What a great matchup! The New York Jets are playing balanced ball on both sides. They have some super talent and some serious confidence after the shocker in New England. I say they have gone as far as they can go though. They were mighty emotional after the win. Not like they have been there before.

The Steelers just find a way each time the game is on the line. They were edged out late by the JETS early this season. That game was without Troy.

Should be close. The Jets will be forced to throw since Pittsburgh is one of the best every year against the run.

Can Dirty Sanchez stay hot against a better rested Steelers? Maybe, but the extra week without a bye and the constant travel has to play a role here.

Pittsburgh - 3 & Over 38 for me.

I'll likely have a large chunk of change on the Steelers only laying 3....

    First of all, I expect the Packers to be raising the Lombardi Trophy, at the end of this years' SB. I also expect the Steelers to be the other team. I have some serious reservations about Pittsburgh going any further in wins  (at least). The N Y Jets WILL NOT cover this game PERIOD! The team just played their SB, and the season for them is officially over.

PITTSBURGH  - 3

OVER 38 (weather permitting)

Steeler fan here, and yes, they have lost 2 at home to the same team.  JAX in Tomlin's first year.  I was there.   Although I dont expect it to happen twice.  Steelers -3

Steelers    -3                 

BOL

Cant stop laughing at this one

Steelers outplayed NY last time, Miller dropping the potential game winner in the end zone. Past 10 years, 5 visits to the AFC championship, 2 SuperBowls. The jets wont be playing in a stadium with silent fans this time ask LT. History, experienced big game winning players in the greatest NFL town ever.THE best defense year in and year out, and Big Ben Rothlisberger its more than stats he is simply the BEST big game QB in the NFL he never quits he makes the plays. Steelers are about TEAM!

Steeler's defense makes the difference.  Look for Troy to be all over the field.  On a close match-up, it is hard to sweep during two games during the season.

Steelers -3 & over 43.5

Last weekend

Pit win

GB over win

Chi win

and NYJ win
