I'm looking at the Return of Rottenburger as the deciding factor here. Big Ben is 18-1 as an NFL starter. And if you're looking for a flaw to exploit in the Indy defense, it starts with the run. Bill Cowher has gone public with his goal to smash the ball and slow down the game - the Steelers should be up to the task against a Colts' defense that gives up 4.5 yards per carry, sixth worst in the NFL. Steelers run the football and play "D". And it worked to perfection against the 5-1 Bengals in Week 7, the Steelers rushed for 221 yards and easily won the time-of-possession battle. Roethlisberger threw for less than 100 yards in that one. The Steelers only allowed a QB to throw for 300 yards once, that was Tom Brady early in the season. Since then, they've been fantastic in shutting down the passing game. They're tied for the league lead in fewest passing TDs allowed (7), 5th in the NFL in sacks (30) and ninth in interceptions (12). They also have a Pro Bowl safety in Troy Polamalu, who is going to be in the face of Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne so much tonight he will smell their bad breaths!!!

I have Indy in 2 Teasers and UNDER 53 in the other. In the article it say that Cowher is going to RUN the ball like he did in beating Cincinnati and keeping Manning and Company off the field. So I am hoping Indy can win it by 3 points @ Home so it looks like a low scoring game. When Roethlisberger was healthy against Cincinnati he only threw for 93 yards, (I looked it up in week 7) He averaged about 10 yards a completion. So I am looking for a low scoring game and a 3 to 10 point Indy victory.

Cowher knows he can't get into a shootout with Indy no more than he could have gotten into a shootout with Cincinnati when they played. Well we all saw what happened when Cincy & Indy got into a shootout. Cincy lost 37-45 to Indy. I'll give you one more thing to think about, Why is the TOTAL ONLY 47 when Indy is capible of putting that much up by themselves???? Could it be Cowher coming out publicly and saying he is going to RUN the ball against Indy whose defense gives up 4.5 yards per carry on defense???? In Indy's last (5) five games they scored in the 40's 3 times and in the 30's twice. Beware of the OVER play!!!

I am thinking of making a play on the UNDER

BOL!!!!
