Ugh....just don't like the way things matchup here. Steelers have been known to give up big plays and late game comebacks and that seems to be the Vikes Method of Operation this year. Steelers ground game against a stubborn Viking run D doesn't thrill me either. Hopefully Jared Allen won't be able to get to Big Ben and the Steeler can keep their passing game going.
D will have to step it up this game and get after Favre and make him turn it over if the Steelers are going to win this one. Should be a good game overall.

Dougerrr, I see it as a close game too. Vikings D has given up shit tons of yards and scores at the end of the game as well, but have been fortunate so far at the end. I think this one comes down to whoever has the ball last. Our secondary is in bad shape, and I can see Ben and Ward going crazy.

I'm picking the Vikings, but I wouldn't put money on it...

tie

yeah....right now I'm thinking 24-20 Vikes but an extra turnover could swing it the Steeler way instead.

The Steelers have been playing to the level of their opponents and I think they rise to the occasion this week. Something finally clicks with the Steelers this week and they actually close a game out.

35-17 Pit

Vikings aren't much of a road team...

3-0 on the road this season, but let's look close at who they've played on the road. Cleveland, Deeeetroit, and St Louis respectively. I don't expect the Vikings to not show up it's just whether they can move the ball on the ground and control possession and if their D is able to get in the backfield.

Steelers by 3, and it's my #1 game to watch this week.

Favres winning streak will come to a sudden end this Sunday....

Tough call here, but I don't think the Vikings can beat the Steelers at home. Pittsburgh in a close game.

Fuck, just checked the TV schedule for Sunday. I have to watch the Pats/Bucs game at fucking London

Why not show a good game, huh?
