Pittsburgh Steelers vs Miami Dolphins 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Predictions & 2010 NFL Odds: The AFC North leading Pittsburgh Steelers are in South Florida today for gridiron dust up with the Miami Dolphins. This afternoon's game is slated for a 1:00pm ET start at Sun Life Stadium; it will be broadcast live on CBS. 2010 NFL Picks, Predictions & Odds at Bodog.com have the Steelers listed as a -3 against the spread road favorite and the Over/Under set at 40.5.

The Pittsburgh Steelers resumed control in the AFC's North division last weekend with a 28-10 drubbing of the Cleveland Pittsburgh Steelers vs Miami Dolphins 2010 NFL Picks, Predictions & OddsBrowns at Heinz Field. The win, which featured the return of Ben Roethlisberger, brought the Steelers record to 4-1 on the season, giving them a half game lead over the Baltimore Ravens.

Pittsburgh's offense looked far better last Sunday than it did during Roethlisberger's absence (with the exception of the Tampa Bay win) racking up 378 yards and 22 first downs. Big Ben experienced some early jitters, which led to a first quarter interception, but he settled in after that miscue, finishing the game with  257 yards passing and three touchdowns, (29, 8, and 14 yards).

The Steelers top rated defense (12 points per game allowed) did give up 328 yards to the Browns, but it also produced three turnovers. Pittsburgh's opportunistic play has the team sitting at +9 in turnover margin (second only to the Jets +10) after just five games.

Miami improved its record to 3-2 last Sunday with a surprising 23-20 OT win at Green Bay. The Dolphins, which were coming off their bye, had a solid offensive effort against the Packers, something that has been intermittent at best for the team this season.

Quarterback Chad Henne led the team to 381 total yards after throwing for 231 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Miami's rushing attack complimented Henne's respectable performance with a 150 yard day.

Defensively the Dolphins gave up 359 yards to Aaron Rodgers and company, but they did limit the Pack to 3-of-13 on third down and 16 first downs overall.

The Dolphins now return to Sun Life Stadium where they are 0-2 on the year with losses to division rivals New York and New England. They will face a Steelers squad that is 2-0 on the road this season with away victories over the Titans and Buccaneers.

NFL Picks Betting Trend: Pittsburgh is 5-1 straight up and against the spread in its last six games as a road favorite against an AFC East foe with spread between 0 and 3.5.
