ummm ok, I do it for the NE fans:
1.The first time we didn't have Dillon
2. Rookie QB will choke
I think running the ball plays to the strength of the Steeler defense, This year the Steelers have faced: Curtis Martin 2x, Tiki Barber, Mcgahee, J.Lewis 2X, Rudi, F.Taylor....on and on... They have given up 1 100 yard rusher all year, but Dillon will be the difference.... Go figure!
The Jets near loss is perfect, the public is all over the Pats... The Steelers are playing at home as a dog... Not to mention they made several mistakes that is out of character. I just don't see that happening two weeks in a row....

Things to consider. In the first game, Pitt jumped out to a 21 - 3 lead in the first quarter. Dillon was out. N.E. only rushed the ball 5 times the whole game because they were playing from behind.
N.E. turned it over 4 times. Two fumbles lost and two Brady int's. Pitt no turnovers. One Brady int. was returned for a touchdown.
The turnovers were the difference in the game. It looks like a very close matchup that could go either way. Two great defenses. Rookie QB v. Brady???

3 Reasons why PIT wins;
1. Plex/Ward = +120 yds, 1TD
2. Bettis/Staley = +140, 1TD
3. Palamalu/Run D = +2 take aways, 1TD
Steel bouce back with Game of Year.

I don't disagree with your analysis. I was on Pitt Saturday and the score should have been 20 - 3. I haven't decided on this game yet. It looks like a better game than the Super Bowl will. I think its too close to call, which would lead to taking the home team catching points. Rookie QB is the only thing that bothers me.
Under may the play. I could see a 10 - 6 or a 13 - 10 game.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT THE STEELERS ARE AN UNDERDOG AT HOME?????,WHO CARES ABOUT THE ROOKIE QB,IT IS THE RUNNING GAME THAT WILL TAKE OVER THE GAME FOR PITT,I KNOW THAT DILLON IS A GREAT RUNNER BUT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN ON PITT,THEY HAVE TO BE PISSED ABOUT BEING THE DOG,PLEASE DO NOT GET CLOUDED BY LAST WEEKS GAMES.
PITT +3 10 DIMES, MONEY LINE 5 DIMES!!!!!!

the way to beat the pats defense is by throwing deep.....it escapes me as to why peyton didn't do that......not sure if ben, at this point of his career, is capable of doing it without throwing the ball up for grabs.
