Comments:

Dr. Bones has no comments this week, just straight up prognostication.

Scooper: Pit needs to win this dallas game more than they need to win either the new england or the steagle games that follow the bye. Both are at home, but to split those two would be doing real well, and a loss to both is more likely than a win against both. So if they lose at dallas that would put them at 4-2 and staring down possible 4-4 with a three game losing streak. The dallas game will set up how the next three weeks shake out. If they win they can play NWE and phl loose, and I think a split is likely, knowing that 5-3 at the turn is assured; if they lose they'll be playing those two games with a pucker factor that will not benefit their play.

Rowdy: sf: Ugly hunch here. PHL: I'll have my cheesesteak with mushrooms, swiss cheese, mayo, ketchup, lettuce and tomatoes. JAX: Chiefs find stump, axe, in locker room before game. snd*: Brees and LT over Kordell Vick. BUF: Bills usually tough at home. CHI*: Brian Urlacher returns, leading reinforcements. CLE*: Browns have been better at home. NWE*: Back on the cover train. DET: Favre in domes. TEN: Completes my overreaction to MNF. OAK*: House of horrors, forecast: pain. pit*: Steelers have owned Vinny since his days as a hapless Brown. min: Moss on big stage. tab: Just one calorie.
