A monstrous defensive performance in Week 1 helped the Steelers pull off a massive upset against the Bengals as 6.5-point underdogs. This week, as underdogs again, Pittsburgh will look to lean on its defense once more for a 2-0 start. That will be easier said than done, though, without Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt.
The Patriots leaned on a similar defense-first game plan last week but failed to come up with a win. They did hold a newly dynamic offense in Miami down to just 13 points. However, two turnovers in New England's first three drives put it too far back for their defense to carry.
In an NFL that’s built on speed and burst, the Patriots and Steelers will provide a unique and classic smash-mouth game. Typically, the under is where you should turn in these circumstances, but that line has moved from 43.5 to 40.5. Let's see if we can find an edge on the spread instead.
