Even though Kenyon Drake was going to be traded when it was announced last night that he wouldn't make the trip, I actually think that's a good thing for this total. Now Miami really doesn't have a RB so that should make them almost have to throw, later if not sooner. On the flip side, Pittsburgh scored at least 20 points in every game except that opener at New England, and scored 24 at the Chargers with Devlin Hodges at QB. Miami's defense is last in the league in points allowed, so this all comes down, in my opinion, to how many the Dolphins score. After scoring just 16 points in their first three games (with Rosen) they put up 16 against Washington (who has a decent defense) and 21 last week at Buffalo. Fitzpatrick was 23/35 for 282 yards, clearly an upgrade as I said before the season started. The Steelers defense is 22nd in opponents pass completion percentage, so I expect Fitzpatrick to move the ball at times. I cannot see the Steelers coming out early and playing conservative, especially on MNF, because they don't want to leave Miami hanging around even thinking they can win, and, Pittsburgh has not been running the ball effectively. I see this as a 31-17 (at least) game.

I disagree. Pitts QB 4th career start. Pitt will play conservative. Plus to cover 14 points you have to play perfect. No turn overs. make all extra points and field goals no stupid penalties. With that said and if Pitt does that there is always what if Miami goes up 7-0 or 10-0 before Pitt settles in. To hard to cover a big line in the NFL especially when teams just want to come away with a W.
