Bettis may be a good play this week (1 Viewer)

This very well could be the last game Bettis plays for the yinzer locals. I'm not saying they're going to run him ragged, as he will be needed for the playoffs, but I can see him having an emotional boost and cranking out a good game. thoughts?

sadly (because I am going against him) I agree :(

Risky. Bettis is likely to be announced to the crowd with the starters and he'll get a few carries and maybe a TD early. But if the game means nothing or the Steelers get a sizable lead, I doubt he'll see the second half.

Agree completely. He is the guy who needs the most rest of everyone. No way they use him any more than they need to this week. If anything I expect a lot more of Parker and Haynes.

Unless DEN's 2nd stringers pull off a miracle, this game means nothing to PIT correct?Bettis might not be on the field at all.

It's his Pittsburgh swansong. Cowher will get him a TD I bet.

No. If KC beats Cincinnati (very possible since game is at Arrowhead and the Bengals have a home playoff game regardless) then the Steelers have to beat Detroit in order to make the playoffs.
