Tennessee at Pittsburgh (09/10/2009)

Well said...........

hmmm..i could be wrong but didn't ben sit out the first two preseason game due to a minor injury?? 

as for pit d being better than last year, we'll have to see..  they maybe better due to another year expereince.. but they are basically fielding the same team...  as is the titans d..  if you look back, haynesworth actually missed that game, and Tn was still about to put pressure on ben and force those fumbles...  jones, who replaced haynesworth, actually played in that game and force 3 of those turnovers.. plus you can actually look at the turnovers in 2 ways.. 1 those turn overs basically shorten the field for both teams.. or 2. those turn over cost them points... in my opinion, it was the former stied of the latter.. so taking that out of the equation do they really score those points..  but who knows...

as for collins, you really can't compare his stats when he was starting b4 in oakland, ny and now...  in oakland, and ny he was expected to win games with his arm..  in TN he expected to manage the game.. 

as far as i see, both them will pound the ball..  it will come down to a battle of the trenches..  i see it farely even when TN got the ball.. but when pits has the ball, TN dline has the upper hand...  rememeber that the steelers o line was one of the worst last year..  and ben was running for is life alot of the time.. its basically the same line back this year.. the oline gave up 49 sacks last year compare to the 12 tn oline gave up... 

all in all.. it should be a very defensive game here...  defence with championship and that what these two teams are built on...  of course all this is one man opinion...  and i wish you all the best on you plays..  as for me..  i'm staying on the under here.. and relying on the strength of these two teams, their defence, to keep things close.. and low..

Nope. He played the whole first quarter in the first preseason game. Sat out the second game. Played the whole first half the third preseason game. And played one series the fourth preseason game.

As for Collins, he also played for Carolina before Oak and NYG. This is his fourth team in a 15 year career. There's a reason for that. It's because he's unreliable and inconsistent.

I'm not trying to talk you out of your picks. Just debating you on them and your reasons for picking them. BOL to you as well.

Over 35  

I do know where to find such a trend. I just posted it.

as for changing my mind...  glad we can have a good debate on this game, and future games without having to worry about upstting anyone....  i know the trends all point against me here...  but just like the strength of both d to hold up here..
