***PLAY OF THE DAY: COWGIRLS @ STEELERS***

This is a huge game for both teams. Both teams have been playing outstanding. The fear factor edges goes to the Steelers for the simple fact they have the toughest schedule in the NFL in terms of strength of schedule and having the #1 rated defense vs. the PASS (166ypg), RUN (71ypg). The Steelers get it done....BUT....they are not SUPERMAN. Their record is 9-3 meaning they lost 3 games TY to the Eagles, Giants, and Colts. All good teams of course but so are the Cowgirls with Romo at the helm.

We all know what kind of # the Cowgirls can put up on offense and what Romo means to the Cowgirls, BUT how are the Cowgirls DEFENSE been playing? In the L5 games, the Cowgirls have only allowed 17pp and have held 3 solid teams to 10 points or less. Dallas emerging defense has given the offense some much needed peace of mind and the entire team looks more confident. Dallas will need a good performance on both sides of the ball if they plan on knocking off the Steelers on the road this weekend.

Also, the edge goes to Dallas since they played their last game on Thanksgiving. They have a few extra days to prepare for this game. Throw in the fact the Steelers spanked PATS last weekend and only giving -3 at home in their backyard? The # is low considering how good the Steelers have been playing. The books are not giving the Steelers any respect at home and the # tells me they are asking for Steelers $$$$ on this one...just my opinion folks.

Not to worry Dallas backers....The Cowboys got some good news and bad news regarding two injured starters heading into Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Linebacker DeMarcus Ware practiced with his hyperextended knee on Wednesday. He had no problems and did pretty much everything in the workout, giving coach Wade Phillips hope that he will play.

Ware was a little more definitive, saying there is no way he won't play.

"Full blast," Ware said when asked if he was ready to go. "I won't even be out there if I'm not full blast, because that's the way I play. I play full speed."

Of course I got to throw out a couple of trends.....

Dallas is 4-1 ATS in their L5 games & Pitt is 1-4 ATS in their L5 at home.  The last meeting between these two teams came in 2004 with a 24-20 victory for the Steelers.

My play of the DAY is.................

COWGIRLS +3 (7UNITS) COWGIRLS ML (3UNITS)

BOL FELLAS.....

Opponents tend to sack Ben a lot too.  He's ben sacked 30+ times this season, and Cowgirls as a team have 40 sacks.  Ware has like 15.

The MOBILITY of Romo will be the Key vs. Pitt's Defense.

Boys always played Pitt tough and vice versa...just the nature of the beast. So base on all the facts you are throwing out there, answer me this...why is Pitt on favorite -3 at home? if the Boys haven't played any one notable this season and Pitt beating NE as bad as they had last weekend why is the line only -3 in their backyard?

I'll take Dallas offense over Pitt right now base on #s with Romo behind the helm.

Dallas defense been playing well L5 games holding their L5 opponents under 17ppg...they can only beat what is on their schedule and their defense been playing very, very, well. I'll stick to Dallas ML.

Well Hans, the logic is to take the team with the better Defense cause as they always say...Defense wins game...BUT I just don't like the spread on this game. The Pitt -3 seem kinda low considering how great their defense is, their strength of schedule, and them beating NE the way they did last week. Also, this is Pitt sandwhich game, they got another matchup next week vs. Baltimore for the division matchup, not saying they will look ahead but it got to play with their mind somewhat. I just don't see how Pitt is only fav, by -3 at home. I just think Pitt going to get alot of sharp action, after all, it's always the books vs. sharps, not squares. They are more concern with the pros than the squares.
