BD: Finally, what’s your prediction for the game, and are their any key players set for a big game?

KM: The Steelers should have their minds set that if they win out, they win the division for the first time since 2010 and that’s huge following consecutive 8-8 seasons. I’d say that Ben Roethlisberger and Le’Veon Bell both have huge games again and I’m actually really looking forward to seeing what kind of damage Bell can do on turf in the Georgia Dome. I believe the Steelers defense is still capable of giving up those big plays that make us all scream at the TV so the Falcons will put some points on but the Steelers win 37-17.

BD: As for my prediction; well, despite decimating our defense in my previous answer, we did show a lot in the second half against Green Bay, bringing a little pressue and sparking an unlikely comeback. That said, the dominance of Le’Veon Bell, mixed with the arm strength of Ben Roethlisberger and the many Steelers deep threats leads me to beleive that a lot of points will be scored in this one. If Julio misses, I can see it getting ugly, but assuming he plays I have the Steelers winning in a shootout, 37-31.
