On Sunday the Dolphins will host one of the two or three best teams in the league when the Steelers march into Sun Life Stadium. Though I have a feeling there won't be many picking the Dolphins, let's see who the media is picking:
Adam Schefter - Pit | Chris Mortensen - Pit | Tom Jackson - Pit |
Ron Jaworski - Pit | Peter King - Pit | Mike Florio - Pit |
Gregg Rosenthal - Pit | Pete Prisco - Mia | Jason Cole - Pit |
Sterling Sharpe - Pit | Brian Billick - Pit | Brian Baldinger - Mia |
This is about what I expected. And it's fair, I suppose. The Dolphins are 0-2 at home against very good teams. The Steelers are another very good team. Many are calling Pittsburgh Super Bowl contenders - and for good reason.
That's why the Dolphins have a chance to really make a statement. But if they come up short, we're all going to be wondering if this is just what the 2010 version of the dolphins are - an above average team that hasn't beaten the league's best teams.
With that said, I'm expecting a strong showing this week. I believe the Dolphins will go toe to toe with the big bad Steelers. But will they do enough to win this slugfest?
You tell me...
