    Looking ahead.. Steelers at Patriots

    Thoughts and opinions on this game and what the line will be are welcome. If I had to guess I would say the line will be pats -10. I'll be on the pats no matter what the line is. The steelers don't impress me that much. They have a great defense and are undefeated at home but road losses to the broncos, cardinals, and jets is not good for a team that may have to travel to indy or new england in the playoffs.

    I agree the Steelers are not as good as the stats say. Big Ben is looking like his season will fall apart. Fumble Parker has no real back up.. The D can be scored upon as they allow big drives.

    Pats by 14+

    PArker rarely fumbles. That game against cincy was very Rare for him.

    What indication do you see of him falling apart, he has been solid his entire carreer going back to college.
    He has 25 TD's this season.
    Ben Fall Apart?
    13-0 Rookie, Year 2 Super Bowl, Currently Ranked #2 on Third Down and 4th overall.
    Forget 8-8 last year, caused by 2 concussions, an appendectomy and a Motorcycle accident, he has never Fallen apart.


    The Steelers played 3 poor road games, but still won 3 in a row on the road to win the Super Bowl a Year removed.

    In three seasons (With Ben QB)
    The Steelers are : 15-1, 11-5, 8-8, Currently 9-3
    Thats a combined 43-17

    So how is it that they, or Ben Roethlesburger, is Overrated Exactly?

    The Steelers are a fraud, they have no chance to win the game.

    What I really wanted to say is,

    The Steelers are the only team with a legitimate shot of beating the patriots.

    The best thing for them now would be to lose this game next week, but learn from it, and beat them when they return in January, Like they did INDY in 2005.

    I am not saying the steelers are awful but they are not in the same category as Pats,Colts and Dallas. They could beat green Bay at home but not on the road.

    but then again, who can the Steelers beat on the road?

    area15steve,

    Can I have Pats -10 for $100,000?



    Line will be around -14, maybe even 14.5.

    Remember Pats are -11 over Indy in AFC Championship Game, so that has to be higher.

    Can I also get the Pats at -10 for $300,000?

    Steelers will win outright if not they should cover any spread. The whole squad should be healthy.

    You know, I'm really starting to like you - and your avatar is fabulous


    Seriously, Baltitmore will not win tonight, but they will be up for the game - bigtime. Everyone wants to beat the best - count on the male ego for that - and the Pats are the best. Some of the convicts on that Baltimore D will, I hope, put a hurtin' on the Pats offense. They have one less day this week to heal before meeting a very tough and physical Steelers D. While the Pats have the 6th-ranked rush offense, it is only because teams get so far behind so early, they abandon the run. If Davenport is healthy, Parker doesn't have confidence issues from his fumblefest, and the defense plays well enough to rattle Brady and Co. I agree with Slippery - the Steelers win outright.
    27-24.

    I was born in Butler, as was my dad and my mom is from McKeesport. We have family in Pittsburgh, Freeport, Butler, and a couple other places.

    Did any of them go to school there in the late 50s?

    Unfortunately not. Danny Woodhead at DII Chadron St broke Bowers' record this past season.
