The Pittsburgh Steelers roll into Gillette Stadium at 1-0, looking to stay unbeaten in this Week 2 AFC matchup, while the New England Patriots are searching for their first win after an 0-1 start. Kickoff is set for 1:00 PM EDT on CBS, with the home side installed as a 5.5-point favorite per DraftKings and the total sitting at 41.5.
New England’s early-season struggles have made them a narrow home favorite despite last week’s loss, while Pittsburgh’s road test in Foxborough carries the weight of a 1-0 start against a team desperate to avoid an 0-2 hole. The 41.5-point over/under suggests a lower-scoring affair, but the only numbers that matter are the ones on the scoreboard when these two meet in the regular season.
