3 reasons why the Steelers will win
» Defense — That's two games and one touchdown allowed by the Steelers' defense. Going up against another young and inexperienced quarterback like Josh Freeman could be overwhelming for him.
» Charlie Batch — Batch starts for the first time in nearly three years and could provide a much-needed spark to an offense that has yet to score a regulation touchdown in two games.
» Jeff Reed — The Steelers' kicker has been the offense's most valuable player, accounting for 22 of the Steelers' 34 points. Reed will likely be asked to attempt multiple field goals yet again.
3 reasons why the Steelers will lose
» Turnovers — With the way the Steelers' defense is playing, the only means by which any team will be able to score is if it is able to take advantage of a short field or two.
» Heat — The temperature in Tampa is expected to approach 90, and the Steelers showed that they aren't very good at dealing with high heat last week in Tennessee.
» Josh Freeman — Freeman is young, athletic and can make plays outside the pocket, which might be the only way a play can be made against the Steelers' defense.
