Steelers/jags Monday Night Football Showdown
By http://www.mysportsbookonline.info/
The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting two points at home against the world champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh got past the Dolphins in the NFL’s opening game without Ben Roethlisberger and it is still up in the air as to whether Big Ben will make his season debut this week. Jacksonville took care of the Dallas Cowboys with good performances by quarterback Byron Leftwich, who threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and tailback Fred Taylor who tallied 115 yards of total offense. Despite a decent showing in the opener, the Jags feel that they have plenty of room for improvement this week.
Perhaps a bigger and more crucial question mark than Roethlisberger, who is listed as probable, is Pro Bowl strong safety Troy Polamalu who is listed as questionable Monday. Polamalu is great in run support and without him, Fred Taylor could be looking at another good game this week. On the other hand, Jacksonville will have to contend with Pittsburgh’s big offensive line and its running attack led by Willie Parker who rushed for 115 yards on 29 carries. Expect Parker to be a work horse once again whether Roethlisberger plays on not.
