0-0 Season Record 
Jets +3
Derek Harmon the rookie starting Dlineman for the Steelers is out with a knee sprain and DL Cam Heyward is lobbying for more ham or a new contract even though he signed a new contract last year and he was paid for this year in March. Pittsburgh fans who live on Main Street America can hardly afford groceries and have no sympathy with Cam's new demands. Cam is upset that the fans are upset with him and now the fans have asked why his brother Conner is on the 53 man roster. A lot of drama in Steel city.
Boswell the kicker wants more ham too as he is arguably the best in the NFL. This is all a result of the 41 million being paid to TJ Watt (a gross over payment IMO). When you start to use the pay-scale of the Cleveland Browns (Myles Garrett) then you are headed to the bottom of the sea.
I have serious doubts that the Steeler front 7 can stop the run. In their last game in the playoffs, the Ravens ran for 299 yards and they took their foot off the gas. The Steeler inside linebackers and supposed run stoppers are the same from last year, Patrick Queen and Peyton Wilson. The Steelers haven't had an elite run stopper since ILB Vince Williams retired 5 years ago.
Minkah Fitzpatrick FS had 96 combination tackles last year and who will make up for his game saving tackles? He not only covered for bad corners, he covered for the front 7 too who could not stop the run. TJ Watt had only 61 combination tackles...he got a 41 million bag and Minkah got a one way ticket to Miami. How is that for justice?
Minkah has grumbled about the lack of dedication among the players for a few years and when anything bubbles to the surface, Tomlin takes offense as he doesn't want anyone to know the inside baseball of what is really going on with that team. One of the many reasons why I despise Tomlin. 
The Steeler oline has 4 two year guys and only one veteran guard. The Jets' D will come looking for Rodger's blood on Sunday. The Steeler offense hasn't had even one snap in preseason so I doubt if they will gel out of the gate if at all.
I could go on and on, I do have many more reasons why I believe the Steelers will stumble out of the gate. The number has moved to 2 1/2 and I wonder if that is a troll for Steeler money? No doubt the lions' share of the money bet will be on Pittsburgh, they have been hyped all off season by the mainstream media. Tomlin is a cheerleader with headphones, where are his pom poms? The man is never held accountable by the mainstream sports' media. I have never seen a head coach treated with kid gloves like I see this plastic phony.
Of course the 73 year old moronic owner Art Deuce Rooney enables this insanity and their only hope is that one sunny day this woke idiot will step down and allow his son Dan to have a chance to revive the team.
Ravens -1
Normally I don't believe 'revenge' to be a motivating factor but the Ravens have stewed all off season over their 27-25 loss in the playoffs last year to the Bills. Looks like WR Shakir is healthy but I am not sold on the Bills' receivers. Is the Bills' D physical enough to shutdown Derrick Henry. IMO no. One wise move by the Ravens was to keep aging Dean Pees as a defensive consultant. He saved their bacon last year and got them back on track last October.
I don't think the game will even be close. The Ravens in a blowout!!! 
The agony of defeat!!!
