OK someone had to do it....

 

Steelers by 6...

Steelers by 10+...

Bengals somehow by 3.

I say Steelers by at least 10. I think the big implosion occurs this week with 81, 85 and 9.

Very possible

I believe apathy has set in. 5 responses and 9 votes on Bengals/Steelers MNF. Says it all.

No doubt. I won't even be watching, except for a few look-ins. Really just flat-out don't care one way or the other anymore.

All the Steeler fans and Bengal fans on the board and we have 7 replies before this post. I agree Mal.

Just bought my son a stitched Lamar Woodley jersey to sport tonight at the game. Can't wait. Hope everyone gets there safely and enjoys a great atmosphere. FWIW, there were 4 people in the store at lunch where I bought the jersey in Huntington, WV all with Steeler garb on and they will all be in attendance tonight. Should be fun. I don't care about the margin as long as the Steelers have more points.

I didn't post in this thread, thought I might get fined for leading with the crown of my helmet.:lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Come on HT, you laughed at that!

^ I laughed a little. I'm about to get ready to go down to the Jungle, hopefully it will be a good game and Spindoc and his crew isn't sitting in front of me.

Have fun. My roommate is down there now tailgating with a big Bengals bus. He said they have a 30 foot TV in Longworth so people can watch the game without going in...

Ah, I'm glad it's warmer than yesterday. Still will be chilly after sunset. Hothands will be at the ready in case the wind starts to blow and all the Bengal fans leave early and no body heat is around.

26. Cincinnati

I have been hanging tough in the Las Vegas Hilton SuperContest: 23-16-1 overall and a respectable six games behind the leaders. The key to my season? The Bengals. I'm 4-0 picking against them because, apparently, I'm the only person outside of Cincinnati who realizes that Carson Palmer hasn't been good in four years. My favorite thing about Palmer: His conventional statistics keep throwing everyone off his rancid scent -- 1,855 yards (seventh overall), 12 TDs, seven picks, 83 QB rating. Not terrible, right?

 

So you have to dig a little ... and that's when you find out that he's last in third-down passing (49 percent completion rate, 431 yards, 62 rating), or that defenders have dropped 215 possible Palmer interceptions (approximate), or that his receivers unofficially lead the league in walking off the field shaking their heads at one another (which, by the way, really should be a stat). If the Bengals were smart, they'd start pounding the ball with Cedric Benson and reducing Palmer's effect on the game, but they aren't, and that's why I will keep picking against them. Just know this could be leading to one of the strangest football moments ever: fans chanting "WE WANT PALMER!" (for his brother) with Palmer in the game. That reminds me ...
