Old dude, is this week Thanksgiving? So why are the Steelers playing up here against the Vikings on a Thursday instead of a more traditional time slot?
I'll allow the O'Jays to explain:
Dollar bills, y'all.I know it is money, but this matchup is interesting.
A couple of teams that are in the hunt, but will those dogs hunt?
I will evaluate that, Geritol Fan! I am feeling the HYYYYYYYPPPEEEE!, and it is time to watch me work.
Pittsburgh Steelers (+3) vs. Minnesota Vikings This is going to be a game that I will be watching carefully, since a Vikings loss means that there could be a chance for a celebration to the east on Sunday Night Football. Obviously, the Vikings need this one after laying a huge egg against the LOLions. That was inexcusable by the Vikings, and you know things are bad when Vikings approved KFAN hosts like PA, Meatsauce, and Dan Barreiro are mad about the way the Vikings are going to perform. The Steelers got a win they needed against the Ravens when the Ravens went for the win instead of playing for overtime. It's not clear if the Vikes will have a full arsenal of weapons. I think the key is going to be how well the Vikings defend the deep balls that Big Ben is going to throw on occasion. It's beyond obvious that Big Ben is on a serious decline, and he just doesn't throw as deep as he did in the past. Since both teams are desperate, I have to go with the desperate team at home. And this game will be fun to watch for me. Vikings 27, Steelers 24.
Could be entertaining for sure, as long as you're not interested in style points. No Thielen, no Cook? That's a problem for the locals. Is Mike Tomlin a better coach than Zim? Yeah, I think so. Will the fans be happy or hostile? Steelers 31, Vikings 26.
We will return with our regularly scheduled programming on Friday to talk about what might happen on Sunday Night Football among other things. Ben out.
