      While I see a desparate Titans team seeing their season slip away, all indications are that they are not playing like one. Inspite of that fact, I do see them giving a spirited effort with the Steelers.  I see the Steelers winning in a tight win & cover of 6-7 points.

PITTSBURGH  -  5

   I see my friends EWillie & Oahuboy leaning in the other direction- so this gives me a little cause to think this game even more throughly. After further analysis, I am still sticking with my original bet. My database has revealed that the Steelers have covered over 70 % of the time with less than 6 days between games. They actually did better than I expected against the Eagles (a much better team than the Titans), and the fact that they decided to select Jake Locker instead of Hasselbeck, tells me a lot about HC Mike Munchak's feelings. I also feel the Steelers have a leg up with the hiring of new offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Haley was the Arizona Cards OC and helped them to their 1 st ever SB appearance.He was also the first OC to be hired outside of the organization in over 13 years! For me to play the underdog, they would have to merit the possibly of a cover. I don't think the Titans merit that consideration.

PITTSBURGH  - 5

Well this is a Thursday nighter, and Steelers are desperate for a road win, and Titans are desperate just for a W.  I see this game going over 43, and Steelers winning but not covering. Pit 26 Ten 23

Titans have scored 2 legit TD's in their last two games. One of their touchdowns against the Texans came with like 55 seconds left in the game against the Texans 3rd stringers. Also, the short week will affect the Titans more than it will the experienced Steelers.

I'm taking the Steelers -5 1/2

I'd be surprised if the Titans score more than 10 in this game.
