Steelers and Eagles are my 2 picks for the week, advancing to the Conference Title.
Dude, I like you and all. But if the weather isn't cold as hell like Dan Fouts against Cincinnati 38 below. The Steelers are gonna Loose !!!
I am guaranteeing a Steelers beatdown. Winter storm coming through today, and accumulation is set up for 6 inches of snow by Saturday, and 8 inches by Sunday. 18 Degrees and frigid temps by kickoff. 65,000 crazy, drunk ass Stiller fans in rare form, and I'll be one of them. Maybe after SD anything is fare game, but the SD fairy tale is going to be ending very, very soon.
I will take crow if the upset comes, as I took it before plenty of times, and I'm no sore loser and always take it like a man. I'm sick of debating. Sunday needs to hurry the hell up

I have watched alot of steeler games this year. They have squeeked out wins. They have ZERO offensive line, Poor Big Ben has been pumeled all year long. How they have won with no offensive line is beyond me. Surprised the guy isn't dead from the sacks he has taken this year.
Defense wins games but you gotta score sometime. Good Luck, if it wasn't for the cold weather factor we would beat you guys 48 to 17 !
It will come down to turnovers if it does snow. It may be a 12 to 10 game or for that matter 6 to 3.
This will be my last vent until Sunday night. Win or Lose.
The offense really didn't have the chance to gel as unit all season long, and with good reason. Look, injuries are a part of this game, and if you don't have valuable depth in your backups then you have nothing. The Steelers have had the best depth in the league for years, and have won with their fill guys making valuable starts.
The offensive line has been awful. They have gotten in the mind of Big Ben and that forces him to hold onto the ball too long and panic. We lost our All Pro guard in the offseason. We lost our Pro-bowl Tackle in Marvel Smith to back surgery. We have a new man under center. Our former first Round right Guard Kendall Simmons was lost for the year with an achilies tendon tear. Both of our backup running backs suffered major injuries, and our #1 pick of Mendenhall was lost for the season with a shoulder tear. Our high profile wideout was suspended for the use of mary-jane and since has lost timing with his Quarterback. The list goes on.
BUT! When it comes down to it, and when push comes to shove, the offense pulls it together and beats up on teams when need be and never..ever.. gives up and when the game is on the line, they cannot be stopped. Good teams put aside adversity and go get it when they are needed the most, and THAT is what makes a good football team... finding ways to win, period. I know that if my team is playing like shit, and if the game is in the hands of the offense in the final 3, I have all the confidence in the world of them pulling it out.
Remember now, the Chargers were 4-8 at one point, and struggled against mediocre teams all season, and had to itch out a one point nail biter against the Chiefs to save their season, TWICE! Noone will score more than 24 points on this defense, ever.. esp a team that could score points gain not even 230 yards of total offense in the first meeting.
Good luck, Wix
