1st HALF UNDER 20 - 1 STAR
Tonight marks the 50th Anniversary of the Immaculate Reception and Franco was going to attend. He unfortunately passed this week. The Steelers were always planning on dedicating this game to Franco and that team But now it's become even more emotionally charged. The Steelers are playing hard for Mike Tomlin to keep his streak alive of never having a losing season. The Raiders are an indoor team and must now travel to a cold and windy three rivers stadium super charged with emotion.
STEELERS -2 5 STARS

RIP Mike Leach . There are too many Great people dying too early and along with Franco Harris Mike Leach was another. Interesting timing as the Eagles travel to play the Cowboys and Jalen Hurts will be out with a strained shoulder. Garder Minshew gets the start . He's started in 40 NFL games in his career and is one of the best backup QBs in the league. Vegas adjusted the line from Dallas -1.5 to Dallas -6 on the news and sharp bettors immediately grabbed the +6 with the eagles. The line is now settled in at Dallas -5 or -4.5. The Hedgie does not think there will be that much of a dropoff . The Eagles have better interior lines and lately Dallas has not been playing it's best football. Dak Prescott has thrown 11 INTS in his last 9 games and just last week the Dallas D was scortched for 503 yards by the Jags. LB Vaneresch will be OUT and star LB Parsons had a flu bug earlier in the week .
Minchew dedicated this game to his old Coach Mike Leach and in his eulogy said
"You never really felt like an underdog with him . He had confidence....it was part confidence and part not really giving a fuck in what people thought, you know? It was one of the two. But it was awesome. It was contagious"
Hedgie expects a focused and max effort from the eags
