#453 ASA NFL PLAY ON 8* Pittsburgh +6.5 over Buffalo, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET - Too many points here. These 2 met last year and Buffalo was favored by just 2 points and picked up a 26-15 win helped by a 51-yards interception return for a TD. Now a year later we’re getting almost a full TD with a Pittsburgh team we expect to be better than last season. The Steelers began the last season 11-0 before faltering down the stretch and then losing in the wild card round of the playoffs. An aging Ben Roethlisberger played fairly well early in the year but struggled down the stretch throwing 10 of his 14 interceptions in the final 7 games (including playoff game). He should be rested, healthy and refreshed early in the season so we expect him to play well. He has 3 very good WR’s to throw to as well. Part of the Steelers offensive struggles last year was due to their terrible running game (last in the NFL). That all changes this year with first round pick RB Harris from Alabama stepping into the starters role. Defensively this team will be at the top of the league again this year. They are the best pass rushing team in the NFL and TJ Watt is now back in the line up. Buffalo is very good but possibly a bit overrated entering the season after last year’s successful run. They are favored by -6.5 in this game vs a playoff team from last season and last year they were favored by -6.5 or more just THREE times the entire regular season. Two times vs the Jets and once vs the Patriots. Pittsburgh has the BEST road underdog record over the last 6 seasons covering 15 of their 21 games in that situation. This one stays close and we’ll take the points.
