I have to disagree with Beyond!! Look at it this way:
Brees has put up great number week after week, but is going to face a Defense that is stout and hungry to beat another undefeated team!! Also G-men's secondary has stepped up the past 2 games and I feel this will take away from Brees! Also Saints running game is really coming around with Thomas and that is one slight weakness the G-men have, especially in the red zone, and thats where the Saints have shined the past 2 games!!
With the Steelers bringing back Parker and getting him touches (which I DON'T believe will be much as Mendenhall will outshine him!!) this will screw up the running game a little and Ben will have to rely on his passing game to get them down the field! Also with a rookie WR in Wallace who has speed, he is going to get more and more passes to him, jacking up points for Ben! And the fact they are facing the Browns (who they love to beat up every time!!) The Steelers are setup to crush them and score alot of points!!

I'd go with big ben, considering past experiences with cleveland. Plus he's the #3 QB.

Hope this helps, I go with Ben!!

Either choice would be a good one. Brees will be at home in the dome. Big Ben might have weather to deal with. That might give Brees the edge.
