steelers have no running game, jags offensive line hasn't looked good. i would stay away but lean jacksonville at home

To close a call for me.

pitt has alot of injuries
dont think they'll be able to get a running game going
roethlisberger might be a little banged up as he usually is
he's gonna have to avoid sacks, and have a strong throwing game against a possibly depleted jax secondary for pitt to stay in this game

jax has been improving their receiver situation
garrard and the rb's are ok

jax should win, line seems about right

I like the over --- Pittsburgh will be flinging the ball tonight with no RB, plus the Jax secondary is suspect. Jacksonville, will mix it up well, also passing rather than tangling with the Steeler front 7. Jax's receivers are also getting healthier, and their offensive line is regaining their health to protect Garrard.

I like the OVER a lot.

But Jax haven't played any good team so far. they are 4-0 but look at who they played? Going with Pitt plus the point here. Or maybe staying away for me.

Jacksonville is 2-2. They have played Tenn, Indy, and Buffalo.

You're right, didn't know what I was thinking.

I don't think Pittsburgh has any starters playing? And those who are, are playing banged up. You'd be hard pressed to find a more physical team in the league than the Jags. I think they will knock Big Ben out of the game and make life miserable for anyone who touches the ball. I honestly can't see how Pitts wins this one. But this is the NFL.

I'm not sold that the Jags can run on the Steelers. The Jags aren't as physical this year as in years past. Especially with the departure of Stroud, and the instability on the offensive line. Not that the Steelers are that physical anymore either, but I think this game will come down to Garrard vs Roethlisberger, and I will take Ben 100% of the time in that matchup.

going with the jags pretty heavy. Pitt almost lost to the f*ckn ravens on national tv.

Not saying that the jags are close to the ravens defensively but their not too far behind.

Jacksonville looked good last weekend and has been playing solid of late. i just see too much fire power for jacksonville, dont know how the steelers can keep up with them.

i mean, just look @ how many injuries the steelers have....
