Miami at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's playoffs hopes took a major hit last week in Baltimore, as their loss to the Ravens left them at 5-7. I think that the 0-4 hole they put themselves in early in the season is one they aren't going to be able to dig themselves out of. At 6-6 Miami  is in a spot to control their own playoffs destiny. A win here in Pittsburgh would go a long way to solidify a spot in the postseason. Since opening the season at 3-1, the Dolphins have not lost to anyone by more than 10 points, and four of the five losses since then have come by 4 points or less. You can be sure they will be around at the end here. Pittsburgh can't run the ball, and Big Ben has thrown 10 INTs on the season. The Steel Curtain defense just isn't what it used to be. The Dolphins have come up big off a big defensive game, one where they allowed less than 250 total yards, as they have followed by going 6-0 ATS in their last six. And, the Fins have really stepped things up defensively of late, allowing just 13 points per game over their last three. Losing has bred losing for the Steelers now at 2-5 ATS when following a loss. Barring a Mike Tomlin tackle here, I think Miami at least keeps this one close.
