[h=4]NEW ENGLAND (-7) over Pittsburgh
8:30 p.m. ET[/h]We are "The Home of the Fast Start" as the "Steam Team" went 3-1 this past weekend, including a 4-Star "Lock" winner on Ohio State! Tonight, the NFL kicks off and we're going to side with an angry and motivated Patriots team. Not only is New England in complete "F-U" mode, but it also has some statistical and match-up advantages in its favor tonight. The Pats are 45-4 straight up in their last 49 regular season home games and have covered 17 of their last 22 when not laying double digits. What's more, since 2000 the defending Super Bowl champs are 12-3 SU and 10-4-1 ATS in Week 1 of the following season. The Steelers enter Week 1 with some key injuries and suspensions and the defense was abysmal during the preseason. Yes, the Pats defense has some question marks, but the offense will be as strong as last year and will simply outscore the Steelers tonight. Lay the TD!
