    I've hated the Steelers since childhood. But their recent track record in big games makes them the easy pick.

    Steelers 31
    Turnover-plagued Packers, 21

    Way too early to pick a winner here. Have to see how (whether) Pouncey heals, at a minimum. And to put it mildly, consistency has not been these teams' trademark. Each came uncomfortably close to blowing games they had totally dominated yesterday.

    The Packers were clearly playing not to lose in the second half on Sunday and that was more than a little disturbing since they were only up by 14.

    And after the #54 interception, absolutely, without missing a beat.

    Pretty sure this had a local origination, since Cowboys seat license holders are/were given first crack. As my license is only for the upper reaches of that stadium, I'm pretty sure I'm not on the distribution list.

    Pouncey has a high ankle sprain and expects to play.

    The Steelers will win the fucking game and just about the time my misery from all the fanboys around here ends, the fucking Penguins will win the Stanley Cup and I'll have another long offseason dealing with yinzer losers in the "City of Champions!!" :mad:

    I can't ever get a break.

    The Packers have no chance, unless I move in the next two weeks.

    Lucky for him it's two weeks. Shitty for fans, and for the game, but good for him.

    They quoted him in the P-G (the severity of the sprain is not yet known) and Puuncey acted like he would play this Sunday if he was needed.
    Two weeks should be enough rest to be ready to go.

    But on a brighter note, the Pirates report to spring training soon. :D

    Come on Mizzou! Don't you know that doesn't count? Without a salary cap, everyone knows major league baseball is a sham competition!
