Something looks fishy here. I know the qb situation in Pittsburgh. We saw what they did shutting down Turner and C.Johnson. They just handed Tenn a beatdown and shut the Falcons down on offense so why wouldn't they whoop the Bucs ass handily? This line looks too good to be true.

Charlie Batch will start thats why!

Like the under at 33.5, as TB has not allowed a 2nd half point this year.................

Charlie Batch starting and the ultimate in a sandwich game with the Steelers beating an arch rival last week on the road in Tennessee, and next week they get another hated rival at home in Baltimore and in between a trip to TampaBay(can't be overly exciting, lol!!!) I would not be surprised at all if the Steelers defense isn't quite the same this week knowing they are facing the Bucs and that just might be enough for the Bucs to sneak out a win against a Steelers team that I don't think is going to put alot of points on the board to begin with. I doubt I will touch this game but would not be surprised at all if the Bucs win this game not because they are the better team but just the situation the Steelers are in this week.

You remember that Tomlin coached at TB right?

they will be fired up!! at least the D

That said,

Charlie and this offensive line are not a good match.

Antwaan Randle El at QB is a REAL POSSIBILITY

Does Rothlesburger get to travel with the team? There's some awesome nudie bars in Tampa.

I think the line says take Tampa Bay, but maybe I am the only one still not completely sold on Tampa Bay. However, I may look at other games before even contemplating this one.

...this one has "stay away!" written all over it. Certainly not a game I would pick on but if I had a gun to my head I'd go with TB for most of CptKirk's reasons above. Hell, in the NFL there are ALWAYS ups & downs and roller coaster rides every week & this falls right into the "team coming off a tough, physical game, going on the road vs a mediocre team with a HUGE division rival up next week" trap written all over it. I see an ugly 13-10 TB victory.
