Week 6: Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)

[The GIGGAS]

I just made a bet with a coworker on which will be higher: the number of Jacksonville punts, or the number of points the Steelers defense will score. I went with the punts.

Jaguars: 7
Steelers: 24

With 9 punts and one defensive TD for the Steelers.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume a Steelers domination. The last time people predicted that was against the Colts, and that ended up being way too close. The Steelers tend to have let downs in games like this, a game they should obviously win, coming off a big win. That being said, with the way the season has gone and the way the guys on this team are I don't think that's going to happen. Steelers win, but its closer than Giggas thinks.

Steelers - 27
Jaguars - 17

I understand where you're coming from, but I have been subjected to this Jaguars team all year. We can't score on a bad defense. We're ****ed, is what I'm telling you.

Jaguars have had some problems with the offense but Gabbert played pretty good in the wind. It's a great sign that your QB can still throw 45 yards down-field in the swirling wind. Dalton couldn't do the same.

The team needs to play to it's strengths and hope they don't have another run of misfortune late in the game as seen in the Panthers and Bengals loss. Both games they really could have won, the Panthers game especially.

The outcome depends on which Steeler team shows up. If they play the way they did last week then this game won't be close. However, if they play the way they did against Houston and Indy then all bets are off. I haven't heard anything about which of our 300 injured players will be able to return to action this week though.

Both teams are pretty beat up, but most of the jags/steelers games are pretty close. Jags win this and then beat baltimore next week. All hail Blaine Gabbert!

Out: T Marcus Gilbert, NT Casey Hampton, OLB James Harrison, G Chris Kemoeatu, RB Mewelde Moore, DE Aaron Smith, OLB Jason Worilds

Probable: CB Cortez Allen, FS Ryan Clark

So the defense will look the same as last week. The offensive line will be the same as it was when Gilbert went down and Jonathan Scott took his place. Might see a little more of Mendenhall in this game, I'm hoping for a lot of Redman and Dwyer again though, I like Mendy, but not with this patchwork offensive line, his game isn't made for them.

Jags are aweful, easy win for the steelers who seam to be back on track(we will see). Like to see Maurice Jones Drew break out with a big game.
