NFL FREE PICK: Take the Steelers. Recent preseason NFL trends include: Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS as a favorite. This will be a tougher test for Andrew Luck, going up against a much tougher defense than the Rams. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sharp in a brief appearance in the Philadelphia game, completing 7-of-8 attempts for 49 yards in helping the Steelers jump out to a 13-0 halftime lead. Even if he plays less than a half, the Steelers have a better group of backups led by Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch (as opposed to Drew Stanton and Chandler Harnish). The Colts got their first win already, now the Steelers will be looking to play better than they did last week, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
