vs.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tennessee Titans (-5 ½)           Over/Under: 37

Pittsburgh enters its second game without QB Ben Roethlisberger as Dennis Dixon will once again get the start. Last week he turned in a workman like performance, completing 18-of 26 for 236 yards, but could not get his team in the end zone. It was Rashard Mendenhall’s 50 yard TD run in overtime that proved to be the difference in the Steelers 15-9 win over Atlanta

Tennessee QB Vince Young and RB Chris Johnson picked up where they left off last season, leading their team to a big win over the Raiders. Young only threw for 154 yards but tossed two TD’s while Johnson ran for 142 yards on 27 carries.

The Steelers did a good job at shutting down Falcons RB Michael Turner, holding him to just 42 yards, but do not expect the same results this week against Johnson. Big Ben is finally missed as the Titans win this one by a touchdown.
