Exaxtly, Pittsburgh won as a team this year 16 times and they will win number 17 as a team. Over-rated QB or not, this TEAM wins. While Indy was the publics favorite New Englands win over them is not really all that impressive when you factor in what kind of road team Indy was this year, yes they were 5-3 on the road, however the 5 road wins came against teams with a combined 17 games UNDER .500 record! Reguardless of what the coaching staff at Indy says this is a team built to win indoors, if they had to play any kind of decent road schedule they may not have made the playoffs at all. These kind of things go overlooked by the betting public all the time right before they pound their head on the ground wondering how thier 3 point favorite who looked so dominating the week before gets their ass kicked in an AFC championship game (That exact theory holds true for 2001 when Pittsburgh was a 9.5 point favorite).
Tired of hearing the rookie QB theory, and tired of hearing the Corey Dillon was not in the lineup earlier this year when the Steelers made quick work of NE. They were down 21-3 before they knew it, you don't run the ball all that much when your behind 3 scores anyway, and the defensive line of the Steelers CONTROLLED the game anyway.
This game will be over at half time and you heard it here first.
