The Pittsburgh Steelers will welcome the San Francisco 49ers this afternoon in Week 2. What is a reasonable final score prediction for this Week 2 game?
Both of these teams are going to be intriguing to watch this week. Pittsburgh is coming off of a disappointing loss on the road against the New England Patriots last Thursday night, while San Francisco took care of business with a big win against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. They are both more than capable of making a run into the playoffs and have proven talent that can help them do just that.
Looking ahead at the game this afternoon, it is hard to predict what the outcome of the game will be. There are so many players on each side that are more than capable of changing the game.
Carlos Hyde looked like an absolute workhorse running back for the 49ers and is going to see quite a bit of action once again this week. San Francisco truly believes that he is one of the best backs in the NFL, but the Steelers' defense will be out to prove that he can't duplicate those numbers against him. The 49ers definitely need their running back to step up and he is more than capable of doing so.
Pittsburgh will still be without their star running back Le'Veon Bell, but De'Angelo Williams broke out with a huge game for the Steelers last week.
Ben Roethlisberger will be asked to play a huge game against a very tough San Francisco secondary. He has the weapons to do it with Antonio Brown leading the way. There is no question that the Steelers can put up the necessary numbers to solve the problem that is the 49ers' defense.
Don't be surprised to see this game come down to the wire with both teams looking to make a major point.
San Francisco looked very convincing on both sides of the football on Monday night and should be able to pull out a key road victory. Assuming Hyde lives up to the hype that has been set for him following his big performance last week, there is nothing that the Steelers' defense can do to stop the 49ers' offense.
Expect to see the 49ers come out strong and do enough on both sides of the football to pull off a big win.
