Steelers Haunt Pats at Heinz 25-17 to Push Record to 6-2

They have exercised the demons. For now at least. A day before the 7th anniversary of the 2004 Halloween white wash of the New England Patriots, the Steelers Sunday flexed some muscle on both sides of the ball, finally stopping Tom Brady and New England in a hard fought 25-17 win. The victory puts the [...]

What the Washington Post Thinks About Super Bowl XLV

Every now and again I get a chance to take part in a column called “The League,” which is based around the NFL. This week of course I was asked about my pick for Sunday between the Steelers and Packers in SB 45. Here’s just some of my comments about the game. It’s a game [...]

Site Editor Matt Loede’s NFL Picks for Week 17

Last Week: 10-6 Season: 143-94 Miami at New England – The question will be if the Pats will play anyone. New England can’t gain anything with a win or a loss, so likely Tom Brady and co. will play a bit, but that’s about it. The Fins would love to end the season with a [...]

Site Editor Matt Loede’s NFL Picks for Week 16

Last Week: 7-9 Season: 133-88 Thursday: Carolina at Pittsburgh – The Steelers are not a happy crew after falling to the Jets last Sunday, and they should be able to take it out on the two-win Panthers in a pre-Christmas game at Heinz Field. The Panthers pulled out a win over the Cardinals, but Carolina [...]

Last Week: 12-4 Season: 126-79 Thursday: San Francisco at San Diego – A game that both teams need badly, but the Niners have more injury woes with both Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes having to wear casts. The Chargers got their swagger back last week with a 31-0 win over the Chiefs. They are the [...]

Editor Matt Loede’s NFL picks for week 13

Last Week: 8-8 Season: 101-72 Cleveland at Miami – The Dolphins looked good last week in Oakland, and while the Browns won (barely) against the 1-9 Panthers, the Dolphins are the better team, and will get WR Brandon Marshall back this week, and he will have a big game against the Browns secondary and suspect [...]

Sports Gab Editor Matt Loede’s NFL Picks for week 12

Last Week: 11-4 Season: 93-64 Thursday: New England at Detroit – The Pats are playing as well as any AFC team right now, and they have the decided advantage in this Thanksgiving matchup. Look for Tom Brady and the Pats to pick apart the Lions, and the New England D to lower the boom on [...]

Site Editor Matt Loede’s NFL Picks for week 11

Last Week: 9-4 Season: 82-60 Oakland at Pittsburgh – The Raiders look like legit AFC West contenders after two wins and a bye, while many think the Steelers are headed for another collapse like last season. The injured Steelers will have to find a way to stop the Raiders attack, and there offense also needs [...]
