T.M. Selection: Steelers/Vikings OVER.

I am on the over in the Pittsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings game on Thursday. The Steelers looked really bad at the beginning of the year but they have been keeping themselves competitive all year and their offense has actually started to look better in their games lately. Their offense has put up 20 points and 10 points in their 2 most recent games but Big Ben has looked a lot better throwing the ball in those games and I think they will be able to move the ball against the Vikings here who have been terrible all year on defense. The Steelers did put up 37 points on the Chargers just 3 weeks ago so their offense has shown some flashed but I think Big Ben is bound to have that big game that he hasn't had year all year. This is a great game for that happen in because the Vikings defense has looked very bad and they are coming off probably their worst performance of the year. They gave the lions their 1st win of the year in their most recent game giving up 29 points to them in that game. That was not even the worst part though, the Vikings had a 4 point lead with 2 minutes to go and the Lions needed to drive the ball 75 yards down the field and then score the TD too. Well the Vikings defense was so bad that they let them march right down and score that TD but it was a major error on their part since the defenders were backing up way too much and playing way too deep. After what we saw from them in that game, I have full confidence that the Steelers will move the ball and put up some points in this game. The Vikings have had no problems on offense this year though, they have put up 25+ points in 5 games in a row and have even given up the same in most of those games. I think the Vikings will be able to score points in this game too and if their defense is getting gashed then they will have to score even more to keep up and make up for that. I think there is going to be a lot of points here so I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 27-24 Steelers.
