I seem to remember how this went the last time you picked against the Steelers.

seriously?
A twenty-one point seattle win?
Against a team that has easily beaten the Bengals, Broncos, and Colts in consecutive weeks.
How are they going to score 21 points against a defense that gives up 100 yards rushing about once every 20 games, and a pass defense that has shut down Rod Smith, Ashley Lelie, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Chad Johnson, and Houshmanzadeh in consecutive weeks?
And how do they hold a quarterback who has a rating of over 100 in the playoffs, along with one of the top rushing games in the league to 14 points?

The way I see it Jesse, and I'm not using any type of statistical foresight, or law of averages, but what I do know is that when teams make it to the big "game", you can throw out everything you know about these teams.
Look at any Superboal game of the past, and most of it is adrenaline driven, IE when the players get happy on the field, that doesn't always equate to a win. :)
It may not be the "gospel" but it's true.
Besides, I lived in Seattle for a few years, and I am biased for any team that comes from there.
