Their receivers are deeper and more talented than the Pittsburgh DBs. Look for Pittsburgh to try and win the passing game matchup by putting as much pressure on AR as possible. What will help the Packers, is Dom Capers being familiar with the Pittsburgh defense and Rodgers practicing against it most of training camp. Additionally, Rodgers always seems to have great games after a week off. Look for Rodgers to have a very successful day.The Steelers will need to have their run game in top form. Loss of Pouncy could be a significant loss. Lots of short passes and QB scrambles to keep the aggresive Packer defense at bay. New York Jets may have exposed some run opportunities that the Packers can take advantage of. Did the Bears also expose weaknesses in the Packers - shutting down Rodgers in the 2nd half? I don't think it is relatable as t he Bears run a completely unrelated cover 2 scheme.Result? Packers 30Steelers 27This is a bit higher scoring than people are expecting. I think this will be the case because of the similar defenses. This should give the offenses more opportunities because of their familiarity.</blockquote>
