Thursday's night game

Well I had a terrible week picking games last week after finally having a good week. The Pittsburgh Steelers last week should have covered the spread but the refs once again this season screwed up and now they've got Vegas in a tizzy.

So of course to appease Vegas (or at least the gamblers, the bookies were probably pleased by last week's result) The refs will throw the Steelers a bone this week and allow them to cover the spread.

Cincinatti Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers (-11)
Pathetic display by the Bengals/Eagles last week, but the Bengals at least have the excuse to suck, I don't know what McNabb's problem was, everyone for the 3rd straight season is jumping on the Will Donovan McNabb be back this next season? And with the Eagles struggling again and looking like the playoffs may be out of reach I'd say this time is a real possibility, same goes for Andy Reid's job security, it's hanging by a thread. But back to this game, the Steelers SHOULD cover but that doesn't mean they will, but every crappy team they've played this year they've handled quite easily so I'll take them.

Over/under is 34.5
Last time these 2 teams met it was 38-10, if the Steelers are to win by more then 11, I suspect the final score will reflect the results of there 1st meeting, rarely can I bring myself to bet the under, so over.
