Expert Picks: Who the experts are taking in the Steelers vs. Cardinals Week 6 game

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 3-2, but are currently dealing with several issues on their team. Second-year inside linebacker Ryan Shazier continues to remain out with a shoulder injury. Ben Roethlisberger is just starting to work his way back from a knee injury. Maurkice Pouncey could be lost for the year as he deals with a complication from his broken ankle and the team is now playing its fourth kicker who has never made a kick at Heinz Field before.

The Arizona Cardinals are at the other end of the spectrum, as they're 4-1 and have a point differential of +100 after five games. Such a statistic certainly speaks volumes about the offense which is coming to Pittsburgh this Sunday. The Cardinals' defense is far from perfect, but they are very opportunistic in terms of turnovers, especially interceptions. The focus will be on Michael Vick to take care of the ball, but without completely shutting down the offense.

The Steelers are rare home underdogs, as the Cardinals are favored by 3.5 points in Week 6. Vegas sees this game as being close, but who are the experts taking? Time to take a look at who those in the know are picking in this rematch of Super Bowl 43.
