The Steelers put the Rams down 27-0 on their Christmas Eve game this year. True, St. Louis has won two whole games this season, but Pittsburgh has been beaten up lately. My pic for this game features QB Charlie Batch filling in for Ben Roethlisberger - who pretty much always plays despite any number of injuries. Thanks for getting the job done Charlie.

I'd also like to thank everyone for their heartfelt Christmas wishes, cards, gifts and all-around support this season. Your kindness really means a lot to me. Here's to a brand-new year in 2012!
