NFL season opener: New England Patriots host Pittsburgh Steelers
- Share via
When: Thursday
TV: Channel 4, 5:30 PDT.
Line: Patriots by 7.
Over/under: 52.
Sam Farmer’s pick: The Steelers can score big (even without the suspended Le’Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant), but with their new-look defense they’ll be hard-pressed to stop the reinstated Tom Brady and the us-against-the-world Patriots.
Patriots 35, Steelers 27
