NFL- PITTSBURGH/NEW ENGLAND OVER 51.5 (830PM)
The NFL season kicks off in Foxboro with the defending champs taking on Big Ben and the Steelers. Brady is playing and Bell is out. The game also pits New England's No. 1-ranked offense, averaging 30.32 PPG, against a Steelers defense that ranks No. 21 this week at 23.41 PPG. Pittsburgh has a revamped secondary and new defensive coordinator. New England is also replacing several key pieces on the defense. This should be a very high scoring game to open the season.
