PrintPredictions! Get ya predictions he-ah!
It's Friday afternoon so of course that means it's time for our weekly contest where you pretend to know what the Saints are going to do on Sunday.
Before we get to all of your predictions this week let us acknowledge last weeks winner, Jeff.I.b. By a margin of just two Jeff won the popular vote, narrowly edging out coldpizza. Here are the three that got him the win...
1. Brees completes passes to at least 8 different targets. (8 different Saints mind you)
2. Colt McCoy throws at least 1 INT and under 220 yards.
3. Hartley goes perfect from FGs and XPs.
But that was last week. This week starts anew so let's see what you got.

1. Steelers will have 150+ yds rushing.

- Before I get hissed and booed, I’d just like to say: I usually pick 3 “positive” things for our Saints to accomplish on gameday, but it hasn’t worked out. This is reverse “pycho” whachacallit.
"Well, he's in there. He's trying to make things happen. I mean, he's a gunslinger, ya know." "What the hell are you talking about?" "Uhhh, ... I don't know."
Taking one for the team.
It’s admirable.

1. Mendenhall breaks off at least 1 rush for 35+ yards.

shrug Can’t win them all. Saints show up to make it a close and competitive game but fall to the better team. More offense this game than one would expect out of 2 of the top statistical D’s.
Statistically
The steelers are in the bottom quarter in everything except turnover ratio :P where I believe they are top 3, which is what our Def was doin last year
Saints 27 Steelers 24
1. Saints have come from behind victory on a TD drive with under 5 minutes in the 4th quarter.

Saints come into another prime time game like last year against the pats, and with people doubting us, we put on a Halloween show that melts the steel curtain. Yes, steelers fans we want a good game with no injuries for either team, but were coming for a battle. Geaux Saints.
Bring it.
Look forward to this very much. Albeit my prediction is a tad different from yours :)

I’ve been avoiding doing predictions this season for superstitious reasons; after our performance last week, I’ve changed my mind. And though I don’t agree that this is a “must-win” game for us like many are saying, I think the Saints won’t disappoint.
1. Brees throws 0 INTs
2. Saints D forces at least 2 turnovers
3. Steelers convert 30% or fewer 3rd downs.
BONUS: The TV commentators ignore the fact that Ben Rapistberger is a total douche simply because he is white/plays for the Steelers.

Besides...
There seem to be a lot of Steeler-haters on this board, entirely aside from their feelings toward Roethlisberger. Don’t know why.
It was worth the wait.

Week 8 motto: Stop making me post facepalm pictures!!!
"douche" was the most gentle term I could come up with
sorry y’all think I’m a moron – I just think it’s incredible how certain players get a pass for their off-field egregious behaviors by virtue of their arbitrary characteristics. I don’t have any personal vendetta against the Steelers; I just think it’s moral issue that’s completely ignored because of variables like his race and his status in the NFL (see also: Brett Favre’s dickshots).
If you think Roethlisberger got a pass
for his off-field behavior, then you’re watching different TV than the rest of the nation. Ben has been totally trashed through the media and an NFL suspension without benefit of criminal conviction is a big deal.
"Personally, I think we got hosed on that call." - Harry Doyle

Yeah, because when Mike Vick had his little problem the only reason they let him come back was due to his white race…Oh wait..

not exactly appropriate to continue this discussion here
so let’s just redact my original comment, call me a moron, and I’ll keep my opinions to myself. Go Saints
SAINTS: 20 STEELERS: 17
1 Saints player will account for 2 TD’s
Big Ben will miss at least one play
Hartley attemps a 40+ yard FG
BONUS: The score before the game starts will be 0-0.
Saints 27 Steelers 24
- Saints will have less than 350 yards of total offense
- Steelers will have less than 300 yards of total offense
- Saints will score points off of a play not on offense (turnover for a touchdown or special teams)
Bonus : I will get at least one of these predictions right (Odds are actually the worst on this one.)

Saints 24, Steelers 21
1. Harley kicks a game winning FG
2. Saints convert a 4th down at least once

Payton grows a pair; Saints win a close one.
Saint!
Saints 42 Steelers 27
1) The two QB’s throw for combined 700+ yards
2) Saints TE’s sc ore 2+ TD
3) Saints win the turnover ratio battle
Bravehearts are out en force today….
Anyone wants to join me on the empty bandwagon....
Saints 31, Steelers 27
My head says take Pittsburgh; my heart says stand with the Saints. My gut says, Payton’s teams play better as underdogs under pressure. I think the Saints will be pissed off and focused this time.
1. The Saints will wear black jerseys and gold pants. (I know there’s a black jersey Fanshot already, but it doesn’t mention the pants…and besides, I predicted this earlier this week, so I own it.)
2. The Steelers will have no sacks, despite heavy pressure on Brees.
3. The Steelers will lead in the 4th quarter. And so this doesn’t become true if the Saints lose, which is not what I’m trying to predict, I’ll add that the Saints will come from behind.
It was worth the wait.
I'll take "the rapist" for 200, Alex
This is the first game in a long time that I don’t expect the saints to win.
1. Big Ben gets booed.
2. Saints suffer two more turnovers.
3. Lance Moore scores.
I hope I’m wrong about all but number 3.
