On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers will kick off the regular season on the road against the Atlanta Falcons. Last season the Steelers miraculously finished 10-7 and snuck into the playoffs.

Meanwhile the Falcons struggled without a viable quarterback and finished 7-10. This cost then-head coach Arthur Smith his job but Smith soon found himself as the offensive coordinator of the Steelers. So this is something of a family reunion.

The Falcons are currently three-point favorites, due in large part to the addition of Kirk Cousins at quarterback. The Steelers changed quarterbacks as well but the jury is still out on just how much of an improvement it will be.

The Steelers cannot afford to get off to a slow start. The team's final eight games are as tough as any team has in the league. This is as close to a must-win in Week One as you can get.

Cast your vote and tell us who you think will win this week.
