I can't believe I'm betting an NFL favorite

[bigboydan]

What am I missing here.

I can't believe that the Steelers are only -3 against Dallas. This is actually really scary because I just don't see Dallas even competing in this game at all.

[laxdjock]

PITT should win most of the time, but the boys are fighting for a playoff spot, and they are one of the most talented teams in the league. If I HAD to pick this game...I'd go PITT, but there is better value out there.

[bigboydan]

I'm sorry but I don't buy the "must win" thinking sir. The Cowboys are a bad team this year and are in disarray right now.

[topcat]

you could have a good play,its all acording if the cowboys offense can protect tony.the cold wheather thing for dallas also comes into play.the steelars defense is so damn scaryto. good luck if you play the game dan.

i dont know why you think dallas wouldnt be competing in this game that comment just makes me cringe DALLAS is back terrance newman is back and pacman jones is gonna be in action there defense looks so good since the redskins game even though against lesser teams there getting to the quarterback and playing the run good... and we all know about there offenese you could be very right with the steelers winning the game but dont know why you think dallas wont be playing

the first three to four gams they played they looked good.then they got the injury bug with tony,felix,barber,and whitten.hard to win games like that.

[LT Profits]

Why would Dallas not compete? They are the more desperate team, as they are actually out of the playoffs at this second. This is basically a meaningless game for Pittsburgh, as they could virtually lock up the division by beating Baltimore next week.

And besides, it may be just me, but I have lost faith in Big Ben in tight games. The Steelers win by building leads and then controlling clock with their running game. When the games were close though, Ben could not get it done vs. Colts and Giants.

i agree with what you are saying,but the biggest qestion is can the offense protect tony from the pitsburgh defense?

can they protect him YEA are the steelers gonna get pressure YEA HERE AND THERE Im sure dallas is gonna get plenty of pressure on big ben who has been playing terrible of late and the steelers are just getting by there last few weeks remember the steelers were the team who alot of people thought the texans would upset in week 1 now they are 9-3 there good but not that good

mannig is damn good,but his team is off this year,but saying that they played a hell of a game agaist the steelers,and the giants are playing out of this world.i agree that big ben is off this year in tight games,but i think when willie parker starts to click,he will help ben.

some people though that the jaguars were going to win the superbowl,but everybodys got opinions.my thing on this game will be decided on the protection tony.thats all iam saying.if i bet this game i will be going with dallas.

[johnny baseballs]

yea there more stronger plays in my eyes even though i think dallas will win i got 3 other games i rather go with 1st but i loved dallas the last 3week bet them each time

[ocho cinco]

dallas has to have the ability to run either with barber or choice. if they can run, it's gona open up the passing game.

iam glad you won money.dallas looked better when tony came back.the seahawks game looked liked magic between owens,and tony.iam also lookind at 2 or three games. myself one being the cardinals.they will want blood after the embarasement against the eagels.i like the team total to go way over.they have way to much fire power.

[Dark Horse]

Weather could be big for this game. Forecast is snow showers and freezing. If Barber is out Dallas has no running game. That's going to make it a lot easier for Polamalu & co to pick off Romo. Not touching this until Barber situation is clear.

Edit - Polamalu hasn't practiced for the last two days. Willie Parker is good to go.

[kevsworld]

BArber is t he key to this game for Dallas, w/o him and the Boys are going to have a rough time winning. I see Dallas putting it back together and they were playing strong and Tony is looking good...with a healthy Barber, I see a win, w/o, I'm not sure they can win.

Pitt has been struggling offensively, particularly Ben...he looks to be settling down and gaining confidence, but still having issues.

The weather, the defense, home field all lean towards Pitt...theres your points...I believe the key for Dallas winning lies with Barber's health.

[TonyHoliday]

i like the boys, prob won't touch this one

[TonyHoliday]

boys O is just coming into it's own.

I still don't really buy the hype about Pit's D. I think it is one of the best in the league but not so strong that an offense with more weapons then any that is finally gelling can't score on.

[fiveteamer]

I can't figure these two teams out.

passing.

[The_Kid]

Marion Barber is definitely out for this game.

[yisman]

Pittsburgh is easily the better team.

I am with you on this one Danny!

Dallas is overrated! and Wade Phillips is garbage, just as bad as Dick Jauron and Herman Edwards!@

[The Seer]

Dallas wins straight up. Romo creates plays. He will not stand there like a statue like the Pitt D is used to. It gets cold in Dallas too. It's not gonna be 40 below 0 or anything.

[MJFtheGenius]

I'm sorry but I don't buy the "must win" thinking sir. The Cowboys are a bad team this year and are in disarray right now.

their 8-4 last time i checked

The Steelers have one more win

am I missing something here????

I am taking the Cowboys now just because your picks stink
