PITTSBURGH STEELERS +2 - This line may be an over-adjustment on the linemaker?s part. Yes, the Panthers are 3-0 and have allowed only 17 points in those 3 games, while the Steelers are 1-2 with just a 1-point win over Dallas. However, you can bet that Pittsburgh?s coach Cowher is none too pleased with the Steelers? effort so far, and he would like to see one solid outing before the season starts. To this end, I look for the Pittsburgh regulars to play a little deeper into this game than usual, and as impressive as Carolina has looked so far, that should spell trouble for them. Also, it is interesting to note that while the Panthers are 3-0 vs. NFC opponents, they generally struggle with the AFC, going just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 non-conference pre season games!
