I wish I shared your confidence :)

Unless Bellichick corrects a LOT of stuff in a short week, the Pats are probably going to lose. If he does, and the Pats are up for a strong opponent, it could be a blowout...but there's a lot to fix.

Pats have a big issue that no one is talking about and that is the subpar performance of Richard Seymour. If he is gettting blocked, turned and pushed then that is a much different defensive unit.

Agreed. I think the Pats are tired, for one.

Nope, my Steelers are hosed. The offensive line has been crap all season and simply won’t be able to handle the Pats front 7, the secondary has been so-so for years and will get torched by the Moss-Stalworth-Welker combo, and to make it all worse the team has been playing like crap on the road all year (except the Browns game). The Pats are going to walk all over the Steelers like cleat cleaners. I’ll happily be proven wrong but given the performances I’ve seen this year I just don’t see it happening.
