ESPN guys picking Seahawks (Chris Berman, Mike & Mike)...woohoo

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

Sorry, no links found on ESPN yet, but saw Mike and Mike from ESPN radio both pick the Seahawks and Chris Berman (aka Swami) pick Seahawks.

YES...Pittsburgh is not the favorite with the experts...we like it that way.:evilgrin:

Hope all the Steelers were watching/listening.

Here we go Steelers. Here we go.

1. too bad Joey Porter is wasting all his energy trash talking

what a mouth on that guy, I still can't figure out what Jerramy Stevens did (besides spell his name funny) to disrespect Bettis, all he said was that the SeaHawks would win, right?

If Porter needs this to get the Steelers psyched up, then the team is in trouble.

I will continue the same prediction as earlier, SeaHawks 32-14. Yes, it will be a blowout as the 'Hawks jump to an early lead and the Steelers have to play from behind, not their strong suit.

2. Joey Porter's been talking like that for seven games.

Didn't seem to hurt them now did it?

[northzax]

3. seems increasingly desperate, I must say

in the past, he's actually had something to talk about. And now he's basically saying that it is the goal of the Steelers' defense to literally, take the seahawks out of the game. Hope he can back that up, since Seattle is simply looking at him amusadly.

[timber84]

6. Doubt that.

[northzax]

7. doubt what?

that Porter said the Steelers were going to hit so hard that the Seahawks would head tap themselves out of the game? That if they lined up Jerramy Stevens against him that Stevens wouldn't finish the game? or that he's getting desperate?

cause all three seem real to me.

8. Well the man was pretty accurate about the colts and bronco's

game. This game does not depend on Porter. It depends on how well the steeler's o line matches up against seattle d line.

[northzax]

9. actually, it depends a lot on the Steeler linebackers

the Seattle o-line is fabulous, if they can adjust to the 3-4, so the linebackers will have their hands full with Alexander running and getting short dumps. Can they deal with that and put enough pressure on Hasselback to let the D-backs cover the Seattle recievers for a couple of seconds? If Hasselback gets 5-6 seconds, he'll have an open receiver every time, Engram, Stevens and Jackson are too good. And if Seattle scores twice in the first quarter, the game is over.

[timber84]

11. that's what everyone said about the colts game and we know the outcome

of that.

[underpants]

4. Well then it is settled

no need to play the game now

[friesianrider]

5. Swami also said at the beginning on the season...

that "without a doubt" it would be the Eagles and the Patriots in the Super Bowl again this year. And look how accurate that was!

LET'S GO STEELERS!!!

10. You heard Greeny say why he was picking Seattle though...

He thinks the Steelers will win, but he will be in Pittsburgh in a few weeks, and he knows if he picks the Steelers and they lose he'll never make it out of the city alive :) So he has essentially picked both teams to win...

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

12. Yes, I did hear him say that.

I am just clinging to our "underdog" image here in Pittsburgh...it's worked well for us in the playoffs.;)

[frylock]

15. how does one cling to an underdog image going in favored by 4?

BTW.. congrats.

[joeybee12]

13. This is not a good sign for Seahawks fans...

...even though I'm picking Seattle, you gotta admit "the experts" are usually wrong.

[dr.zoidberg]

14. Hey, that's funny...

I seem to be seeing everyone picking the Steelers.

[Zech Marquis]

16. when Greenie picks your team

consider that as a kiss of death :evilgrin:

[JVS]

17. I remember that one of the mike and mike duo refused to pick PGH...

because he didn't want to jinx us and be unable to come to the city
