NFL Week 8 Picks: Why Steelers Have No Shot Against Tom Brady and Rival Patriots

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots have the NFL's best passing attack and will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers this week who have the best passing defense, so which unstoppable force wins?

The Patriots offense wins, and it will win big.

Brady is on a historic passing pace this season and will make a serious run at Dan Marino's singe season passing yardage record (5,084).

The Steelers have had an incredibly weak schedule this season. They have played just two quality teams in the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens, and they lost both games.

The Steelers passing defense has been good because it has faced some weak passing attacks, but against Brady and his amazing amount of weapons at his disposal, the Steelers will be dominated.

The Steelers don't have anyone to cover Patriots tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, and with the Patriots running game ranking 10th in football with 124 yards per game on the ground, the Steelers won't be able to sit back and defend the pass while not worrying about the rushing attack.

The Patriots are 5-1 this season and will improve their lead over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East this week with a big road win against the rival Steelers.

The Steelers won't be able to stop Brady's aerial assault and Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger won't be able to score 35-42 points to keep up with the Patriots.

New England has scored 30-plus points in five of its six games this season and against some very good defenses, too.

The Patriots will get out to an early lead on Sunday and will never look back, forcing the Steelers to play catch-up the entire game.

With the great success of the Green Bay Packers this season, a lot of people are forgetting about the Patriots.

However, when you have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick leading your team, opponents cannot take you lightly no matter what the situation.
