15-1 is a great record, the defense has awesome stats, the Bus is back. All those things look good for the Steelers, but the thing that impresses me the most is that they went on the road against the hottest team in the NFL and dominated . . . with their B team.

Pittsburgh -9 (+100) 2 units

Surprised to see how heavily backed the Rams are in this spot. I saw this game as a matchup of a team that everyone knows sucks versus a team that only some people know sucks, but it didn't pan out that way. Don't think that Atlanta will play that well in this game, and not enough points for me to back the Rams. Both offenses will struggle

Under 48 1/2 unit

Vikings surprised me last week by showing up in big game, but let's see them do it again this week without the benefits of 4 turnovers. Philly traditionally has some heartbreak in the playoffs, but those teams (2000 Giants, 2001 Rams, 2002 Bucs) had a lot more to offer than these Tice-led Vikings. McNabb will have a huge day with the receivers that he has. Vikings pass D is that bad.

Philadelphia -8.5 1 unit

Playoffs have been just a blast so far. :(

Seeing the possibility of snow flurries on the horizon is enough to make me take the Pats before the line starts moving today. The Colts offense will have some success against the Pats, but it won't be Colt-like impressive. The Pats have been dealing with these secondary injuries for almost half the season now and they'll be fine.

The matchup that's the mismatch is the Pats O v. the Colts D. Indianapolis has given up their yards between the 20s and relied on negative plays like sacks and penalties to keep their opponents out of the end zone and off of the scoreboard. The Pats' balance won't give them that luxury. It's been 2 year since the Pats have lost at Gillette and it won't be today.

Taking Montana over Marino in this matchup

19 straight at Gillette,756days without a home loss,Manning 0-6 at Foxboro,plus they get Bill Corrolo's crew who is 10th out of 18 in penaltys called and most of what they call is pre-snap penaltys, so they should let the boys play,which is good for Pats.Also,just saw live update of field,which has alot of sand,and ice chips.This will definately bode well for slowing down colts.Heading out for Gilette now ,so good luck on Pats,
