Same decision for me. I'm rolling the dice with Smith this week. Here's why:
Passing TDs allowed this year
Pitt: 9
Chi: 16
Passing yards in last 5 games
Pitt: 251, 335, 197, 386, 242 = 1411 or 282.2/gm
Chi: 398, 253, 448, 191, 438 = 1728 or 345.6/gm
Sacks made in last 5 games
Pitt: 18
Chi: 7
INTs made in last 5 games
Pitt: 7
Chi: 6
Points allowed in last 5 games
Pitt: 99
Chi: 137

Palomalu is back, Chris Henry is out and Vernon Davis is a stud

I am struggling with the EXACT same decision.

My thought is Palmer...Orton had some success in the beginning against Pit. And Denver has nothing resembling the Bengals offense. Benson is back, the line is healthy, and the receivers are clicking. And with Pit intent on stopping the run, Palmer could be the one to benefit.

Smith plays a bad D, but something in me thinks that Singletary will still want the focal point to be Gore.

If you are a big underdog, I'd go with Smith and hope he can come out blazing. But I think Palmer gets the consistent 225 yards and a TD.

I think im going to roll the dice with A. Smith. I just dont see any upside with C. Palmer especially with C. Henry out, where Smith could put up some yards on that sh1tty defense.
