facing wave after wave of Blitzburgh on Sunday.Expert Pick and Final Score Prediction
The Steelers are a solid 4-1 ATS this season, while the Dolphins have only managed to go 1-4 in that category. This looks to me to be a total mismatch, and the 7.5-point spread also looks like a bit of a gift. The Steelers are going to pound the rock early and often, and I expect them to pile on the misery all day long.Pittsburgh Steelers 42 Miami Dolphins 17
