Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the New England Patriots-Pittsburgh Steelers Week 7 game, with the line from OddsShark.

(-7) New England Patriots (5-1) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2), Sunday, 4:25 p.m.
Mike: Patriots. Even if Ben Roethlisberger was playing, the trends all point to the Patriots, who are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games at Heinz Field.
Ricky: Patriots. New England’s offense is rolling with Tom Brady at the helm. It’ll continue this week, and Pittsburgh won’t be able to keep up now that Ben Roethlisberger is sidelined.
Andre: Patriots. New England?s quarterbacks still haven?t thrown a pick this year and that trend should continue against a Steelers defense that is allowing 6.1 yards per play (fifth). The Patriots also have the most explosive plays in the NFL (38) and have the best explosive play differential (plus-18). They don?t allow many explosive plays which is a great attribute to have when going up against Pittsburgh.
