I’ve been turning football picks into an impressive level of futility in recent weeks, especially in games involving the Arizona Cardinals.

But I’m sticking to my guns. Pittsburgh is simply a better team than Arizona. The Cardinals got hot at the right time, rediscovering a running game that had been missing all season. And the defense is firing on all cylinders right now.

But I think the Pittsburgh pass rush will help neutralize Kurt Warner enough to give the Steelers a chance to get ahead. The Cardinals will score points in this game – I’d be looking at the over 46.5 if I were in Vegas right now.

I’m not as confident that Pittsburgh covers the seven point spraad, but if I were forced to put money down, that’s what I’d bet on.
