Here is what he had to say about the game:
The Steelers are in a must-win situation. They can’t go 0-3 and hope to make the playoffs. They’ve struggled on offense and need to get it going, but the Bears are tough on defense. I see the Steelers’ defense winning this one. They will force some key turnovers. Steelers get victory No. 1.
For ESPN, four of the 13 experts have picked the Steelers. Also, according to OddsShark.com, the Bears 1-point favorites in Week 3.
