Skippy Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Just a quick heads up just in case you were looking to start anyone from the Pitt/Cleveland passing game. They are calling for windy conditions with winds reaching 36mph. That does not work well for the passing game inside of Heinz Field. I am starting my Willie Parker and thinking that there is going to be a heavy dose of the running game tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 That's it. Then I'm definatley benching Nate Washington (was on the fence all day about that). Raising expectations for Steelers' DEF, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Thanks Terry! I like Cleveland +7.5 and the under anyway because I thought it would be a low scoring game. But with VERY windy conditions, I REALLY like the points and the under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddfish2 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I thought the rule of thumb was take the under in rain and the over in snow. Is there a rule of thumb for wind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Is it the weather or the quarterbacks!? Just a heads up that if you were considering starting anyone involved with either of these teams' passing game, you are in some real trouble.

Randall Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Wish it was as warm here as in Pittsburg. 9 degrees now without the chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menudo Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Is it the weather or the quarterbacks!? Just a heads up that if you were considering starting anyone involved with either of these teams' passing game, you are in some real trouble. He is not playing tonight, but, Hines Ward has served me wll all season. Also, believe it or not, due to them being behind at times, Roethlisberger has had some good fantasy weeks. Unless your league has big penalties for interceptions............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raising expectations for Steelers' DEF, too. Bummer. That 49 yard TD will have pissed you off, then. ETA: I went for Holmes as my starter. Washington is on my bench too.

In non-PPR leagues, guys like Nate Washington and D. Henderson are solid because of the big plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I just had a feeling it would be Holmes that would get the big play. Wrong again - though there's plenty of time yet and he has one more catch than last week already.

Thews40 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 In a playoff game tonight starting Pitt's D. They've screwed me this year, but can make up for it tonight. So far so good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Genius move, so far. I feel like sh it for my advice. It really was blowing like crazy when I posted this and I really did see the weather forecast call for major wind but to be very honest, it is pretty darn calm out there. It looks worse on tv than what it really is. Damm weather man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 So far... But would it kill PIT to get a couple sacks? I thought the Pitt D was a major lock today as well. This kid seems to be getting rid of the ball pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 At halftime, 5 different Cleveland rushers had 7 total attempts for 13 total yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers are doing a good job with time of possession, as well. Just not much in the way forcing mistakes. But at least they're keeping the Browns off the score board... for now.

So far so good Then John Gruden screwed you last week as he did me. He brings his freekin kicker in with 4 seconds left just to avoid the shutout.
