Super Bowl teams usually have their off-season doubters and come into the year "with question marks." And they usually trounce their opponents in the first game. At some point in the first half of the season, a five-game malaise would not be uncommon, in which the team does not do as well as everyone expects. But rarely do we see it, if memory serves, in the first game.
Anyone picking the Dolphins tonight as a trendy upset special is a Sucker, I say. I foretell an overwhelming performance from the Steelers defense and something like a 14-3 Steeler win. It may not be pretty, but the occasional ugliness of Steeler football is a big part of what makes it such a beautiful thing.
