Before tuning into Sunday's Steelers vs. Patriots game, you need to see the NFL picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,500 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception. The model enters Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season on an incredible 139-98 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.'

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past six years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94% of AP Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

For Patriots vs. Steelers, the model is backing the Over (40.5) to hit with ease. After jumping out to a 17-3 lead over the Bengals in Week 1, the Steelers stumbled late and wound up going to overtime. However, a 53-yard field goal as the overtime period expired by Chris Boswell gave them a 23-20 victory despite coming in as 7-point underdogs.

Pittsburgh's defense caused massive problems for a clearly overmatched Cincinnati offensive line, sacking Joe Burrow seven times and forcing five turnovers to fuel the win. However, the Steelers lost T.J. Watt to a pectoral injury in the process and not having the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year could hinder their ability to disrupt the game on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Patriots only managed seven points against the Dolphins in Week 1, but they were undone by three turnovers. The model is expecting Bill Belichick's squad to take advantage of a Steelers defense that allowed 432 yards of total offense last week and is now without Watt. That's why the model has over 40.5 hitting in well over 50 percent of simulations.
