Tonight is the first game of the season, as you well know, and it’s a doozy…as you also well know. Not only are the Pittsburgh Steelers playing the New England Patriots, they’re doing so on the road up in Foxboro. Where the Patriots don’t lose. They went 11-5 during the regular season a year ago, quite a pedestrian year for them, but that included a record of 8-0 at home. And 10-0 by the end of the year, including the postseason.
So the location is going to be a big deal in this one.
