Yup, I put some money on Cinci hope they dont dissapoint. I thought they would be the favorite to win this game but I guess not.

first off, let me welcome you to the sbrforum roadrunner

Big Ben's health is the key to this game. He hasn't played a full game since the superbowl last year. Thats clearly an advantage for cincy in this game.

It was close for me till i looked and Houshmand was listed as probable.Hes a possession recevier they need to win this game easy.

Pittsburgh's on a short week, but they also have something to prove after a disappointing Monday Night loss. If Ben's healthy, and he should be, the Steelers take this game at Heinz Field.

**onlooker** · 09-23-06, 05:40 PM

I just dont buy Ben being healthy. He still didnt play much in preseason, and he needed all the game time he could get. I will be surprised if he is sharp tomorrow.

**blue rhino** · 09-23-06, 08:20 PM

good point Onlooker. Even if Big Ben is physically healthy I can't imagine he will be game ready.

**slacker00** · 09-23-06, 08:35 PM

I like Cincy too. Pittsburgh is mortal at QB right now, whereas Cincy is hot in general. Cincy is hungrier right now, IMO. Pitts is still kinda fat and happy with their Super Bowl rings.

**Zikaris** · 09-23-06, 10:06 PM

Pit is starting Cedric Wilson as their 2nd reciever. Nuff said. I can't believe this guy is still in the nfl let alone a starter. Cinci is a nice mix of devastating offense and adequate defense. Pit is a bad mix of poor offense and devastating defense. It worked for the Ravens that 1 year though, so you can't count them out.

Housh is playing but not starting.

Turnovers just killed the Steelers today. The Bengals scored twice in like 54 seconds in the second half.

**Sportsgirl** · 09-25-06, 08:16 AM

Yeah, the Steelers turned into a bunch of Santa's helpers and gave Cincy a few too many gifts. If I was Cincy I wouldn't be walking into the lockerroom overjoyed by a "win" as ugly as that one was.

**goldengoat** · 09-25-06, 08:47 AM

little ben made some critical mistakes that he is usually known for not making

not a good start at all for him

Healthy or not he is WAY over rated. This is the year everyone will see it too.

Still got 13 more games to decide that one, my friend.

Like Cinny at home this week against my pats

**Sportsgirl** · 09-29-06, 10:09 AM

I wouldn't be so quick to give up on your Pats in this game. The Steelers outplayed Cincy last weekend, and without a few untimely mistakes by Pittsburgh, Cincy walks outta Heinz Field losers. Belichick's team is unlikely to make those same sort of errors. I look for New England to win this one.
