** PITTSBURGH vs MIAMI ** winner will be _____________
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
come in kids - don't think for a second the STEELERS aren't going to win. The DOLPHINS should be fine, but CULPEPPER ain't going to win on the road like he is a whole new QB. Sure the fins are going to get yardage, but do the FIN fans think there just going to stop a QB to pass short to TE and 2-3 quick pitches to a WR? How about stopping the running game. The DOLPHINS fans don't tell you that the secondary is extremely weak, and the LB core is extremely vulnerable. Ya they got a DL that could attack a QB, but what will it matter when the QB (BEN or CHARLIE) dumps his passes quick, and gets atleasst 1.5 sec protection behind a very good OL at least twice a qtr. There going to stretch the FINS so bad in the 2nd qtr that the STEELERS are going to find that they won't even need a QB and run the ball the rest of the way and don't be surprised if PARKER or any RB gets 120 plus and 3 TD. STEELERS 24 DOLPHINS 17 but don't be surprised by the final score. It will be 24-3 or 24-7 with 5 min to go. Maybe 24-10. At what point the STEELERS could be up by 3 scores. Trust me PITTSURGH is pumped and the city will be all over this game like no other. TAKE STEELERS! |

If Dolphins win it will 13-6. So pick the under, cause your going to get burnt.
Steelers will win unless they get unfair calls and turnovers, that forces them to start shuffling. If Coher gets out his 2nd playcalling then the Dolphins will gain control in the 2nd half. Probably the Dolphins win 13-6 but they would have been down at the half. Does Cowher prepare well? He either is ready for the season, or he is playing this last season like his last. If he does then STEELERS lose 13-6, if not they win that simple. |

sure Charlie Batch won 2 games that he started last year but they were against Green Bay and Cleveland. Against G.B. the guy threw for a total 65 yards of 9 completions and against Cleveland a total 150 yards of 13 completions.
He's facing a sub .500 team in Miami now at pk'em. I think Miami with Ben out, Miami has high hopes they can win this game. I'm taking Miami that reeled of 6 straight wins last season. |

It seems like a tough game guys...
I was hoping to find clear cut favorite amongst the SBR NFL studs... Its gonna be my first year betting seriously on the NFL and I want to get off to a good start... With Roethlisberger out and Hines Ward banged up Im kind of leaning towards Miami... Im gonna wait for some more imput before I make up my mind... Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys...

It's scary to think people would actually bet the DOLPHINS. It's a trend these people make from preseason. There not used to NFL regular seasn in months, and don't understand how it works.
Even talking about HINES WARD being out, come on. They do this on purpose. WARD did what the last 2 preseasons? what happened when he was seriously so called injured 2 off seasons ago, and then came back for the 1st game. The Steelers aren't a joke, there the champions, and it's just like last season when everyone thought the RAIDERS were going to surprise opening night with a win over the champ PATRIOTS. PATRIOTS won! This game isn't even close because this game will have 2 strong defences with the STEELERS having a huge edge. The running game isn't even close. The Dolphins DO NOT have a OL. Special teams isn't even close. STEELERS have huge advantage. The DOLPHINS don't even have a good team. CULPEPPER loves TE and will use McMichael probably 10 times on opening night. With the 7th to 10th times being INTs. DOLPHINS will be extremely lucky if they even score a TD before the 4th. |

After agonizing over the spread change, etc - I really think you'd be nuts to betthis game.
I favor Miami only due to Batch starting for Pitts, he's really really bad... While Pep is a real nice QB, he is prone to big turnover games. I don't see any bet where you're getting your money in good on this one. |
