Steelers shouldn't lose again. Their depth is too great throughout their football team. Patriots "need" Dillon to have a Chance, Steelers have 2 starters in Bettis and Staley who can get the job done, one of the best 3rd down backs in the league with Haynes, then Parker the rookie who had 100 yards agains the Bills (who allowed only 2 100 yard rushers before the game), and did I mention Parker got all those yards in ONE half? Their awesome defense and dominating run game can carry them past anyone. Their biggest threat might actually be San Diego who has an really good run defense, but the Steelers have proven they can take to to the air if they need to, of which that is actually SD's weakness - defense against the pass...
BUT, the AFC is so good this year, its a tall order to survive two games let alone 3, it could be anyone from the AFC except the Jets, I honostly don't think they have what it takes. Martin is a plus but despite having the league's leading rusher, their offense still struggles? Their defense is among the best in the AFC but their offense simply can't score the points it will take for them to win. Denver is an iffy, if they can muster together 3 great games they could make the superbowl, their offense and defense are both top 10 when they play well, but the teams they'll play simply don't make the mistakes. But again, it could be anyone from the AFC, I definately like Pittsburgh's chances at home.
It should be an all Pennsylvania SB, but the Ealges are suspect without TO. I don't think its TO's skills that help the team, just the confidence, TO really isn't that much better than the league's other top recievers, he just packs a lot of confidence and that confidence bleeds off onto his teamates. If they can find that confidence they can go the distance.
