Steelers +4
Even if Johnson does start I don't expect him to make it through the game with a back problem. TB's offensive line has had their problems and the Steelers defense will put some hits on him if he is forced to throw. If King is their QB I don't see how they will move the ball as they have little running game and King is a very inconsistent thrower. Steelers have more big play receivers and have a lot of trick plays they can go to which could cause some problems for a Bucs defense that overpursues on misdirection plays at times. Loss or McFarland also hurts their run defense as Bettis may have more holes to run through. Think their is a good chance Steelers win so will take the points. Will also put a litte on the ML.
