The Steelers have been in great form of late and they can rack up a decent points total.
Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers – Sunday 18:05, Sky Sports 1
According to the market, Sunday’s first live playoff game is going to be a cakewalk for the Pittsburgh Steelers when the Miami Dolphins make the trip north to Heinz Field. As of writing this, the hosts are 9.5 point favourites for this wild card match up.
Miami are without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill through injury so long time backup Matt Moore will take the reins. Moore has never played a down in the playoffs in his nine year career, and as for the Dolphins, this is their first playoff game since 2008.
The Steelers are 3rd seeds in the AFC conference but with injuries to quarterbacks for AFC rivals Oakland, Houston and Miami, they are all but confirmed as the main challenger to top seed, the New England Patriots.
These two teams met once in the regular season back in October with Miami running out comfortable 30-15 winners in a game where Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down with a knee injury. However, The Steelers offense has been potent of late and they’ve scored at least 24 points in seven straight games and at home in weather that should suit them; we expect them to notch-up over 28 points .
