Let's look at Patriot's TE owning of Steelers over the years (mostly Gronk). These are their past games

2017- 93 yds, TD Patriots win
2016- 94 yds, 3TDs Patriots win
2013- 143 yds, TD Patriots Win
2011- 103 yds, TD Steelers Win
2010- 72 yds, 3 TDs Patriots Win
2008- No Gronk or Hernandez, Steelers win

Patriots are favorites, but they will miss Gronk.

Yeah, I think that bill for Gronk missing becomes due this weekend. Stillers in a tight one.

Similarly, I just think GB is going to hit the wall with their injuries. Atlanta by 10-14, although I realize that doubting Rodgers is stupid at this point.

The Patriots don't need a TE this season to beat the Steelers. They have Dion Lewis and James White out of the backfield and 4-5 slot WRs to choose from. Also, that Blount guy out of the backfield will be hard to stop. I have a hard time believing the Steelers will be able to put up points to keep up with the Patriots, who are coming off one of their worst games with Brady at QB

Yup they played like crap the other night and still put up 34 on a defense that is better than Pittsburgh....... but........ the steelers can control the ball better than NE..... Steelers in a nail-biter.......

Falcons have been my pick out of the NFC since mid season so I'll stick with them.
My heart says Steelers however Brady and the Patriots always beat Ben, especially at home. But hey there's a first time for everything. Hard to believe it's the first time they've met since 04.

The Steelers are overdue for Bad Ben to show up. And the Pats** have been the Steelers' Kryptonite for 20 years. I don't see any particular reason that will change on Sunday.

Patriots over Steelers
Falcons over Packers


I feel the Falcon defense has gotten better and better the past 4-5 weeks. Gave up a garbage time TD against SEA or otherwise had a really good game. I wouldn't be shocked if they hold Rodgers under 20. What they are doing on defense without their best DB in Trufant is pretty impressive.

Julio Jones will be in top 5 in receiving yards in single playoff game in a FG loss, as M. Crosby hits a 59 yarder.

Pats and Steelers play a very sloppy first half,only for Tom to get heated up and win by 10.
