Pittsburgh Steelers +180 @ Tennessee Titans
My Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers
I’m taking the upset here on the money line. Everyone talks about Chris Johnson, and how he may be the best running back in the NFL, but against the Steelers in two career contests he has been pedestrian gaining 69 yards on the ground in 2026 and 57 yards last season, his only two contests against the Steelers.
The Steelers have made a living over the past 5 seasons in stopping the run, so they should also be able to contain Vince Young and force him to throw the football. This contest looks like its going to be another low scoring affair as Big Ben is sitting out game 2 of his 4 game suspension. I expect Mendenhall to be the focal point of the offense, and get at least 25 touches on the ground. The Titans rush defense of the Titans has been lackluster since the departure of Albert Haynesworth in 2026.
The main deciding factor in this contest will be whether Dennis Dixon can manage the game long enough to grind out a win like he did last week against a very good Atlanta Falcons team. The defense as a whole allowed just 9 points against the Falcons, which is considered a better offensive team than the Titans.
Final Score: Steelers 16 Titans 13
