- LINE: PITTSBURGH by 5½
- If the trend of prime-time blowouts continue, it’s difficult to imagine the Titans annihilating a junior high school team, let alone an angry Pittsburgh bunch. While the Steelers seem to play to the level of their competition, they tend to perk up after a loss and that should negate any mental letdown here. The Titans are incapable of bounce-backs. Their only win since opening week was a 16-14 yawner over the equally inept Jaguars. They are auditioning young players as their never-ending rebuilding process continues with rookie QB Zach Mettenberger leading the way. Tennessee will be missing its best receiver as TE Delanie Walker will sit this one out. Incidentally, the Steelers are 24-6 on Monday nights.
- TAKING: STEELERS –5½

OVERALL ANALYSIS
The only thing consistent about the Steelers this season has been their inconsistency but there is one trend that has stood the test of time, Dick LeBeau against rookie quarterbacks.
Since the Hall of Fame defensive coordinator returned to Pittsburgh in 2004, the Steelers are an imposing 18-2 against first-year signal callers.
Sports Network predicted outcome: Steelers 24, Titans 14
