Knocks down the defender returning it to the house. The ball is knocked loose. Ben runs it in for a TD! Now there’s a bold prediction.

It would be pretty hysterical if Ward were double-teamed.

I’m thinking 100+ yards and 2 TDs. He will surpass his 101yd 1 TD game against Miami in 2006.

I’d be surprised if they double Hines. Actually, it would be bad defense, since he is not a deep threat.

It’s much harder to get to him than it is for them to get to Ben. That o-line is very good, regardless of who’s playing QB. Peterson will get about 75 – 80 on 20 + carries.

Arians lets Ben run the no-huddle for at least half the game, to wear out their DL. Puts pressure on their secondary, too, with which I am not impressed.

And the ST will have a much better game this week. Wouldn’t take much…

1) PAULA-GONA-MAUL-U finally moves out of his parents basement by the end of the year.

2)The Mullet becomes widely recognized as producing super powers.

3) Brett Favre throws a pass so hard it starts to combust while on route to Sidney Rice down the side lines after burning the Steeler d-backs.

4) After game Rothlisberger insists he is trades to Vikings.

5) Steeler fans riot in the streets, disgusted with their pathetic loss.

6) Hines Ward is destroyed by EJ Henderson over the middle and finally stops smiling.

7) Heath Miller sits out the entire game with a brutal case of diarhea.

8) Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson put up a combined 200 yards rushing.

9) Jared Allen hunts down big ben like a predator stalking its prey numerous times.

10) Actually I like Pittsburgs chances in every aspect of this game and thats coming from a vikings fan. I the vikes can pull of this game, then maybe this is the year…..

1. Before the game “Favre” is miss-spelled “Farve” 10 on BTSC this week
2. Win, lose or draw: BubbyBrister6, Billy52, and nycsteelerfan declare the season over if Ben throws a pick or Minn scores a single point in the 4th (just joking around guys, don’t get mad)
3. Cincinnati loses to Chicago and every Steeler fan smiles as they hear a faint whimpering “who dey” cry in the distance.
4. I see the Head & Shoulders Polamalu commercial 5,137 times this week.
5. We see 3 more trolls like this guy who just posted above me.
6. Whichever team loses “it was the refs that lost us the game”

Big Snack ear holes AP and this becomes the first of many concussions that shorten this beast’s career… (remember Eddie George getting hammered by Hampton a few years ago, best hit ever) he dropped the ball before he hit the ground and he was out cold before he hit the turf. Steelers play their first full 60 Minutes and win 31-13.

1. Running game struggles at times, but Mendenhall busts 1 or 2 nice runs to set up key plays. He finishes with another goal line TD.
2. Roethlisberger has another good week tearing apart Minny’s 24th ranked pass defense for 300+ 2 or 3 TD’s 1, maybe 2 picks, does get sacked 5 times.
3. Steeler’s run defense is tested by Peterson, and the Vikings have success early on. Lebeau adjusts and Woodley picks up in Aaron Smith’s absence and plays a big role in stopping the running game similar to last week.
4. Polamalu still not at 100% Favre makes a couple big plays. Polamalu does pick one off later in the game.
5. Steelers pass rush nets 3 sacks. 2 from Harrison and 1 from either Woodley or Timmons, or they each combine for a half sack.
6. Santonio Holmes and Heath Miller each get a TD, and as I said above Mendenhall gets one as well. Hines Ward is Hines Ward again and Mike Wallace has 2 big catches.
7. Good game throughout, we win 21-17
