New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Free Pick

New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Free Pick: The Steelers have climbed out of the cellar they fell into after getting smashed by the Ravens to open the season, and now they’re playing better football, running it a couple weeks ago, and throwing the ball all over the Cardinals last week – maybe they are back in Superman gear?
Either that or they’ve just been playing lesser teams. I know the Cardinals fit into that category, and I’m pretty sure the Jaguars (despite their defensive beatdown of the Ravens) and the Tennessee Titans (before their ridiculously good start) also fit into that category. Houston’s the only good team they’ve played since the Ravens slapped them around in Week 1, and what do you know, the Texans beat the Steelers.

I’m not saying it’s a guarantee or anything, I mean, the Steelers still know how to play good football and win games, but they aren’t the same team they’ve been in the past, and even if they were, Tom Brady has beaten them 4 out of the last 4 times he’s suited up against them. Guess what, Tom’s suiting up against them this week.
Also, and I don’t want to add fuel to my fire, because it looks like most of the public is rocking the Patriots this week in Pittsburgh, but New England was on a bye last week and that’s two weeks for Tom Magnificent to sit in a film room and figure out ways to destroy a shaky secondary. Yeah, I like the Patriots’ chances.
