Week 17 of the 2010 Football regular season puts the Panthers on the road to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers. It’s the bottom of the NFC South vs the leading of the AFC North. The Steelers are holding tight to their 10-4-0 record as the regular season fast comes to a tight and the playoff nerves are about to kick in. The Carolina Panthers on the other hand do not have too much to lose with their 2-12-0 record coming into this Thursday night’s match.




Sports book posts the Steelers as the minus 14 point favorites to win at home this week, with the total over under at 37. In recent Steelers news, it’s looking great that they will have tight end Heath Miller back on the field this Thursday. Miller, injured Dec. 5 in Baltimore, was expected to return for Sunday’s match versus the Jets, but made post-concussion headaches and was presented out. His replacement, Matt Spaeth, caught a touchdown pass throughout Pittsburgh’s 22-17 loss. Miller was wounded on a helmet hit by the Ravens’ Jameel McClain, who was fined $40,000 by football. Defensive end Aaron Smith (torn triceps) is being fitted with a shoulder brace so he can resume practicing, despite the fact that coach Mike Tomlin did not say Monday when that may be. The Steelers practice only one time this week. Smith hasn’t performed since being wounded Oct. 24 in Miami.

As for the Carolina Panthers, they’re arriving from one of only two wins this year, last weekend vs the Cardinals. Carolina is the worst team in football at 2-12 but they did get their 2nd win of the year this past week at home versus Arizona. There is not much to like about Carolina but maybe their defense can keep this match respectable and that’s all it will take to cover the spread. The Carolina Panthers do have a defense that is near the leading 10 in the league so they’re able to keeping the score down. The issue for Carolina is that they’ve got a lousy offense. Jimmy Clausen is not a quality Football quarterback and even in last week’s win the majority of the scoring came from kicker John Kasay. The Carolina Panthers do have Jonathan Stewart who can run the ball efficiently but racing versus the Steelers won’t be effortless. Carolina Panthers celebrated the end of a seven-game losing streak with a hard-to-watch, but quite gratifying 19-12 win over the punchless Arizona Cardinals. With just 218 total yards, the Cardinals had trouble to move the ball the complete match. But Larry Fitzgerald was able to have his greatest day of the year as the receiver, he went over the century mark for only the 2nd time this year. The Carolina Panthers may be on a successful high at the time, but even so it’s definitely not destined to be enough to face the toughest defense they’ve got yet to confront this year.
