Pittsburgh Steelers vs New Orleans Saints 2010 NFL Predictions, 2010 NFL Picks & 2010 NFL Odds: The Saints will look to stop the bleeding tonight as they meet, arguably, the best team in football, the Pittsburgh Steelers, at the Superdome. This evening's Halloween clash in the Bayou is scheduled to kickoff at 8:20pm ET on NBC's Sunday Night Football. 2010 NFL Predictions, Picks & Odds at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the high profile contest listed as a pick'em; the Over/Under is set at 44.
The Steelers offense was anything but pretty through the first four weeks of play, averaging just 
16 points per contest outside of a 38 point outburst against the Bucs; however, Pittsburgh's defense helped guide the team to a 3-1 start.
The Steelers' Steel Curtain reputation has only been reinforced this season as the team is giving up a league best 13.7 points per game. Pittsburgh, which sits at 5-1 and atop the AFC North standings, also ranks fourth in yards per game allowed at 299.3. And, per usual, the team's ball hawking, hard hitting approach has resulted in a +9 turnover margin through six games.
As expected, Pittsburgh's offense has shown signs of coming around with the return of Ben Roethlisberger. Big Ben completed 35-of-54 passes for 559 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in leading the Steelers to a combined 51 points against the Browns and Dolphins.
New Orleans saw its record fall to 4-3 last weekend as the Cleveland Browns came into the Superdome and stunned the defending champs 30-17. The loss was especially shocking considering the Saints performance the week before at Tampa Bay.
Drew Brees and company looked like the 2009 Saints for the first time all season in smashing the Bucs 31-6. Brees threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns in leading New Orleans to 27 first downs and 475 total yards. Last Sunday? Brees threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns, and the Saints as a team fell for every special teams trick in the book.
If there's any Super Bowl mettle left in this team, it will be revealed tonight on a prime time stage against a prime time team.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: Pittsburgh is 12-3 straight up over the last three years playing as a road team coming off a win.
