NFL FREE PICK: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, the under is 5-1 in the Titans’ last six games in Week 1 and 5-2 in their last seven games versus AFC opponents. The under is also 13-3 in the Steelers’ last 16 home games and 5-2 in their last seven games on grass. While the over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these two teams and 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in Pittsburgh, look for Tennessee’s pass rush to neutralize what Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers’ offense wants to do in the passing game. And seeing as how Pittsburgh’s running game is highly questionable following the injury to Le’Veon Bell, the Steelers’ offense may struggle as a whole. Meanwhile, Dick LeBeau’s defense loves to face young quarterbacks and while Jake Locker has made strides in his development, the Titans will likely try to keep the ball on the ground with Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene. The makeup of this game sets up well for the under.
