And to wrap up Monday Night:

Pittsburgh +1.5 at JACKSONVILLE INCORRECT
About halfway through the 4th quarter yesterday the score was 3-0 Jacksonville and the Steelers were driving so I was feeling good about my Pittsburgh -4 prediction from yesterday afternoon. Then the Steelers quit driving and the Jaguars got two quick field goals and that was that. Wow, look at Jacksonville - two good wins in two weeks. Next Sunday they go on the road for the first time, to Indianapolis, so if they really are this good, we'll find out quickly.

Roethlisberger didn't look all that great - he missed a lot of open men and threw some really bad balls - but I'll let him have one rusty game to start the season after everything he's been through (motorcycle accident, appendectomy... I'm also pretty sure his dog died and that he lost to someone playing Omaha who made a straight flush with a starting hand of 4s-2s-4c-8c). One player on the Jaguars I really like is Matt Jones. He seemed to make a first down every time he touched the ball. I was in Austin when he was the Arkansas QB and torched the Horns four years ago; he is unbelievably fast in person, so being 6'6 240 we know he has the tools to be a pretty good WR, too. Let's hope Leftwich doesn't hold him back.
