    One website on Yahoo Sports odds has them only 2 1/2, the rest at 3.

    The betting public believes either the Bungles are not as good as their record or we are not as bad as ours.

    I think it is much more of the latter.

    im extremely antsy for this game. Feels like Raven games of the past. I have full confidence we will beat them this time.

    I truly believe that we are a better team and will win by double digits. What worries me is the potential for us to (once again) beat ourselves, whether it's bad game/clock management by Tomlin or Ben trying to force the ball to AB. If we lose this game, it will be brain farts that do us in.

    I haven't bet on the Steelers since 1989 and don't plan on it anytime soon.

    This was that exact moment that I last bet on the Steelers to win taken from an article I found..

    "Starting at their own 20-yard line, Brister moved the Steelers out of the hole. Then came a critical moment: Brister found rookie receiver Mark Stock all alone on a post pattern over the middle, and he put the ball right on the numbers. If Stock caught the ball, he easily could’ve gotten close to the Broncos 40-yard line and then out of bounds before the two-minute warning. The Steelers then would have had that timeout and two of their own to use the running attack the Broncos couldn’t stop to get Anderson into position for another playoff-game-winner.

    But Stock dropped the ball. Two plays later, Brister couldn’t handle Chuck Lanza’s low snap from the shotgun formation, and the Broncos recovered the resulting fumble to seal the win and earn a trip to Cleveland for the AFC Championship Game."

    What's the odds on Ramon Foster going Willie Colon on Burfict? Foster was pretty teed off about the Bell tackle and burficts reaction. This game will be chippy for sure.

    If the Steelers spend their energy going for a payback against Burfict, they will lose and they will lose big.
    If they play the way their capable of on all sides of the ball then they come out on top.

    I don't think so. If the opportunity presents itself, I bet there's some more physical line play with Burfict on the receiving end. Not like they're going to abandon the game plan. I'm just saying when the o-line gets to the second level or a blitz pick up, they'll take full advantage of that opportunity to punish that guy.

    Vince sent out that tweet too but the only way he gets a shot at him is pregame. Didn't Porter mix it up with some players once?

    Steelers can get payback for bell by beating them... Then in the playoffs too if it comes to it.

    All week long I have seen post on social media about how The Steelers are do this and that, from dominate, to get Burfict! This is one week I am really nervous and have kept quiet. I think its gonna be a slobber knocker for the first half, and one team is gonna take control in the second, I just hope its us. I cant wait until Sunday! Only delemma I have is which Jersey I should wear this weekend

    The Steelers have the fire power the last game Ben was rusty and made some bad throws only 1 TD and 3 Int's ...Of course we lost Bell so that hurt as well ,we should play much better this game...

    To me this needs to be a statement game , not only should we play to win we should play to win big ...This is the game that could help set up a future win in the playoffs. If we go in there and take it to them from start to finish in all 3 phases of the game it will be very damaging to the Bengals already fragile mental make up...
