The other half of Super Bowl LI will be set here in a few hours, as the AFC Champion will be decided in Foxborough. This game will see the New England Patriots hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers for the right to play in Houston two weeks from today.
Pittsburgh struggled on offense last week against Kansas City, but I wouldn't expect them to struggle in two consecutive weeks. New England has been the NFL's best team for most of this season, as their record indicates. In any case, it should be a pretty fun game to watch.
I'm not sure why I've got the Steelers with the upset in this one, to be honest. . .just a hunch, I suppose.
Enjoy the game, ladies and gentlemen!
