NFL Picks Week 2: Jets Vs. Steelers

Despite losing their opening matchup of the season and their opponent winning theirs, Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers are predicted by many NFL experts to take down Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets. One of the marquee matchups of the second week of the NFL regular season, Steelers-Jets is remarkably one-sided toward Pittsburgh being the victorious team.

Pittsburgh lost to Denver the opening week of the season, although it's probably not that big a deal to lose to Peyton Manning when he's managing the game like that. The Jets did beat the Bills the first week of the season, but who knows how good Buffalo is after their vaunted defensive line managed almost no push at all on New York's offensive line.

Regardless of the impressiveness of the victory, the experts are riding with Big Ben. Seven of nine ESPN experts, both the Yahoo expert and the Yahoo users, and eight of nine CBS experts are taking the Steelers in this contest.
