Hey, at least this week, Notre Dame didn’t lose … but it didn’t play, either. Charlie Weis gets to keep his job another year despite another non-winning season, and now he has Ty Willingham defending him, which was a classy thing for his predecessor to do. I doubt that Notre Dame will tolerate another six-win season from Weis, especially with the way the Irish managed to lose to Syracuse, Boston College, and narrowly avoided losing to Navy.
At any rate, that means that I’m not owed a victory from my Pittsburgh Steelers in the karmic sense, but I think they’ll win anyway. They smashed the New England Patriots last week, and the Cowboys have to come to Pittsburgh to play today. The Steelers appear to be growing stronger and gaining momentum. I wouldn’t be surprised by a blowout, but I’ll predict a 27-14 victory for the Black and Gold today. They’ll need it, because Baltimore will probably beat Washington today, and that will set up the showdown next week between the two conference rivals.
What game will you be watching today? Jazz will no doubt watch the Jets stomp on the 49ers, but the better game will be the Eagles at the Giants. I’m not betting against the Giants this week; they’ll beat Donovan McNabb by 10.
