I've got a gut feeling on this weeks games.  I'm gonna throw some predictions out haphazardly.

1.  We'll start with the most important.  I believe Steelers win this one.
2.  I think they win it big.  I'm calling 27-13.
3.  I think Portis ends the day with 15 carries for 64 yards.
4.  Jason Campbell has his first 2 interceptions.
5.  Big Ben takes 3 sacks, but has a Passer Rating of 101.2
6.  Holmes has a 50+ TD reception.

Why do I think this?  Well point 3 has been well discussed throughout the site already so I won't enter into it much except to say that if we can stop Brandon Jacobs' bruising style, we can take Portis who tends to combine some bruising with some shifty. 

Points 1+2 are obviously joined up.  Here's where the feeling comes from...  I may have my problems with Mike Tomlin's hiring and occasional hands off approach on the offensive side of the ball.  I understand having a hands off style of management, but I think he's confusing, "If it ain't broke don't fix it" with a system that could work tremendously better.  This has also been pounded to death here so I won't go into BA's deficiencies.  What I love about Mike Tomlin is his ability to demonstrate a standard of expectation on the organization.  Losing at home last week probably left such an awful taste in each players mouth that they'll be ready to injure people.  James "Deebo/Silverback" Harrison will long snap a few heads in retribution.  If Mike Tomlin left him into long snap this weekend and just lets him snap it where ever he damn well pleases and then annihilate anyone attempting to pick up the ball.

Point 4, is kind of a corollary to point 3.  I think this will be the first game that Campbell is forced to try and win the game for them as the defense will be stuffing Portis all day.  I think Campbell will eventually try to force a ball down field and Troy will get his 4th interception of the year.  Then late in the game they'll be heaving the ball with the hopes that they can get a last minute touchdown, giving stone hands Ike a chance at the pick.

My general feeling is that without a strong pass rush Ben and the line should hold up fine.  We'll see some strong drives and some drives will stall because of poor play calling.  But I see us cleaning up the penalties that were called on us and with Holmes back our receivers will have more room and separation.

Point 6 stems from the thought that Washington will be overly concerned with the aptly named Washington and will shade deep coverage to his side.  This will leave single coverage for Holmes, the play fake will draw a step out of the safety on Holmes' side and Ben will look to take advantage.  (This play may or may not be called back by Colon holding)

What do ya'll think?  Any ridiculous predictions?  Finally a new statistic that needs to start being tracked:

7.  Total Steelers players fines incurred in this game: $15,000
