OUR PREDICTION: Ben Roethlisberger is now notorious for playing explosive at home but somewhat lackluster on the road (his numbers are still good away from Pittsburgh, but the splits are dramatic). Thus, the Steelers should score plenty but a 30-point performance is unlikely. On the other side, the Bears’ offense has struggled under Mike Glennon but their defense appears improved under John Fox and Vic Fangio. When Atlanta came to Chicago in Week 1, the Bears blanketed Julio Jones and dominated the Falcons’ offensive line with an improved front four. I expect the something on Sunday, with the Bears doubling Antonio Brown and keeping Le’Veon Bell somewhat in check.
