I'm out of my mind.
Or so I've been told, repeatedly, over the past 48 hours, ever since I predicted the Steelers would go 3-1 without suspended quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Three reasons why it'll happen:
• The schedule.
• A potentially dominant defense.
• Improved special teams.
First the schedule. The Steelers open Sunday at Heinz Field as a 2 1/2-point underdog against the Atlanta Falcons — who made that line? — and continue with road games at Tennessee and Tampa Bay before a visit from the Baltimore Ravens.
That's not cake, but it's manageable because the first three teams don't appear to have the defensive chops to take advantage of a vulnerable Steelers offense........
