The key early on will be if Pittsburgh high risk pass D can hold up against
Troy and Michael.  If they avoid the rush (which I believe they will) they 
should be able to score quickly.  If the rush gets to Troy and an interception
leads to an early Steelers score, it might be a close game.  

I seriously doubt the Pittsburgh offense can put up more than 24 points in
the game and they may need 2 turnovers to get that.  Dallas, barring stupid
turnovers, aka the San Fran game, can easily score 35 against the Pitt D.
The Steeler offense is going to have to be FAR more consistent than they were
against the Colts or they may not see the end-zone until it is too late.

Dallas seems to be on a mission, despite Barry.  Pitt has played tough and
gut spirit has led them this far but can it overcome Dallas.  Probably not!

Dallas 17-3 at half, Final 38-17.
