Those games will be a good indication how good you guys are in my opinion. Good luck!

I like the Steelers in this one. Let's see how Mike gets his team to respond after the lost against KC.

He's still young. He was overhyped early. Teams have done a better job of taking away Mason and he hasn't completely taken his blinders off which slows all the other reads down. He's also got blinders for Rice so he checks down early sometimes IMO (but Rice has given him good reason to many times also). Stats aside, he hasn't made 2/3rds of the "rookie" mistakes he made last year. He's playing about as well as I'd expect. The run blocking, TEs and WRs not named Mason have seemed to regress and that's hurt... maybe even pass blocking a bit but I don't think it's been bad in the games Gaither has been out there.

High ankle sprain is throwing his mechanics off pretty bad. He also is making some dumb decisions, but he is clearly not 100 percent healthy and his passes are off.

Good points. Thanks for sharing. He is killing me in FF though. I have to start McNabb!

This could be close to the game of the week but, I pretty sure Pats vs Saints will take it wth ease. Should be a low scoring hard hitting game as usual. Pats vs Saints will be the complete opposite of this game. This should be a good week of football because, thanksgiving football was horid.

And with that, this game lost it's luster for me. It's still the Steelers, but when my Ravens face the Steelers, I want it to be the real Pittburgh team, not Dennis Dixon.

Still going to be hard hitting, but it's going to be real tough for a QB with one career pass to come into Baltimore on national TV and be successful.

This game could be really ugly with Ben and Troy out...
