I don't see Big Ben throwing 4 int. or getting sacked 5 times against us. Our team is totally banged up and in desperate need of the bye, especially seeing as we had the extra pre-season game as well as all the two a days.

I can see this being a close game decided by three points or less either way. I think it all depends on how we execute our game plan and which way the ball bounces. I've thought for a while now that Campbell's first "true" pick (not one that's been deflected into the opposition's hands) would come against Polomalu. Hope this does not come true.

Steelers played horrible and really had an off night against NY.( NY should've had that other TD also) However, we've lost the turnover battle for 3 weeks straight and we've missed our fair share of opportunities as well, and I don't see this being a continuing trend. With that being said, we always play to the level of our competition and we just happen to be on the lucky side of the fence this year pulling off close victories we would've lost last season.

In a nutshell, I'm going with the Skins:21, Steelers:20

Excellent analysis. I would add that the Steelers will be hungry coming off of a loss.

I hope that the fatigued Redskins can rise to the occasion just one more week.
