im takin the chargers to cover, up to 6, steelers have managed to make a lot of their wins closer than they need to be, possible upset though and may even been keen to take the chargers on the ML depending what the price is close to game time. gl

I wouldn't be surprised if the Chargers pull off a win here. As good as the Steelers Defense is, their offense is stagnant. It's all going to depend on that Steelers offense because we all know how good the Defense is.

That's obviously a fade the public play

What a farce the AFC championship game will be if the Chargers are there

Sproles will be a non-factor Sunday. No way Chargers come in to Pitt and sniff a W without LT. Don't get me wrong,I think Sproles is an exciting back but he's not made to be the every down guy.
Steelers roll here, and I can't stand 'em!!

LT banged up and probably won't play and from listening to the guy on the radio(can't remember his name now) from SanDiego yesterday Sproles is nowhere near 100%, add this to Gates not being 100% and you have to ask how are they going to beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh. The answer is dependant on Ben. Trusting a QB playing his first game after a concussion is not something I enjoy doing and hearing reports that even putting his helmet on has given him some headaches doesn't make me want and do cartwheels in playing the Steelers.

For me personally there is just way too many questions from both offenses for me to even bother playing this game. I will just sit and enjoy this with no worries on the outcome.

As much as I think the speed of Pitt's D will be a problem for SD, there is no one in this world who has seen Darren Sproles play this year that honestly believes he would be a non factor in any game he plays a significant role.

I agree that he's not a feature back, but he has consistently shown that anytime he touches the ball he's capable of putting it in the endzone.

Rivers is going to have to beat the Steelers, not Sproles. Sproles is an important part of the offense, now that L.T. is fiunished, but Rivers is going to have to successfully throw the ball. I don't know who wins this game, but I do know that the line is up to 6 1/2 now, and that is way too much.
