my take on tonights game
QB - Ben is out, Batch is in, Culpepper debuts for miami, "he who makes the fewer errors wins" .............. remember that, I think Culpepper tries to make something happen and throws a pick or 2 that hurts the team. He has a new OL - RB - WR - TE to work with, something goes wrong IMO and Pitt takes advantage. Cowher will have drilled BATCH with the ............. dont fuk up ........... game plan. They will follow it until Pitt gets down by 8 or more. If Pitt gets the lead by 7 then this is right in their hands.
RB - i think PITT has the advantage because Willie is a homerun RB, he can go for a 60 yard TD while Brown for miami is far less likely to do that. I think Brwon struggles and fumbles at least once
WR - depends on the QB and how much they are used. Chambers of miami has a history of vanishing from games, he had several huge games to end 2005 and i think odds are he does not make a game changing play tonight, Hines Ward vs Miami's NEW-ish db group is an advantage but BATCH may not be effective enough passing
TE - Miller vs Randy M ............... too guys capable of making a game changing play, culpepper loved the TE in Minny, Miller should be able to do as he pleases vs the miami safety group. Troy Polamalou crushed GATES last year. He may be geared up for Randy and his antics as well
OL - Miami is NEW-ish again at LT , C, and RG , on the road at a hostile stadium with a new QB ? I see mistakes all over the place. Penalties and missed assignments
defensive front 7 ............... miami has a stack of talent and depth , PITT wont run with ease , PITTS group lost their vital NG in free agency but they will be geared up and ready and its not like they are facing a dominant OL either
D-backs ................. this is where Big Ben would of killed miami, can BATCH pull it off ? The PITT DB's are superior
kickers ........... even
final analysis ........................ there will be 1 big play that decides this game. I see a tight game and under 35 points. Pitt wins by 2 or more. Miami is just too new IMO and traveling to PITT is a tall order.
Final Score .............. Pitt "covers" and wins by 2 or more, i will say 20 - 13
game goes under is my most confident play, there will need to be 2 easy TD scores for it to go over, i think both defenses show up and 1 dominates the game, i think 1 of these guys lets down their team
culpepper ............ try's too hard and fails
brown ............. fails to get to 100 yards and fumbles
Miami DB's ................ give up at least 1 huge pass play
BATCH ............... shows he should not be in the NFL
my plan
seperate UNDER 34.5 plays
a parlay of PITT to cover and under 34.5
I aint going HUGE here
good luck to all
