    Hell yeah. No one was undefeated going into the Sunday night game....usually, there is someone that has a Sunday or Monday game that we gotta sweat, but it was confirmed right after the afternoon games. 77 guys in the pool overall (some might be duplicates as you can buy in another entry for $20 which I think I will do next week with the big pot), 9 guys went 4-1. I'm now 24-16 on the year.

    LOL, you pick Houston every week.

    Where's that NO/Atl game? In Hotlanta, they win.

    One more revision, talked myself out of the line, and then Eric confirmed I should too plus the Rex Ryan, 4-0 at home vs. the Pats who could be reeling.

    Houston (-33.5) over TULANE
    Nebraska at PENN ST.: UNDER 42.5
    New Orleans (-0.5) over ATLANTA
    NY Giants (+3.5) over SAN FRANCISCO
    NY JETS (-1.5) over New England

    Tampa is a young streaky team. That typically trends to where they play better at home.

    I think Big Ben returning from the ankle injury will rally the Steelers to step it up and fight hard, especially in the spotlight of MNF....so that is why I made the switch.

    Tampa is streaky? They've lost 7 in a row. That sounds consistent to me, lol.

    FYI, here is the Steelers' practice report for Thursday:


    Missing practice on Thursday: OLB Carter, T Gilbert, SS Polamalu, C Pouncey, QB Roethlisberger, WR Sanders.


    I know it's only Thursday, but those are 4 key starters, including 3 Pro Bowlers. Another Pro Bowler (Harrison) is out with a suspension.

    I wouldn't bet against Ben playing, but I won't be stunned if he and/or Pouncey can't go.

    I'm not saying Pittsburgh is a bad pick, I'm just giving you some food for thought. This is a huge game for both teams as they both have tie-breaker situations at hand.
