I think this game will be closer than most people are expecting.

I always root against both these teams, so this one would normally be a tossup. With Floyd being on the Pats, I am going with the Steelers this time. Regardless, I want the NFC to win the SB. My hope is the Falcons.

I keep forgetting he plays for them. Honestly I don't care whether he wins a championship or not.
+1. I've moved on. He is just another Cardinals castoff to me. I will be rooting for the pats and against the steelers.

Wasn't his fault he got released.

It sure was. Actions have consequences. He chose to get drunk and try to drive (again). He ended up passed out behind the wheel at an intersection. Thankfully, he was found by officers and arrested before causing any injuries or deaths that night. Then, according to the Cardinals, he was not remorseful for his actions. That is why he was released. That is 100% on him.

So, upon getting released when the Patriots called was he supposed to smile and say, "no thank you"? I'm not defending what he did but the Cards could have suspended him then let him walk and at least get a draft pick out of it but instead, they release him outright, and now the Patriots will benefit.

Well, they got Michael Floyd. A player with a drinking problem who is having a subpar year.

Pittsburg +6 seems like easy $$

I don't gamble but if I were to start it would be this game. I feel like people are really underestimating the strength of Pittsburgh's offense.

So in your guys opinions, if Martellus Bennett can't play today, how much do you think that will affect the Pats offense? It sounds like he's going to play but just curious how much of an impact you think he'll have.

underestimating that vaunted steelers offense that didn't even score a touchdown last week?? That the one?

He drops the game winning 2 pt conversion, and the Pats lose by 1.

Edit: Of course I thought you meant Floyd and Pats...lol
lol... I meant the stillers and pats...

maybe we can see them go into quadruple double OT and end the game with every player exhausted beyond measure

KC had one of the best red zone defenses this season. 4th or 5th I believe, thought I think Pats were only a few spots lower on the list.

I think the Pats are the better team.

I don't know if Floyd will have impact but if BB wants to utilize him after 2 games we will see probably more of him, maybe even the good Floyd ...
