I think houston covers.
At home, weapons seem to be running on full and the offense is clicking.
The only worry is if schaub starts throwing INT's early.

Texans fan here, if you are going to bet the Texans, go with them first half. They always seem to blow it in the 2nd half but I do think they will get to Big Ben and force him into bad passes.

I am a HUGE steelers fan and will tell you there is no way in hell the steelers even come close. Steeler O-line is battered, Big Ben is acting like an idiot in the pocket and just stands there and is good for at least two turnovers a game by either fumbling or INT.
Tomlin is not the Einstein most thought (including myself) Mendenhall is running like a powder puff league bitch.
The defense is good, but can only hold out so long under the pressure from the offense inabilities. Tomlin is a fraud as a HC and now that Cowher's legacy is wearing off it's showing. Tomlin should have long established a two step drop and release for Ben to compensate for the lines unability to maintain a block, but instead he still has Ben sitting in the pocket getting killed, been going on for the last couple years now.
I am not even sure how this team made the SB last year.
I am on the record right here and now calling Tomlin a fraud and until the Rooney's see it then it will be a long ride.
My prediction is Texans by 2 TD's 28-14

I hate the steelers for this very reason....when they suck you cant bet against them for some stupid reason and when they are good I'm not over hating them from the last time they effed my Sunday by some acrobatic defensive play (I do love the greatest hair in football) I think Houston has the ability to cover this spread but just like the Steelers this year have had many moments that give me pause. Pittsburgh has enough defensive swagger to manage Johnson forcing other options or bad throws, I like the look of Tate but this might be traditionally run tough defensive that has him struggle its hard to tell when we havent seen very much of him....those things being considered I hate Pittsburgh and want them to lose
