The New England Patriots suffered a 20-7 loss to the Miami Dolphins last week. It was an ugly game for the offense as the Pats managed just 271 total yards and turned the ball over 3 times. That put a lot of pressure on the defense that had to defend 3 extra possessions and poor field position, but they still allowed just 20 points. The Steelers shocked the Super Bowl runner-up in their opener 23-20 in overtime. It wasn't all that it looked like, as Pittsburgh ended the game with a 5-0 turnover margin. Despite 5 extra possessions and almost a complete overtime, the Steeler's offense generated just 267 total yards. I think the Pittsburgh offense is going to struggle all season without Ben Roethlisberger under center. The Pats appear to have similar issues and Mac Jones was dinged up vs Miami. I think both defenses are significantly better than the offenses they will face, and I like the UNDER in this one.
