Steelers in a walk --31-13

Titans run D may be less stellar without Haynesworth... But they didn't have him in the lineup last year and stuffed Parker like Bates Motel moose head. 

No way do I see this a walk.  No way.  Key to the game is Ben not having 4 flippin' turnovers.

Tough one to call.  

Super Bowl hangover or does that towel incident help to get them pumped?  

Will Nate stick it to his old team?  

Will LW regret his continued disrespect for the towel?  Will his attention be diverted by a strategically placed hot dog cart?

Dunno.  As some know, I haven't really been able to keep a close eye on how the team has looked through camp and the preseason to offer up any insight of real value.

It's their home opener, but IMO, Steelers (-6) just...feels a little on the high side.  I expect a close, relatively low scoring, punch-'em-in-the-face kinda slobberknocker.  20-17...23-20...17-16...~ish.

Edit:  Believe it's at -6.5 now.  If it goes to (-7) by gametime, I may consider throwing some on Tennessee for Ss&Gs...and to lock up a blowout win for Steel town.

2nd Edit:  Like the over (35.5) and the Titans (+6.5).

Two and a half minutes to go in the game and the Steelers are up, 26-20.  The Titans drive is about to end before it gets started on 3rd and short from their own 22 yard line.  The Steelers defense bites hard on a run fake and Drunky goes deep to Nate Washington who streaks past Gay down the right sideline.  The ball clanks off Nate's hands at the 50 yl and Steeler Nation collectively exhales.

Stephan Logan runs the subsequent punt back for a TD and seals the deal, Steelers win 33-20.  BAM!

Go Steelers!

I want to see Lendale and Mr. Harrison hit the hole at the same time, full speed, and see a Lendale yard sale (he gets hit so hard all his stuff, shoes, gloves, helmet, uniform, etc fly off and scatter about - so it looks like a yard sale).  I'd like to see Nate take a good hit from Clark.  Nate's OK, but he needs a shto just to keep him in check.  He's pretty much dead to me!!!!!!
