Pitt (0) over Miami
Pitt has one of the best lines in football and Willie Parker will be a huge factor in tonights game with Batch under center. Having said that, the Dolphins will more than likely be in total man coverage with 9 in the box. Batch will have to step up and show he can make a few plays and manage the offense. I do not expect Batch to be a playmaker but I think the way maimi will come out he can pass to Miller to keep drives moving. The steelers defense will be fired up at home against this offense. In the mud and rain the last time these teams played Pitt shut Maimi down in thier house, but will a culpepper and Ronnie Brown this will be a tall order. Still I am not a fan of the Miami o-line and the blitz package pitt has will cause problems. Dante has played well in preseason but this is game speed against a very fast defense and I think he will struggle a bit. The defense, o-line and running game notto mention a big home field advantage puts my play in the Pitt court.
