Wrong. Steelers are a horrible dome team and Big Ben is still banged-up.
No, I'm not a Vikings fan, just giving them their props for overcoming what was a disastrous season.
Not anymore:
"Roethlisberger said last week that his thumb was "pretty bad" and painful. The injury showed signs this week of healing, and it does not hurt him as much. Roethlisberger said last week that surgery was a possibility after the season. But there's more hope this week that it will heal itself and return to normal without an operation, the source indicated."

What are props? Some form of gutter slang, or a football term I am unaware of?
Right, actually. Let me know if you want to bet on any matchups next week ;)
