If ever there was a weekend to take the points, this is it.
An evil little twinge-like gambler sensation, makes me want to risk some house money on the Ravens +185ML.
My 3 unit bet is on the +5 spread.
This is about the time in every season that Pittsburgh starts to sink.
It's the injury thing mixed with a one dimensional ability to move the ball. Creates a sort of depression on the team tht makes road games more fun than home games.

its going to be a long night for the steelers. rothlisburger might literally get killed out there. pittsburgh is a mess. ill be shocked if they get 3 pts so obviously they will not cover. yet another easy winner.

I honestly wanted my Dolphins to move up in the draft to find a way to pick up Flacco. I like the way he looked in games poised and a strong delivery, but when I seen him in pre-season he looked like the D2 qb that he really is.
This will be a tough test for this young Qb to come into the bright lights on the road to Pittsburgh. I'm certain the Steelers will come at Flacco at full throttle bringing in blitzing linebackers & corners to fluster Flacco. If the Steelers defense can take away the Ravens running game the Ravens will surely be in trouble leaving the game in the hands of Flacco on the road.
My only concern right now is the Steelers o-line need to protect Big Ben. They cannot let the same thing that happened last week happen again. If the protection is there the Steelers can get the running and passing game back in balance and the Steelers should come out with a victory.
Still thinking........

Baltimore is an excellent teaser candidate to make it +11. The sacks and turnovers will result in enough short fields that BALT can get a TD or 2 and several field goals, they will probably lose SU but get the cover.
I teased with the Bears so i got half won, you can tease with next weeks games if you haven't put a bet in yet.

Hello all, My numbers at the moment are pointing to the UNDER 33.5. As of now I am leaning towards Pitt. but am a little troubled by the, as far as i see it, Huge line drop. Why? Thinking it was a direct result to Willie Parker being out but it dropped another half point later in the week. Loving Balt. here is what they want us to think. My prediction: Pitt 16 Balt 9 good luck all. ps I dont wager till gametime. Back later, peace

Thinking Pitt-3 first half. Hard to believe Baltimore is 2-0, but then again they did play teams that are 0-4 and 1-3. The one thing I'm really looking at is the turnovers. Pitt had 3 turnovers against Philly ( all by Big Ben 2 fumbles 1 int) , but has gotten better and has only had 1 turnover since. I think if they run the ball more and play ball control, they will win an ugly game.

This is another division game. The public seems to be leaning towards pittsburg. Baltimore is getting no respect for thier wins as usual. Cleveland played them both this year and baltimore won with a bigger margine although pitt played that game in bad weather conditions.
Baltimore is not getting respect for thier wins.
The line went down due to injurys to pittsburg. I believe Ben R. is not 100 percent and might get knocked out of this game knowing both teams history.
No fast willie, but mendenhall is not a bad replacement although he has not played well this season yet, but last year when he took over for willie parker he did a good job.
I believe this will be a close game and if big ben gets knock out baltimore win this game.
Im taking the points inthis one and going agasint the public. Like I did on sunday night.
Baltimore +5

Giving Pitt the edge but tough call even though Pitt is home without Parker they will be far less effective tonight Big Ben is still to find his game and may also be hurting but Falco just has not shown he can get it done.I'm haten this choice Might just play the total after a tough weekend

The ‘over’ is 6-1 in the last seven series meetings between the Ravens and Steelers at Heinz Field. The ‘over’ is 7-1 in the Ravens’ last eight Monday night games. The Ravens are 6-21 ATS in their last 28 road outings, while the Steelers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home contests.
STEELERS - 24
RAVENS - 13

Not hard to be the best defense in the league playing teams like Cleveland and Cincinnati, 2 of the league's bottom three offenses. I was more impressed with the Steelers defensive effort against the high powered Philadelphia offense and all star quarterback holding McNabb and company to 260 total yards.
Pittsburgh has a Super Bowl winning quarterback to back that defense. They are 61-45 coming off a loss, 31-24 as home favorites, and 30-20 against teams from their division. A 12-5 record as a Monday night home favorite doesn't hurt either, especially when you compare that to baltimore's paltry 2-7 record as a Monday Night road dog. Pittsburgh is also 8-2 on Monday night playing against teams with a record over .500, and 5-0 ats home playing an opponent off back to back straight up wins.
Considering what the Steelers did to McNabb's offense even in defeat, it is hard for me to imagine Flacco moving the ball with any regularity against a team with this kind of defense when I look over his stats against weaker defensive teams Cincy and Cleveland.
I like the reverse line movement for this game and if the line goes down to 4 I will take the game down to Pittsburgh-3, although a -230 moneyline is ideal for a 5 point spread, and a deal when taking into account that 5 points usually costs -240. Baltimore is +190, which is also correct for a 5 point dog, but I see that 10 cents on the dollar savings for taking Pittsburgh's 5, and it makes me want to take the team with the more experienced signal caller and defense that had a signature performance, this year even in defeat.
Pittsburgh -.5 1st quarter -105
Pittsburgh-3 -165 (2 point buy) for game
Pittsburgh/Baltimore over 34.5

I am on Baltimore +5.5 here. Yes I am aware of the trends with Pitt at home, and Balt on the road, but I'm not too concerned. Pitt should have beaten Philly last week -- they could get very little done against them, and this Balt defense is even better.
Pitt may pull out a win, but it will be close. Balt + 5.5.

Pittsburgh wins this thing is by at least ten points. The Steelers won't be made to be embarrassed on nat'l tv for a second time.
Though an important weapon, Parker is not the linchpin which makes that Pittsburgh offense go. This is going to be a statement game for the Steele City, and John Q. will be smiling from ear to ear, at the end of it all.
