In the pick 'em, Rowdy and Bones won eight and Scoop won seven overall. Scoop went 2-1 with best bets, Bones 2-2, and Rowdy 4-1. The overall numbers are now Scoop 68-48 (.586), Bones 66-50 (.569), and Rowdy 60-56 (.517). In best bets we have Rowdy 24-20 (.545), Bones 19-16 (.543), and Scoop 11-10 (.524). 45% of the 2004 season has been played as we head into week 9.
Watching the Monday night game, I realized how good the Steelers are right now. Unlike the Miami players, the Stiller offensive line can block and the receivers catch the ball. They can play with anyone right now. My only concern is the lack of depth. Teams that go to and win the Super Bowl often go the whole season without major injuries. The Steelers are now starting a lot of the depth I'd rather see in reserve at the midpoint of the season. On the other hand, playing time for guys like Chris Hoke and Max Starks will help the team return stronger and deeper next year.
So, no time like the present. No sense holding anything back. I expect they'll give the Eagles hell this weekend.
