Houston at Heinz Field
The defense dominates and the offense moves the ball well. I think Mario might cause some problems, unless the OL really steps up. Steelers 31-17.
1-0
Cleveland away
This will be a tough game as the Brownies will be jacked up for a nationally televised game. Ben still beats them because the Brown's secondary stinks. Steelers 27-24
2-0
Battle of PA away
McNabb will struggle as the Steelers pass D excels, especially Timmons. Steelers 24-10
3-0
Baltimore at Heinz Field
No offense. An aging defense...no competition again. Steelers 34-7
4-0
At Jax
Hmmm...this one scares me. I think this is the first loss of the season. Jax seems to have the Steelers number. Jaguars 28-20
4-1
Bye week...
At Cinci
The Bengals offense will b OK, but the D is horrific. The Steelers will be dominant in this game. Steelers 27-17, but not as close as the score.
5-1
Giants at Heinz Field
The Giants D-line will get to Ben, but he will make enough plays to win this one. One thing to watch - the return of Plax. Steelers 21-13
6-1
At Washington
This feels like a trap game, and it becomes one. The Steelers should win this one, but they fall short in D.C. Skins 19-17
6-2
Colts at Heinz Field
The Colts certainly can't write off the Steelers, as they did in the 2005 playoffs. The Steelers win a close one at home and punish Manning. Steelers 28-27
7-2
Chargers at Heinz Field
The Chargers have two players that play to the Steelers' weakness - LT and Gates. The Chargers beat the Steelers. Chargers 30-17.
7-3
Bengals at Heinz Field
Time to get healthy after the SD beating. Steelers 37-14.
8-3
At The Razor
NE sucks, but they are so good. The Steelers fall short. 27-20.
8-4
Cowboys at Heinz Field
I think that the D will get to Romo and force mistakes. The Steelers steal one at home. Steelers 20-13.
9-4
At Baltimore
It seems the Ravens are therapeutic for the Steelers. I think Flacco will be starting by this time in the season, and they abuse the rookie. Steelers 34-10.
10-4
At Tennessee
The Steelers struggle against the former Oilers. The Titans play them close and pull one out at home. Titans 24-21.
10-5
Cleveland visits Heinz Field
Hopefully, this game still matters. I'd hate to listen to the Browns fans chirping about beating the Steelers' scrubs. Steelers 24-17.
11-5
And that kids - puts them in the playoffs. I don't think they'll get a first round bye, but that is probably a good thing. That will keep them sharp.
