Hey Fellow NFL fans,

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been on a roll lately and now share a lead in the AFC North with the Cincinnati Bengals. Both the Steelers and Bengals share a 6-2 record as they will go up against each other in the Steel City on Sunday. Ben Roethlisberger has always been my favorite player and this week as well as the weeks previous I believe Big Ben will have a big game. I think he will have 3 touchdowns and over 200 yards against the Bengals. I am picking the Steelers to win 34-17.

My 3 hot picks are guys that I am certain will have huge games this week.

My first pick is Rashard Mendenhall, Running Back of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who will run over the Bengals' defense just like he did the great Broncos' Defense last week. Rashard ran over a 100 yards last week and I think he will do the same this week.

My second pick is Drew Brees, Quarterback of the New Orleans Saints, who will have a huge game. He may have his best game of the year maybe even career as he goes against the St. Louis Rams.

My third pick is, the defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings, Jared Allen as they play the Detroit Lions. Don't be suprised to see Jared Allen get in the back field a ton. Just remember you heard it all from Sam first.

Good Luck to your teams!
