Steelers 2007 Predictions...

I know it's a little early to make predictions, but what the heck, work is slow today.
Game 1: Steelers vs Browns -This game is in Cleveland, but I don't think it matters. Seriously, sometimes I think there are more Steelers fans than Browns fans in Cleveland. And you can't blame them. -Browns best move was taking Thomas with the no. 3 pick. Worst move taking Quinn. -Steelers win this one by a land slide. 28-3. Sorry Romeo, it may be time to move on.
Game 2: Steelers vs Buffalo -I like the Bills. I always felt sorry for them after losing so many SBs. However, they let McGahee go. Why? -They've had serious issues with the QB position for quite some time. Steelers will have at least 5 sacks this game. -First home game means domination. 21-6 Steelers win.
Game 3: Steelers vs 49ers -Again another home game. 49ers have no idea what cold weather is like. -49ers QB Smith gets torn a new one. (Although I wouldn't mind seeing ex-PSU QB Robinson have a decent day) -Much improved Niners team can't handle the tightly disciplined and aggressive play of the Steelers. 28-6 Steelers win.
Game 4: Steelers vs Cardinals -We're all looking forward to this one. Too bad it's in Arizona although their stadium is quite nice. -Give the Cardinals a couple of years and they might be decent, but not this year. -Big Ben has nearly flawless day throwing for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. Steelers win 35-17.
Game 5: Steelers vs Seahawks -This game is in Pittsburgh and the Seahawks still aren't over their lose in SBXL. Plus, they haven't got much better. They've lost a lot of talent. -Seahawks try their hardest to validate themselves, but come up short - again. Steelers win 27-24.
Bye -It's crucial that the Steelers win these first 5 games, because the schedule gets much harder from here on out.
Game 6: Steelers vs Broncos -This one depends on Cutler. If he turns out to be awesome, we might be in trouble. However, if he plays more like Jake then we're set. -Note to Big Ben: Stay away from Champ Bailey. -Nail-biter game. Again this is Cutler's one to win or lose. Coming off a bye though, I think we get the nod. 17-14. Defensive battle with Pittsburgh narrowly escaping and gasping for air.
Game 7: Steelers vs Bengals -The Bengals are going to want this one really bad, especially in their hometown. -QB battle to see who can throw for the most yards. -Palmer may throw for more, but the Bengals D is too weak to hold off the Steelers. Look for Carey Davis and Fast Willie to run all over them. 21-18 Steelers.
Game 8: Steelers vs Ravens -Monday night football in Pittsburgh. This game is about redemption. -McNair gets popped and has to leave the game early. Steelers defense tortures backup Boller, as usual. -Low scoring game. Tomlin shows what he's really made of with the Steelers pulling this one off 13-10.
Game 9: Steelers vs Browns -We all know how this one ends.
Game 10: Steelers vs Jets -The Jets had a decent season last year, but I think it was a fluke. -Aging team with a beat up QB. -Battle of two young NFL coaches ends up with Tomlin on top. The Jets are always so good at giving games away. 24-17 Steelers win.
Game 11: Steelers vs Dolphins -Love ya Joey, but you'll have little impact in this one. -Note to Dolphins: Ed Ginn sucks; you shouldn't have never taken him 9th. And I'm not saying that because I'm a PSU fan, oh wait, yes I am. -Steelers win 17-7.
Game 12: Steelers vs Bengals -Sunday night game. Again the Bengals spend the whole week talking about the Steelers. When are they going to get that they aren't as good as us and never will be? -However, they are better at getting arrested. -Bengals defense puts up a good fight, but gets tired in the 2nd half and the Steelers run away with it. Steelers win 35-21.
Game 13: Steelers vs Patriots -Played in Foxboro. This game could be the hardest of the season. -Brady plays very well, so does Big Ben. -Redemption is ours! Steelers win in OT 24-21. Yeah, Jeff Reed! Even if you do have giant man nipples.
Game 14: Steelers vs Jags -The Jags still don't know who they want as QB. Garrard replaces Leftwich after halftime. -This game is in Pittsburgh and the Steelers are pretty hard to beat at home. -Steelers win in close battle 14-10.
Game 15: Steelers vs Rams -Thursday night game. Yeah! -Rams are aging and can't keep up with our pace. Plus, we always win night games. Steelers win 28-24. Bulger puts up a good fight but throws too many interceptions.
Game 16: Steelers vs Ravens -This will be the best game of the season. Both teams will be battling it out for the division title and a playoff spot. -The Steelers always play their best ball at the end of the season and this year's the same. -Steelers strip away their post-season hopes just like we did last year to the Bengals. Sorry Ravens - you lose.
We'll have to wait on post-season predictions. And I know some of you may be saying, "You picked them to win every game. That's impossible". My response: You're mistaken, my friend. Remember I'm a Steelers fan which means I suffer from delusions of grandeur and I would never, ever predict my team to lose.
!!!!GO STEELERS!!!!
