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.

The edge in the coaching matchup certainly goes to NE, however last time I checked the coaches didn't play defense and if anyone was paying attention the Steelers defense gave the Jets exactly 3 points.

Game on.......

Oh, lol. Now that post was a mistake. If you were paying attention, LMAO, the Pats gave the Colts (you know, best offense in the NFL, record-breaking QB blah blah blah) 3 points as well.

All in good fun, but that post there made me laugh LMAO. The Jets vs. Colts offense can't be compared. Pennington might be a "cutie" ROTFLMFAO, but the Colts O is 10 times what the Jets O is.

WOW, I was very close. Alright PenguinFan, I'm not going to come on here and gloat because quite frankly, I'm not a Patriot fan myself. However, I hope everyone now sees that indeed Roethlisberger is overrated. Pressure got to him and he played a real stinker. Having said that, the blame has to be put on the shoulders of the Steelers D. They allowed 34 points and took 2 very bad penalties and never gave their offense much of a chance to ground and pound. Pats are 6 point favorites in the Super Bowl and they are on an absolute role. Is anyone even giving the Eagles a chance?
