Only way I can explain it is people are buying into that 'letdown' angle. These teams are as even as it gets.

To me, the only real factor that I take into account is that Rothleisberger (sp) has better weapons than Brady or Manning did. The Jets have proven they can win in hostile environments, the Ds are pretty close so why does Pitt have a better chance of beating the Jets than NE or Indy? It's that BR's supporting cast is better than the two the Jets beat previously.

I just don't agree. Reggie Wayne is better than anybody the Steelers have, and Garcon is no slouch either. And since when are Branch/Welker/Hernandez/Gronkowski/Edelman/etc. inferior to anyone? All I heard last week was how unstoppable that offense was, now it takes a backseat to Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown?

remember Troy P. didn't play last time AND Heth Miller didn't play last time. Miller was big because matt spaeth dropped TWO TD catches. aaron smith MIGHT also get some plays on defense. that would give the D and extra lift. the D is better when AS plays..
