NFL Predictions: Week 6 Picks and Hot Takes From Around the NFL

Pittsburgh Steelers at Miami Dolphins, 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday, CBS
Some games are slam dunks. Admittedly, there are times where those slam dunks end up bouncing off the rim and creating an embarrassing situation – but this game and pick should pretty safely avoid that fate.
The Steelers are the real deal. As long as Ben Roethlisberger is healthy, Pittsburgh is on pace to make a deep postseason run as perhaps the AFC’s top contender. After seeing last week’s dominance against the Jets, it’s easy to understand why the Steelers present the most dangerous threat in the conference, perhaps in the league as a whole.
Mike Tomlin and his staff have brilliantly built another Super Bowl contender, and it appears that they’re well on their way to another fruitful season.
With that said, the sluggish Dolphins might just hit a brick wall on the field this Sunday. They’re already without a lick of momentum. Battling against a Steelers team that is superior across the board, this game could be nightmarish. If the offensive line holds up for Ryan Tannehill, there’s a slight chance Miami keeps this close. But it’s safe to say Pittsburgh is a squeaky clean lock of the week.
Steelers out-score Dolphins in another big day for offense, 34-17.
