NFL for 10/23

[Penguinfan]

Pittsburgh +1

This is not a homer play for me, I am as critical of the Steelers and dumb ass Cowher as anyone, but one thing for sure when The Chin is coaching is you know what you will get, the game plan will be to run the ball reguardless of weather it works or not (see AFC Championship game last year).

If Cincy has a glaring weak spot it is stopping the run and the weathe is cold and rainy in Cincy this morning putting an emphasis on ball control and the running game, both factors go to Pittsburgh there. Palmer will have a hard time throwing the ball in these conditions and look for the Bengal defense to commit to stopping the run which will open up things underneath for Pittsburgh to actually use a Tight End.


Tenn/Ariz OVER 45

Two bottom dwelling defenses collide???? 25th and 26th ranked defenses that really can't stop much of anything at all.
Tennessee has managed, somehow, to give up 212 yards passing and 116 yards rushing on average and Arizona's stats aren't much better. What really sticks out is the teams give up an average of over 4 yards a play. I wouldn't look for the punters to be filing any grievences for being over worked today. In fact they may qualify for unemployment after this on. I think we cash this one early.
