As we’ve done in the past, below are the keys and my prediction of the Pittsburgh Steelers winning (or losing) today’s game. Three things that need to happen for them to end up on the right side of the score and vice versa in their Week 1 regular season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
My Steelers’ prediction is at the bottom.
The Steelers Will Win If…
1. Pittsburgh’s Front Seven Wins The Day
The Falcons are going to want to run the ball with their top-ten pick Bijan Robinson in his sophomore season. They don’t want to put the game solely in the hands of Kirk Cousins in his first game back from his torn Achilles against this Steelers’ pass rush.
