NFL Week 16 Picks: Can Carolina Upset the Steelers?

NFL Week 16 picks are here and we're taking a look at the first game on the schedule between Carolina and Pittsburgh.

It's not exactly projected to be the greatest game on this week's schedule, but with Troy Polamalu possibly missing another game with an injury, it could give Jimmy Clausen the chance to fight for his job as the Panthers are projected to win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes.

The Steelers are coming off of a tough loss to the New York Jets and I think Ben Roethlisberger and company are going to rebound and beat up on an extremely bad Carolina team that has struggled all year long.

Look for Pittsburgh to put this one out of reach early and never look back. There are going to be plenty of opportunities for the Steelers to get the big play and I think that Carolina is going to just be overmatched in every sense of the word in this game. Sadly, this is a national spotlight game.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 38, Carolina 13
