...Fact: The STEELERS, favored by a slender one-and-a-half that feels like a pick 'em, will not disappoint L.I. Slim again. Down with Elway. Fact: The EAGLES, 6-1 at home, are hothothot, at least for them. Face it: the Giants couldn't score a touchdown if the Eagles slept through the game. Fact: The Raiders will sleep through the game.
