    I hate the Steelers and I disliked Leftwitch. So last time they were in a position to play without Ben, I was happy. But the D came up big and Leftwich only had to throw the ball a few dozen times over the course of several games and they won those games and ticked me off.
    That being said, I truly think Pit D will come out and play inspired football. The main factor for Pit will be to establish a running game. Can this be done with the O line they have left?
    All of this leads to a main question. If Atlanta is suppose to be a good team why are they not favored by more than 2.5, whith the main man out for Pit? Is Atl not the team a lot of analyst are predicting them to be? Or can anyone play QB for Pit and succeed? Or is Atl really going to cover the spread by 7 or more points?

      Don't understand what your point is here. Rams are +4 at home with a rookie QB. How much more do you want Atlanta to be favored to make it a play? They are already -2.5 facing a much better team than the Rams.

        I guess what I'm getting at is the line seems out of proportion to all of the projections for how successful ATL is suppose to be this year vs a team that is suppose to have a O line that is on the decline before their best player on that line got injured and going to start a QB who was 3rd string.PIT did not play very well last year, losing to KC OAK and CLE.
        If ATL truly has the ability as projected then they should win by 7 or more and the line is a result of PIT being a fan fav. And if not then all of the expert analyst are just blowing smoke up our rears and ATL should be a fade team this year. I have no doubt this will (should) be a low scoring game with the PIT D playing a very tough game. I would project a score of 10 -17.
        As far as the Rams game, I think we are looking at 2 crap teams playing each other, and if ARZ still really has a front part of a D and STL not really improving on the O line very much I can except the +4. Overall this game has a lot more question marks as far as team cohesion for both teams and any bet on it truly defines the word "gambling".

          The line is fine. If Atlanta was home it be the equivelent of them being -8

          Which just sounds ridiculous.

                No, if atlanta was playing at home the line would have been -5.5....you get 3 points for home field advantage. 5.5 points favs is appropriate for atlanta.

                  Atl -2.5 road
                  Atl -5.5 netural field
                  Atl -8.5 home

                        Steelers cant win the game with just defense. They barely beat crappy titans team last year in the first week with Big Ben, Holmes and Troy. What makes you think steelers will beat much better team in falcons without big ben and holmes. Steelers would be lucky to make it to playoffs this year.

                        Steelers defense is great...but its not enough to win the game.

                              Tough game to call. I'm staying off this one. Atlanta already had a good offense and this year they greatly improved on defense. Pitt is a team that you can never count out with their defense. A ball control offense whith Dixon at QB and they can win some games. In the end though ATL has a little more talent where it counts.

                                  I almost had this score right...figured both D's would come to play and the O's would have a tough time early on....

                                  My Steelers need to hang on for 3 more weeks....then the march is on!!
