This will be one of the most telling games in a strange NFL season. The Steelers have survived injuries and the suspension of Ben Rapeburger, having only lost to Baltimore and New Orleans. Meanwhile, the Patriots start as many as four rookies on defense, traded Randy Moss, and got thumped by the Cleveland Browns last week. Losing kicker Stephen Gostkowski for the season hurts. I'm a Patriots fan, so last weekend was not enjoyable. I picked the Patriots (+5), because, when all else fails, take the points.
