Week 12 Predictions:

GB @ DET - Green Bay by 100 :shock:

OAK @ DAL - Dallas' inept offense gets rolling against a very marginal Raiders team. Dallas by 21.

NYG @ DEN - Can Denver seriously keep losing? They're not that good, but have to win one of these games eventually. Broncos by 10.

MIA @ BUF - Miami never does well in cold weather cities this time of the year, so I think this one ends up being quite close. Miami by a field goal.

SEA @ STL - This is like Cleveland versus Detroit all over again. Seattle wins it 3-2 :shock:

IND @ HOU - ***UPSET ALERT*** I have ZERO right predicting Houston to win this game after their tank job against the Titans last week. Houston pulls it out by 3.

CLE @ CIN - The Girl Scouts are an organization in complete shambles and there is simply ZERO reason to pick them regardless of who their opponent is. Bengals by 14.

CAR @ NYJ - Jets get of the snide this week and beat Carolina by 7.

TB @ ATL - Atlanta gets back over .500 and win this one by two touchdowns.

WAS @ PHI - Eagles by 10.

KC @ SD - Chargers keep on rolling. San Diego by 14.

JAC @ SF - San Francisco brings Jacksonville's streak to an end. 49'ers by a touchdown.

CHI @ MIN - So tempted to pick Chicago in the upset here, but Cutler just won't allow me to do it. Vikings by 10.

ARI @ TEN - ***UPSET ALERT*** Tennessee continues their roll and beat the Cardinals by a field goal.

PIT @ BAL - HUGE test for Pittsburgh to prove they're half as good as Travis thinks they are, based on the teams they've defeated. I'm still not ready to write the Steelers off but if they can't win this game, it might be time to stick a fork in them. I like the Ravens by two touchdowns.

NE @ NO - Get ready for a track meet. Neither of these defenses are stopping the other offenses, and the Saints don't have Revis to cover Moss. Welker is simply not able to be covered by anyone in the NFL and I think both NE receivers have big games. Patriots by a touchdown.

Anybody can rah rah about the regular season. We've seen it time and time again and usually the "favorites" fall flat on their face in the postseason and simply burn out more times than none. It's simple, get into the playoffs, and it's a whole new ball game. Don't discount teams like the Chargers, Cardinals, or even Dallas just yet. Over the last 10 seasons, the Steelers/Patriots/and Colts have combined Super Bowls of 6, so if EITHER of those teams, if not all, make the playoffs, gear up because one of those teams are shooting for it, no matter what happened during the regular season. We will see.

The Cardinals aren't a factor in my mind and won't be when the playoffs roll around. They're a one and done team. As for the Chargers...I like Philip Rivers a lot, so they have the ability to make things tough in the AFC. That said, Tomlinson is the biggest pussy in the history of the NFL and will disappear like he ALWAYS does when the playoffs roll around. Also, Norv Turner will manage to get outcoached by any coach he faces in the playoffs. As far as Dallas is concerned, they're in the weaker conference, so they'll definitely get into the playoffs. In my mind, they're not that different from San Diego. Their head coach is a buffoon and that team will NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER win anything with Phillips as their coach. There is a reason that this guy has never won a playoff game in his life. I will be very surprised if the NFC representative in the Super Bowl isn't either the Vikings or Saints. I could see a surprise team, like the Chargers coming out of the AFC as a more likely scenario. If I had to make a Super Bowl prediction right now, I'd call Vikings versus Colts. I'm still hoping that Favre chokes on his massive fucking ego in the playoffs. Couldn't happen to a bigger douchebag.

Big Ben OUT Sunday Night against Baltimore.

Season on the line, 2nd year Quarterback against a rival IN Baltimore in prime town. Welcome to the NFL Dennis Dixon. We'll see how good or how bad the Steelers team really is Sunday Night. Do or die. :shock:

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is expected to miss Sunday night's game at Baltimore because of a concussion.

Persons familiar with Roethlisberger's status spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity on Saturday because the team has not made an announcement.

The development would force Dennis Dixon — who has thrown only one pass in two NFL seasons — to make his first NFL start in a game the Steelers might need to win to make the playoffs.

Roethlisberger practiced all week despite sustaining his fourth concussion since 2006 during a 27-24 overtime loss in Kansas City on Sunday. On Thursday, during his only interview of the week, he said he had been cleared to play, joking he passed "thousands of tests."

Roethlisberger, however, experienced headaches resulting from the concussion — his head struck the knee of Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson as he leaned headfirst during a running play in overtime — and he began debating the wisdom of playing after consulting with the team's medical staff.

The Steelers continued to list Roethlisberger as questionable on Saturday, meaning there is a 50-50 chance he would play — creating the possibility Roethlisberger could decide at game time he is ready to go, if cleared by team physicians. There also is a possibility he would be listed as the third quarterback, allowing him to play in an emergency.

Foxsports.com first reported that Roethlisberger would not play.

Dixon, the former Oregon quarterback who has not played this season, took more snaps than usual in practice Friday — the first sign Roethlisberger's status might change. Coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday the team expected Roethlisberger to play, and there were no signs Wednesday or Thursday he wouldn't.

If Dixon does start, the Steelers likely would rely mostly on running backs Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker and trim the amount of throws Dixon makes. Dixon was an excellent runner in Oregon's spread offense, but the Steelers - like every NFL team - limit their quarterback's running because of the risk of injury.

The Steelers (6-4), losers of their last two and a game behind Cincinnati (7-3) in the AFC North, were so convinced Roethlisberger would play, they did not sign an experienced quarterback even after backup Charlie Batch broke his left wrist a few plays after replacing Roethlisberger on Sunday. Their game plan for the Ravens (5-5) also was built around Roethlisberger playing.

Batch will miss most or all of the rest of the regular season. Tyler Palko, the former Pitt quarterback who didn't sign or practice with the team until Thursday, would be the backup despite going through only two practices.

Dixon's only game action came in a mop-up role against Cleveland in the final game of last season. He would be the most inexperienced Steelers quarterback to be thrown into a starting role since rookie Mi ke Kruczek replaced the injured Terry Bradshaw in 1976. Kruczek went 6-0 as a starter despite not throwing a single touchdown pass, and ended his five-season NFL career in 1980 without throwing a scoring pass.

Roethlisberger's apparent decision to not play comes in the same week the NFL has taken a heightened stance on protecting players from head injuries. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to teams outlining steps the league is tasking to reduce head impacts.

Roethlisberger also had two concussions in 2006, one in a motorcycle accident, and another last season in that Browns game in which Dixon played.

"It's part of the nature of the beast of playing this game," Roethlisberger said Thursday. "It's a violent, physical contact sport and there's a chance you're going to get hit. You guys don't talk about the bruises we have all over our bodies. If I showed you a bruise on my shoulder and a bruise on my shin, it wouldn't get talked about as much. It's a violent sport we play."

WHOA! This is HUGE news, dude. Unless Dixon comes in and pulls a Tom Brady (i.e. becomes a force and only gets to show it due to the starter getting injured), the Steelers are in SERIOUS trouble. I've already told you how I feel about the Steelers without Ben, and am going to change my weekly predictions right now. Baltimore may not have the defense it once had, but I suspect they will wreak havoc on a guy with ZERO NFL experience. Ravens by a minimum of 10 points.

Agree. This came at a BAD time. I completely agree with Ben sitting out and concussions aren't something to mess around with. But from a football standpoint, he practiced all week, we have the game plan in to work around his ability, and it wasn't until Friday where things took a dramatic turn. Tomlin was so confident that Ben was going to play that we completely pushed aside the fact of bringing in a veteran Quarterback to take some reps just in case something bad happened during the week.

Now that Ben is officially out, this forced us, only a DAY in advance, to throw out all that practice time, game plan and come up with a new one to work around Dixon's abilities to make him more comfortable of where we want to go. (Our 2nd QB backing Dixon is Tyler Palko, who was JUST brought up from the Canadian league to run the practice squad.) We should of took every pre-caution and ruled out Ben as soon as Monday so Dixon or whoever could of came in and took necc. reps with the first team. This COULD get ugly. The veterans MUST step up and rally around this guy because Dixon does have the ability to game manage, it's all about veterans stepping up and playing advanced football. I would of been 100% confident in Batch stepping in but an inexperienced QB going up against a D like this in their house isn't a nice welcome. Something tells me Baltimore is going to feast on this. Hopefully Dixon surprises, gets the legs movin' and squeaks out a W. The rallying cap is on to save the season.

Would be nice to have Leftwich around this year now wouldn't it? That was a pretty damn good backup.

Bad move by Lefty to move outta here. He was never going to pan out in Tampa regardless of starter status and would of eventually been #3 since Freeman was their future so he gambled and lost big time. Pittsburgh would of been a better fit for him for the long run. The first name to pop in my head when this all went down was Leftwhich or Garcia, but unfortunate that the trade deadline is over AND Leftwhich injured his elbow and is out for the season. The situation at backup QB for Pittsburgh is ugly. Expect us to bring in a solid veteran come Monday. Damage could be done by then. I'm hopin our D can step up and take pressure off Dixon and we can control the ground game. Dixon has legs and could work in the open field.

An even more brutal hit the Steelers took that no one wants to talk about is that our best offensive lineman, left guard Chris Keamateu (and Ben's blindside) is out with a MCL sprain and would be out for the next couple weeks and is replaced with a ROOKIE in Ramon Foster. Arians will probably boot Dixon out and work out of the pocket but Baltimore is licking their chops as we speak. :x

Sorry dude...Injuries are part of the NFL. Four of the five Patriots' offensive lineman are injured right now and their rookie Sebastian Vollmer was only playing because Matt Light got hurt and now Vollmer is hurt. They barely have enough offensive lineman to field a team right now. Also, Fred Taylor and Sammy Morriss have been out most of the season, leaving them Laurence Maroney (Who, by the way, was selected before Maurice Jones-Drew, Joseph Addai, and DeAngelo Williams in the draft), who sucks! Injuries are simply inevitable in the NFL. I don't think Pittsburgh is close to a great team. I think they're a very average team who Ben makes SIGNIFICANTLY better and without him, they're fucked. If he's only out a week, they still might be able to play themselves into a Wild Card, but they won't be a serious threat when the playoffs roll around. As I told you and Dan weeks ago when Dan told me that they were the "best team in football" and would win the Super Bowl again this season...they have ZERO shot of winning the super bowl this season, and aren't even close to the best team in the conference, with or without Roethlisberger. This isn't their year dude. Time for you to get ready for the Pirates season. That should be another riveting 162 games :shock: :shock: :shock:

I know injuries are apart of football, all I was saying is there is a rookie starting left guard (on an ALREADY so-so offensive line), to protect a 2nd year, inexperienced QB and that's and even bigger concern in my opinion, esp against a defense that brings the heat and busts some skulls. As for having zero shot at winning the Super Bowl, I wouldn't go that far, if we can somehow escape a nightmare tonight and push our way into the playoffs it's an even slate and anything goes. The Giants, Cardinals, Steelers of '05 or New England of '01 was thought to have a ZERO shot at winning or going to the Super Bowl also and we knew how that turned out. Even though the Steelers as of right now are possibly a one and done football team.. as long as they are mathematically in the running and land a spot, I feel pretty good about our chances to defend the title but I know that we are weak and are hurting and this probably isn't our year since you can't win it everywhere, but as along as there's a chance I'm gunning for it. I Never give up and will be glad to go down til the last breath. 8)

Week 12 Predictions:

GB @ DET - X- Liked GreenBay

OAK @ DAL - X- Liked Dallas

NYG @ DEN - X- Liked the Giants


MIA @ BUF - Miami is just an all around better team than Buffalo, and with Pittsburgh on the ropes tonight, teams like Miami know they have a shot at the WC. Miami by 10.

SEA @ STL - Uhhhhh, Seattle by 1.

IND @ HOU - My dad also like this as an upset. Houston is a GOOD football team and if they actually had a kicker (Kris Brown sucks and he sucked in Pitt also!) then they'd be in command of a playoff spot. I like Manning though and Indy, AGAIN pulls out another tight, close one. Indy by 5.

CLE @ CIN - Cincy will rebound after a pathetic 4th quarter collapse (How does it feel!) and will get back on track this week. Cincy/Cleve games are always close and Cleveland might pull an upset, so with that said, Cincy by 18.

CAR @ NYJ - There's just SOMETHING about the Jets that one day you think they have what it takes, and the next they completely fold on the river. Sanchez is really playing terrible and his rookie showing is something to expect down the stretch. He'll only get better. Carolina by 4.

TB @ ATL - Atlanta has the tools to be a team with major weapons and pound a team, but they haven't showed it this year. This is a team to look for in the future and they STILL have a shot at a WC. Atlanta by 13.

WAS @ PHI - Philly needs to get rolling. Philly by 17.

KC @ SD - Chargers are a scary team right now and they just KNOW when to turn it on every year, regardless of their start. We'll see how a REAL team handles a team like KC. SD by 23.

JAC @ SF - UPSET: Jacksonville is holding down that 5th spot for the WC chase but I think they stumble like they should have for many weeks. San Fran by 8.

CHI @ MIN - Favre and Peterson go CRAZY and destroy the Bears in the dome. I say the Over/Under for the Bears turnovers is at least 5.

ARI @ TEN -Arizona should win this game and take note of what New England did to Tenn since they have the offense to do it and air it out and go down field on a so-so secondary that could get burned. Cards by 13.

PIT @ BAL - The only way for Pittsburgh to win this would be resiliency on defense, and the veterans to step up and rally behind an inexperienced QB. Dixon is a helluva athlete and maybe he can do things with his legs that Baltimore will be unprepared for. The defense simply won't be able to do EVERYTHING. Arians will mix it up and try to provide Dixon with as much comfort as possible. Look for Bootlegs and roll outs. Also don't count out a little trickery here and there. Mendenhall will be a work hoarse tonight but I expect the Ravens to feast off of this and make the Steelers one dimensional. Hope they surprise me. Baltimore by 13.

NE @ NO - This is going to be a HELLUVA game between two mirror images. You'll know what you have with both of these teams come Tuesday Morning for the rest of the way until January. New England by 4.

No you won't. You've said it before and it's one of the VERY few things that you and I ever agree upon...The NFL changes EVERY week. What I do know is that since 2001 the Patriots haven't even lost 10 games in almost 10 years after Thanksgiving, which is an astonishing statistic. I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see either team win this game but I don't think the outcome of this game makes a bit of difference in terms of what it means come playoff time. Both of these teams are already in the playoffs and both of these teams will win their division. Home field isn't even an issue for this game, because the only way that these two teams can meet again would be in the Super Bowl.

The NFL indeed changes week to week (if not DAY TO DAY) but this is the final stretch and this isn't the first 5 weeks to where teams can do some things and muster something up their sleeves to kind of get ahead on their opponents. Teams by now have an identity and what you see on film is what you see on the field and coaches now expect and plan against what teams will now do in football situations. I believe both of these two teams,(2 of the 4 best teams in the league) New England and New Orleans, who match up well, will make a statement and show how both of these teams could perform in the playoffs and what exactly the league is dealing with. Who knows, which ever of these two teams come out on the losing side, there could be a slide into the playoffs and both teams could be exploited Monday night in some way or another. That's what happens when two Goliath's go at it but I expect these two teams to go far anyhow in January.

That won't happen. Obviously one team is going to lose tomorrow night, but it's not going to affect either team for the rest of the season. Neither team is going to blow the other team out, and I suspect that the last team with the ball will win the game. If the Patriots had the ball last in the Colts game, they would have won that game, but the Colts got it last. New Orleans won't go undefeated because they still have teams like Dallas and Atlanta on the schedule, but they also have the Redskins and Tampa, so they'll be fine. In my opinion, one of these teams will make it to the Super Bowl and the other will not. January will tell us which team is the team constructed for the playoffs.

Rare sit down interview with Bill Belichick with NFL.com. He addresses the whole "4th and 2" call against the Colts right off the top and in typical Belichick-speak where he simply states "We did what we thought was best for our team".

Yet another completely BOGUS Pass Interference call against Houston to give the Colts a 43 yard gain. The NFL REALLY needs to stop this fucking embarrassment.

Well they had a chance but now the officials got involved... more phantom pass interference calls on behalf of the Colts.

The NFL loves it's Manning.

It's kinda fun to listen and watch the local media just laugh at Mangini and the Browns every Sunday night. :lol: :lol:

Watching Brady Quinn trying to complete a pass gives me major hernia's. What a complete waste of a #1 draft pick, possibly the worst QB I've ever seen yet. Hey, maybe he could try wide out, made a nice catch for a first down on that trick play. Cincinnati isn't looking that much better, as a matter of fact, if Cleveland had a microscopic ounce of talent on offense, they could have pulled this off. Good defensive showing by Cleveland even though they let Larry Johnson go for 100. Only gave up 1 touchdown. So much for a breakout game after that HALL OF FAME showing against the pussycats. :?

The Vikings are completely cracking the whip against the Bears. Vikes are seriously unreal. Make it look too easy. Favre's gun is possibly as strong as it's ever been.

Cinci is definitely going down these lat few weeks. But, I think today their plan was to protect the football, get LJ worked into the offense (planning down the road for Benson's injury problems), and let their defense take care of business against our inept bunch.

Um, you do realize that the Colts were down 17 points in the 4th quarter against the Patriots just two weeks ago and won, right?
