The NFL season is finally upon us as the 2006 season starts off with the Steelers hosting the Dolphins. The Steelers are playing without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and could potentially not have Hines Ward to catch passes from Charlie Batch.
The Dolphins have been a trendy pick to win the Super Bowl after adding all pro quarterback Daunte Culpepper. When having time to throw Daunte could hurt a defense with his excellent vision of the field. The problem is Troy Polamalu and the Steelers will blitz all game long.
If Ronnie Brown and Chris Chambers live up to the preseason billing, this could be a dangerous team on offense. They also have all pro's Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas on defense.
If you play fantasy football I have my fantasy stud of the game to watch. This game it is the Dolphins tight end Randy McMichael. With the Linebackers blitzing, he could become a safety valve for Culpepper.
To me with a backup quarterback in for Pittsburgh, the Dolphins are just too strong and that is why my prediction for the game is Dolphins: 24 Steelers:17
