i got in early at 4 and loving it now.  I see this as big pgh defensive statement game and tough matchup for favre where as long as Ben gets some protection he will kill minny downfield.  Pgh will shut down AP and favre will struggle this week trying to press.  It's a statement game for Steeler D and Ben will do more than enough for the cover.  Let's ease up on Favre best QB in league stuff he's done nothing but throw underneath routes and hand off to the best RB in the league. He's having a great year so far but best QB in league??  14th in yds, 5th tds, 3rd passer rating..  This week will show how great he still is because Pgh will seriously limit the dink and dunk crap and force him down field.  He can make a throw here....a throw there but let's see him stretch the defense because that's how you beat the pgh defense. I don't see it

me too, keep it and lay some more on the higher number. minny wins close games, pitts does not, unless playing a winless team.

Polamalu plans on playing vs. Vikings

PITTSBURGH -- Steelers safety Troy Polamalu has returned to practice after sitting out two days to rest his still-healing left knee.

Polamalu practiced Friday with the Steelers' starters and is planning to play Sunday against the unbeaten Vikings. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.

The five-time Pro Bowl safety tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee Sept. 10 against Tennessee.

He returned last Sunday to make an interception against Cleveland, although he said an additional week or two off would have helped the knee recover faster.

After practicing Friday with a knee brace, Polamalu plans to try to wear it Sunday. He discarded the brace after going through pregame warmups before the Cleveland game, saying it restricted his running.
