Big Ben is OUT

[PhillyDog]

Just got this off CBS Sportsline.

How does this impact everyone's decision? Do you still like Pitt -3??

under looks EVEN better now as they will pound pound pound the ball inside

 

[mrpotter1]

Tommy Maddox to start. They still roll in this one. The only team that can beat them in Pitt is NE!!

 

[Pipefitter]

Ward is banged up also but i think Pittsburgh gets it done today....

 

[Insiders]

GO Jacksonville.

Steelers will still win. Not much more value left in under as it would have been a defensive battle anyway and now defense might score enough to go ove rthe meager total. Great game to watch for this Steeler fan(no bet) as it will be real Eddie Shore Football!

Eddie Shore??? Wasnt he a hockey player, albeit a smash mouth, blood and guts one? LOL. I agree, Steelers will win.

anyone that watched the steelers impressive win over the chargers on Monday night knows that the steelers didn't win because of Big Ben.

Truth is, I'm probably layin off it too...seems a little too obvious. Best of luck to you as well :drink:

Ben being out means nothing. Its not like he's Peyton Manning and their whole offense relies on him, the guy throws 13 passes a game. Must of them little dumps, slants, screens and the athletic WRs do the rest. Willie Parker, Jerome Bettis and defense is their gameplan every week, with tough inside football. They will continue to only throw 15 passes this game with Maddox.

For some reason, that +3.5 looked good anyway though. Jacksonville is a physical team too, and very underrated. They will play the Steelers tough and I think that half point may make a world of a difference.
