Next week, if I haven’t said it enough, the Patriots take on the AFC leading Pittsburgh Steelers. The game will be played at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh at 4:25pm.

If you’re concerned about the matchup, you haven’t been a Patriots fan for long. The Pats have dominated Tomlin-led Steelers teams, and next week will be no different.

It won’t be easy, don’t get me wrong. The Steelers have the best running back and wide receiver in the NFL, so the defense will have its work cut out for them.

The Steelers defense, however, is struggling. They just gave up 38 points to Joe Flacco and a brutal Ravens team, so they’re very vulnerable.

If I had to guess, I’d say the New England Patriots leave Pittsburgh with a 31-20 victory.

That’s all for this week. Thank you again for tuning in to my 5 observations column. I’m sorry it was not after a victory, but that’s just how it works sometimes. Here’s to hoping for better next week. Go Pats.
