When I look at where each team is, it just seems that the Steelers have a lot more to win this week than the Vikings do..
The Steelers defense has yet to be dominant for 4 quarters, they're facing the best RB in the league and a HOF QB. They play the Vikings at home, have a bye next week and would be 5-2 with a win. The Vikings just came off an emotional game they should've lost and can drop this game and still be 6-1 with a non-division, non-conference loss. Next week Brett returns to Lambeau to face the Packers there for the first time. That's what he'll be thinking about until Harrison puts him on his ass and he has flashbacks of Greg Lloyd. Favre only has 2 INTs at this point and is due. I look for Timmons and Polamalu to get 1 each this week..
Winfield is likely out and the Vikings have already shown that they can be passed on. Ben's on fire, Ward's having a career year and Mike Tomlin knows the Vikings personnel and always gets the team up for big games.
Steelers should take this..
