NFL Predictions - Playoff Thread

The Steelers have lost eight of their past 10 meetings with Tennessee and were physically manhandled -- Bill Cowher's words -- by the Titans during the regular season.

And they are playing just six days after their emotional playoff victory against the Browns with a secondary that has injuries and other problems. No team had a better finish to the regular season than the Titans, who won 10 of their final 11 games after a 1-4 start. But the Steelers have never lost a playoff game to a division team (OK, the Titans qualify are a former division mate). After coming back from 11- and 17-point deficits in their past two games, they are not about to panic against the Titans. OK, the Steelers have yet to win a road playoff game under Cowher (0-2). But they seem to respond when nobody gives them a chance.

I don't think the crowd was digging it. Not to pile on the choir or the lovely and usually reliable Natalie Cole, but whatever they were doing just wasn't clicking. In my own opinion of course.

On on that note, I must leave this thread. Somebody else will have to take over scorekeeping duties.

I shall return tomorrow for more bone-crunching action. GO RAIDERS!

Good pics. Weather his knee was down or not, and I don't think that it was, it was caused by the turf giving way not by a defensive player.
