Agree Val 

Baltimore -  24                                      Pittsburgh - 21

Ravens +3                                          under 46.5

I'll take the Ravens as a road dog coming off an ats loss.

Play against the Steelers ATS when home off home win.

Play against the Steelers when the O/U line is >41.

I don't know how these trends played out this season but they're gospel for me this week.

Ravens - Under     Pass me the hard shell Maryland crabs and Bud Ice.

Balt seems like the best angle here....but I just have a feeling that Pitt is ready to play ball.....it's always a street fight in this game....whoever wins does it on a last minute FG.....I gues I'll take Pitt.  Just hope Bell isn't out.

Only in the NFL can you get kicked out for slapping your wife on camera, but still play if you have raped two women (as long as its not on camera.)

Big Ben is a POS

it's hard to love anyone in this bitter rivalry.  Bell smarting, Nada coming off suspension.  which is why I like, not love but like, Balty +3.  in a matchup that's usually this close, take the points -- and buy the hook.

You're an Idiot. I hate the Steelers and not particularly fond of Big Ben, but he didn't rape anybody. Get your head out of your behind and put down the Inquirer. If a pro athlete rapes anybody, they will certainly be prosecuted. There isn't a woman on the planet that has ever said Ben raped her, stop being an behind clown.

Much has been said about Ravens secondary but the Steelers secondary is just as bad. Both teams are just about similar in almost every category. Pass defenses sucks but edge go to Steelers, run defenses are good: edge to Ravens, run offenses are good: tie. 

I see the big difference in the passing game. The Steelers are near the top while Ravens rank somewhere in the middle. However.. Le'Veon Bell is partly the reason for that and losing him for this game is a big blow and even if he sees limited action I don't think he will be effective. He accounts for 60% of the offense, 1300+ run yds, and 2nd in receiving with 800+ yds plus and being Big Bens security blanket when under durress. The Ravens pass rush is one of the best in the league and I believe that is their only chance to come out of Pittsburgh with a victory


Both teams blew each other out on their turf but I think this time it will be a closely fought battle coming down to 3 points or less..

Taking the points here

Ravens 23
Steelers 20

Ravens +3 and Under 43.. 

Possible bigchance of rain and 5-10 mph winds. I know this may effect the passing game but would the weather make bad pass defenses even worser? Was leaning toward the Over..
Sip on that plus money honey!

Pittsburg is 4-0 ATS in there last 4 gms. 7-3 W/ L ATS, 11-5 ATS over all.  They are good at home. Pittsburg fans demand that.

Balt. is 10-6 over all ATS, but wet the bed vs Houston.  The Steelers will slug this one out. This gm could be a classic Steeler victory. With that said, a C note and the hook, on the Steelers.

overall i think the ravens is a better team (hungry more for this)
i think flacco is more consistent and the ravens will take this by 4-7 points in a low scoring game.. the D will do most the work in this game.

Prediction: Ravens 24-17

Hey guys! Hope you all are having a great year!

I have been away a LONG time (been overseas) but I am back in the States for a while and wanted to contribute my thoughts...

As we know, these teams are VERY familiar with one another and nine out of the last 13 match-ups (going back to 2009) have been decided by three points or less!

However, I really like the Steelers in this one. I know Bell may not play but Antonio Brown is one of the best WR's in the league and Big Ben is having a career year...we know both teams will play physical defense and the Ravens are a play-off tested team that can win any game they play in...

The Steelers looked solid in their ten point win last Sunday night and have gone 8-2 their last ten (losing to the Jets in NY and the Saints at Heinz)...I don't think they will "play down" to the competition in this one...one of those ten wins was a 20-point drubbing of the Ravens in Pittsburgh...

When we look at the Steelers 6-2 home record, they played down to TB and NO (both three point losses) but have won by 10, 8, 20, 17 and 7 in five of their last six home games (the sixth being the three point loss to the Saints)...they are clearly a very strong home team...

With Bell (possibly) out and the Ravens strong rush defense (#4 in the NFL), I think Big Ben will loosen them up with passing early in the game...if the Steelers can soften the Ravens up a bit, they can open up the run game despite the loss of Bell...the Ravens looked awful against Houston two weeks ago and struggled to put the Browns away last week...they just don't seem as solid or dependable like the Ravens teams of the past...and, again, I think playing at Heinz is huge for Pittsburgh...I realize the Ravens could easily win this one outright but I think Pittsburgh is the play...

Baltimore 17   Pittsburgh 27

Betting the NFL is crazy and anything can happen...so don't let my write-up sway you...but I think the Steelers are a pretty good play here, despite my respect for the Ravens football team...

Best of luck with all your bets and I hope you make lots of

Yes Bell is out, but you plug in a capable pass catcher/blocker like Ben Tate into the offense and they aren't going to miss a beat.  Ngata coming back isn't going to effect Ben throwing the ball 20 yards down field, and I think the Steelers could run for 50 yards and still dominate this game.  No one has complained about Todd Haley in MONTHS and that is downright scary.  The Steeler's have it figured out, and the Ravens have been downright inconsistent second half of the season.

STEELERS -3

This is my play Saturday. I've done a lot of research and I think the best play is a 2 team teaser:

CAR pick w/ PIT+4

I'm going BIG on this one. Appreciate ANY feedback, Thanks

Should make it a 3 teamer with Dallas -1. 

People thinking that Pitt is going to lose against Flacco are CooKoo.

 The Denver base fans are touting Pitt to beat Balt and then come into Denver and beat the Broncos ! Really ? 

With that being said, I'll jump all over Pitt and roll it into Dallas on Sunday.

Pitt. should not lose a beat without Bell. Ben will still be able to mix it up. Being in front of a home crowd will help and having the best win % at night games seems like a good bet to me. Pitt. +3 on a Tease!
