Point Spread: 6.00 | 100.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
Pittsburgh at New England 6:40 ET
Steelers (+) over Patriots- Hey, how about that 'classy' Steelers locker room episode that has Mike Tomlin so upset. Well, I'll say this, he (Tomlin) is right about the Patriots who have a day-and-half extra to prepare for the AFC Championship game. Believe it, when the Pitt/KC game was being played that New England had ALL their coaches working on a game plan while watching the late Sunday game. The Patriots have defeated the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 7 while Roethlistberger was sidelined. Pats coach Bill Belichick thinks that has no significance as Pittsburgh has won their last seven with 'Big Ben' in the line-up. We must note that New England is 16-3 at home during the payoffs since 2001. Tom Brady has been at his best against Pittsburgh throwing for 19 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the last six match-ups and is 9-2 lifetime against the 'Terrible Towel boys' with 26 TD passes and just three picks. NE 14-3 ATS this season Pitt is 11-6-1. Take PITTSBURGH!
