This game is the tipping point for the season. Im afraid either we come out flat, they come out on fire, or worse....both.

Bad feelings here.

Colts 34

Hoping Im wrong.

Steelers Thanksgiving History
Posted Nov 28, 2013


PHOTOS: Steelers Thanksgiving

Today’s matchup between the Steelers and Ravens marks the seventh time in team history that Pittsburgh has played on Thanksgiving. All seven contests have taken place away from Pittsburgh.


The Steelers first played on Thanksgiving way back on November 23, 1939, losing a close game to the Philadelphia Eagles, 17-14. The following year, the Steelers and Eagles met again on Thanksgiving, with the Eagles winning 7-0 on a late fourth quarter touchdown.


Pittsburgh secured its first and only Thanksgiving Day victory on November 23, 1950, defeating the Chicago Cardinals, 28-17. Pittsburgh rushed for 220 yards and scored four rushing touchdowns in that game, including 101 yards and two scores from running back Joe Geri.


More than 30 years passed by before the Steelers played again on Thanksgiving. But in 1983, Pittsburgh faced the Detroit Lions on November 24, losing 45-3. The Steelers also faced the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, on November 28, 1991, losing 20-10.


The Steelers last played on Thanksgiving on November 26, 1998, against the Detroit Lions, losing 19-16 in overtime.
 
I'll go w/the stats.
Colts avg @home 31
Steelers avg on road 18


So... no Luck? I'd say that helps but I have seen the Steel throw up HUGE eggs facing backups. Unless Ben throws out a total dog effort... we should win.
I'll change my pick

Thanksgiving night game.
A time to be thankful for the blessings we have.
Sunday is my birthday and my family will celebrate my 65th birthday during Thanksgiving
I've seen a lot of Steeler Football over the years.
A victory over the Colts Thursday night would be a Thanksgiving treat for all and a fine birthday present?

Happy birthday! (a few days early)
 
Oh wait can I edit my prediction? Didn't realize Luck was gonna miss the game

Not so tough SOB. 17




Salute the nation
 
Anyone else wonder which team will show up , a team that beat the winless Browns all happy faces, or the team that went to Miami and were watching the cheerleaders more than playing. .
 
Steelers - 24
Colts - 27

Tomlin gets surprised by a good game plan in place for Tolzein and makes ZERO adjustments. Blames the whole thing on Cleveland hangover.

Tolzein threw for 280, 340, and 90 in his three games in 2013. Might not be as bad as we think...
