Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New England Patriots – Week 2 Betting Preview

The New England Patriots will travel to the Iron City to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers after their Week 1 loss to the Dolphins. Their performance validated many of the offseason concerns surrounding their offense as New England struggled to move the ball against Miami and looked out of sync all afternoon.

The Steelers, on the other hand, surprised the league by taking out the reigning AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals despite being sizable underdogs. The defense stepped up big, forcing Joe Burrow into four interceptions, but it will need to get healthy quickly if the Steelers want to build on their positive start.
