pittsburgh cannot score without big ben. tennessee on the other hand will confuse the pittsburgh D with vince young running the ball and throwing it. tennessee looks like a team that wants to take the championship. i called their huge win against oakland and will call their huge win against pittsburgh.

early bet tennessee -5

I think there is almost NO chance that Tennessee put up 38 point against the Steelers but I also think that there is NO chance for Pittsburgh to put up 15 points vs the Titans. This was the output for both teams last week end and Pitt need a TD in OT at HOME to achieve thier 15 point total. The Current line of TENN-5 seem fair enough to me and I think that once Tennessee scores thier first TD in the game they will maintain NO LESS that a 7 point lead for the entire remainder of the game. The Steelers defense will have to score for them to have a chance in this contest. Titans at home -5 is easily my selection here.

My Guesstimate - Tennessee-24 Steelers-13

Yeah I don't see Pittsburgh lettin up 24 points to Tennessee. They let up 9 points and only 58 yards rushing last week to an offense with a lot more weapons.

They also haven't allowed a 100-yard rusher on them since late 2007. And CJ hasn't done much against this defense in the past. He ran 16 times for 69 yards as a rookie in 2008 at Tennessee. And he ran 15 times for 57 yards last season in the opener at Heinz Field. This is a much better and different defense with Polamalu healthy. I think Lebeau will confuse Young with his blitzes and force some turnovers.

I also expect Pittsburgh to open up their playbook a little more for Dixon. For someone who made just his 2nd career start last week I though he did pretty well (18-26 for 236 and 1 int) and limited his mistakes.

Tennessee looked good last week but this isn't the Raiders they're playing.

STEELERS +5/UNDER 37

Steelers can't do anything right offensively right without Ben. And they are playing a superbowl contending team on the road.

Ten-24

Pitts-14

FIrst post on here.....Been reading some good insight for years..

The wonderlick score of VY will rear its ugly head in this game,as pitt's defense will confuse all day.The point spread does seem reasonable as dixon should have had 3 int.s last week rather than 1.PItts d should score in this game/Johnson should b somewhat corraled as well.I usually dont like teaser bets.....However.....6 pts to pitt to make them plus 11?Im all over that!!!!!!!.Probably connect that to a college fball total.......GL alll!!

Just hope he wins by 6 on this coming Sunday vs the Steelers.

Tennessee - 25                            Pittsburgh - 13

Titans -5                             over 37

Don't see the Pitt QB Dixon having much success on the road vs this Titan defense. Partytime in Nashville, Titans go 2-0

You call beating Oakland a HUGE win? Please. Oakland was 5-11 LY and did nothing to improve at QB.

Come on Coloneljim. Where is the love for the Black n Gold.

I like the Steelers even with Dixon at QB. For the Titans, you can't replace Keith Bulluck, Vanden Bosch and Mawae. Pittsburgh found out LY how hard it is to replace two great starters on D. Steelers D looked back to it's great self against Altanta's Matt Ryan, who is much better than a Heisman hopeful Vince Young.

Pittsburgh 23 - Titans 13
