25-30 Big Ben pump fakes this game. Hey that would make a great poll!

you think we can hold him to 4 TD's??

I was going by his predicted score. Otherwise I would have said 8.

Sacks?

No way. The Broncos will probably sack Ben 32 times. Our O-line is a revolving door. Max Starks? More like Min Starks (corn).

Minutes later, Troy caught the ocean going over the middle and smacked it right in the mouth. The ocean fumbled, Troy recovered and ran it into the endzone. The ocean never messed with Troy again.

Is that a South Park reference I spy

"Polamalu’s lineage can be traced through several roots. Chuck Norris mated with an Amazon Queen, and on the other side, Tony Hawk mated with Mother Nature. The two children of these spawned and fused in a tantric love session to create Troy Polamalu. The mother however died as he tore through the birth canal with a spin move."

28-13 Steelers

Big Ben over 300+ yards and 2-3 TD’s. Wallace over 150 yards.

Mendenhall 75-100 yards 1-2 TD’s.

Good first quarter or half by Broncos leads to our D adjusting and shutting down Orton. I would say they will shut down the run game too, but thats like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. Troy, with extra time to heal, becomes 100% Troy and gets a pick 6.

Book it boys. I’ll be looking for my money Tuesday.
