The Giants are an alright team. Nothing to fear at all. Just play smart and attack Corey Webster and Antrelle Rolle. Our defense is in full play like hot butter mode right now. Happens around the mid point every year.

And it would be great for the offense to wake up. What a great team for that to happen against right guys?...right?

Early prediction Pitt 27 NY 17

Line play will be key in this. O-line has been looking good the past two weeks.

As much as I hate the Steelers...

There is NO way that team doesn't go into Met Life and play full tilt with the Ravens struggling. Had the division lead been squared away more securely or they held the lead it might be different...

But with the division likely going to be decided in the final weeks of the season I just know Pitt will just go balls to the wall...


Here's to hoping Eli can prove me wrong.

Steelers 35-28

For reasons completely unknown to me, Tom Coughlin has decided to start David Deihl at right tackle over Sean Locklear who had been doing a great job in the past 6 games as the Giants have given up the fewest sacks on the year since Deihl left the lineup.

Why mess up a good thing Tom why?

Giants look unstoppable right now. If they trail, Eli will bring them back. NYG 24, Pit 21.

They were lucky to hold on to a 23-0 lead against Dallas. The only game the Giants looked unstoppable was when they pasted a very good 49ers team. They've had super tough games against all their divisional rivals losing two of them.

They're the champs and they're good, but Ben and Eli should be in a shootout.

Giants 31 Steelers 28

You think it will be a defensive battle?

Lol shootout.

I'll be shocked if its not a shootout.

I'll be a little surprised if it's not, but I didn't expect Romo to throw for 400+ yards and Witten to have 18 catches last week either.

Shootout for Pitt? possibly. But the Giants dont give up points the way they give up yards. Shootout as in over 30 points? I wouldnt bet on it.

And the Giants offense cant pick on Pittsburgh. They dont do so hot against relatively good defenses.

My interest is that it's not a shoot out (my fantasy opponent has Eli) but I fear a shoot out. This isn't your Super Bowl Pitt defense.

Number one pass defense? We cant run the ball anyway? Jekyll and Hyde Eli?

Im not expecting a shootout by NY. But I wouldnt mind one.

Damn, I must confess given their early struggles and Polomalu out I didn't realize that Pitt pass defense was ranked that high. Maybe I should do a quick stat check before I post.
