Keys to Steeler`s victory Vs. Titans and My Picks of the week.

 
On Offense:The coaches must let Dixon play a little more his style and not so tight and safe...I think they have to roll him out and let him do his thing...Try play action and take off if need be...Dixon must still play smart and especially in the red zone...but its time to turn him loose a little bit. The offensive line must control the line of scrimmage and give Dixon time in the pocket and open some holes for the running game...Mendenhall must start off where he left off last week and continue to be a big play RB ...The Steelers must not turn over the ball and should try for a big play early to take the crowd out of the game...If they get an early lead that will make it much rougher on the titans.

On Defense: The Steelers must stop Chris Johnson and that's easier said then done ...but they have done it before ...holding him under 100 yards both times they have played him... Everyone must stay in their gaps and not over run the play and  be sure not to get caught up in the play when he uses his cut back moves...they all have to play very discipline . The Steelers must shut down the run and force Vince Young to try and win the game...If this happens Young will surely blow up under the pressure and make more then a few mistakes ....that's  when the defense can turn up the heat and cause some turnovers ...the steelers will need to win the battle of turnovers on the road to win.

Now for my picks of the week ...Last Sunday I went 3-1 against the spread not bad for opening weekend ... Remember my picks are for amusement only so don't blame me if you bet the house and lose.


If I was a betting man I would take:

Cincinnati + 2.5 over the Ravens ...Cincy comes back strong at home and exposes Ravens weak secondary and proves that if the Jets had half an offense Baltimore would be 0-2.$$$$

The Colts - 5 over the Giants ...Peyton schools Eli once again $$$

The Steelers +5 over Titans ... you know i can`t pass up the Steelers getting points Steeler D shows up big time$$ dog of the week

Houston-2.5 over the Redskins  ...Houston shows everyone they are the real deal.$

Well there you have week #2 picks and remember  Amusement Only .
