Thursday, September 7
Miami at Pittsburgh (minus 3)
PICK: Miami 20-17. The Dolphins continue the streak they started last year against the Rothelisberger-less Steelers.
WINNER: Pittsburgh 28-17. Pittsburgh rewards Steeltown with an opening day win, and the rest of the betting country by covering the spread.
Sunday, September 11
Atlanta at Carolina (minus 5)
PICK: Panthers 24-21. Even without Smith in the line-up, the depth of the Panthers will prevail. But not against the spread.

Baltimore at Tampa Bay (minus 3)
PICK: Baltimore 24-17.
WINNER: Baltimore 27-0.
Buffalo (plus 9.5) at New England
